Review Yongnuo Speedlite YN560-II
Yongnuo Speedlite YN560-II is a very simplified version of the model YN565EX. Outwardly, they are practically indistinguishable. In the box, in addition to the flash, I found a support foot, a black case, a manual and a Yongnuo booklet.
YN560-II is very easy to operate. Since the price of flashes is highly dependent on the presence of TTL modes, and in the YN560-II these modes are not available, the price for it ranges from $ 70-120:
All prices on YN560
The flash power is infinitely adjustable - from 1/1 to 1/128, with many intermediate values. The zoom ranges from 24 to 105mm, the zoom is only manually adjustable and cannot automatically adjust to the focal length of the lens. YN560-II - has total one central sync contactand therefore it is suitable for Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Olympus cameras without any problems. The flash head rotates all 270 degrees: 180 left, 90 right. In the vertical plane, the head can be rotated up to 90 degrees.
YN560-II has useful modes S1, S2 for remote control. Using the S1 mode, the flash can be ignited by the first light pulse from the main flash. YN560-II do not support high-speed synchronization mode, cannot control other flashes automatically and cannot work in automatic slave mode. On the Canon 350D I shot without problems on shutter speed 1 \ 200 c. In S1 and S2 modes, the power is set, too, only manually. In S2 mode, the flash is ignited without any problems on the second (or last) pulse of the main flash. Modes S1 and S2 cannot work in high speed sync mode. The same modes can be found in very cheap flashes. Yongnuo Speedlite YN460-II и YN460.
Attention: the light trap, which is responsible for receiving command pulses, is located on the front panel of the flash, therefore, to synchronize with the flash in S1, S2 modes, you need to place the YN560-II so that it “sees” the command pulse of another flash. YN560-II also supports Multi (strobe mode).
Shoe leg metal. There is a flash PC sync studio flash sync connector and SF-18C and SF-17C external power supply connector.
The cheapest is to buy Yongnuo flashes at aliexpress.
Conclusions:
YN560-II - Simple Flash manually controlled power... It attracts with a good build, S1, S2 modes and a low price. Perfect for people who just need an inexpensive and powerful light source :) By the way, a modified version has been released - YN560-III.

almost exact copy of canon 460exII
And they sell them in boxes, very similar to Nikon's boxes.
I saw on Ali such a beast YONGNUO YN560 III price from $ 60. Judging by the photo is different from version II.
I have this - YONGNUO YN560 III, excellent manual flash, very satisfied, differs from the one presented in the review, only by the presence of a radio synchronizer, I plan to make a portable studio out of a pair of such
This is exactly what comes to me from China. I'll try, if you're interested - unsubscribe.
And what is this - the whole review ?? It feels like it was written for show.
flash pristenka, why chew about it!
write better and in more detail, and ask Arkady to insert what you give birth to.
I use these at a wedding. I do not bother with TTL.
Reliable, cheap flash.
What zoom to set on flashes if they stand on racks and are directed to the ceiling?
There is no ready-made recipe here - even if there are bagatoo factors. Do more experimenting (“shoot” well) - go ahead!
Hello, please tell me this flash on the NIKON D3100 WILL FIT?
Will fit.
that is, for beginners, this flash is difficult to use?
no, it’s not difficult, swing the neta instruction and go
Please advise for my kenon 1000d - is this suitable or maybe there is another option, for example, it would be better to YN560 III.
is there TTL on this flash ????
No, only manual control.
I’ll add a little on my own, one of the flashes from me was bought in a Chinese on-line store for $ 54.56, delivery is free. The flash works stably, more than Nikon SB700 in size. Power is slightly higher than that of the SB700. The only drawback is that when the batteries are weak, the zoom stops moving. The battery squeezes out well.
Hi, I ask for a link to a Chinese on-line store where you purchased a flash for $ 54.56. Thank!
eBay Here you can buy it yourself bought everything came in 17 days but you have to set the price yourself because showing the cosiness of the model is expensive I bought for $ 62 shipping for free see the seller from China Hong Kong pasta strings and England from the USA are expensive
EBAY
Is this flash suitable for sony r1? There is still an old hot shoe with a central contact.
Native flash is not sold anywhere. Then I absolutely do not understand how its settings
link with distance, sensitivity and aperture.
Olympus E-P3 fit? and then I saw the Old with a list of cameras and models, but I did not find my own in this list.
Only today came out a review of a similar (Olympus Pen E-P5) camera in Radozhiv. There they competently declare the possibility of working with any standard flash, and as an example there is a photo with Nikonov sb-900. Given that in addition to TTL, there is no difference between the Nikon and youngnuo 560 for the camera, you can safely buy this flash to your camera. It is clearly cheaper than the branded one, which costs $ 260. Naturally, all the settings will have to be done manually, but you quickly get used to it, it is worth practicing just a few days for a couple of hours in different lighting conditions.
on Nikon D5100 18-105 It is better which flash Yongnuo YN-560 II or YONGNUO YN468 II ??? Tell me please))))
I’m looking at it more beautifully than 468-II, because there I want less focus, protec- tive autofocus (it’s better at night), and you can add power manually (I’m talking about more than 70). And zagalі then the main zyomka w on the day and an extract in the main all the same, then up then in the diffuser)))
Arkady, tell me where you can buy separately any device that is installed on a shoe that provides autofocus illumination of the camera during operation, when the flash on the synchronizers? And it’s better with a through channel for installing a transmitter on this device (the transmitter also does not have autofocus lights). I don’t want to know if you use flashlights in the dark
Novice photographer, I want to buy puff, what can you recommend, this one or SB 700?
Thank you in advance)
I apologize, too, a beginner, to start with a manual flash as the first is better, TTL (auto-building) without experience will disappoint with the same picture as with the built-in .. Too much needs to be controlled with consciousness ..
It's very similar here, like the first DSLR should be as fast as possible ...
First impressions for that kind of money are not very bad….
Thank you for the reviews, when buying - thanks to you - you know what you pay for and what to expect from technology,
and for the money saved, which is always not enough for a meaningless race for new models of photographic equipment,
I chose a completely universal kit for reasonable means, and for the result I’m not ashamed of anyone .. !!!
I use such a flash for Sonya, I want to warn you that there are problems that have not yet been resolved. Namely: it incorrectly works out impulses more powerful than 1/8 in the wireless control mode of the built-in WL flash - there is darkness in the frame, it does not fire synchronously, but earlier. Even the ONLINE TRADE service center, after two months of repair, simply issued a new one, failed, and it works the same way. Either they do not know how it should be, or the marriage party (assumption without reason, lack of technical knowledge)
Let me clarify that “for Sonya” means the official version of the flash for Sonya, with all the marks and the correct shoe. I think that it is still secondary to Canon-Nikon, hence the problems.
Idem.
Sony's firm makes very strange photos, everything is buggy with them ... I note that Nikonists and Canonists have no complaints about Ungnuo
After a week of torment, I decided to sell it, it works flawlessly, I hastened to buy it without figuring out that it does not have TTL, constantly adjusting both the camera and the flash for me is tedious since it’s a newcomer. Who needs to contact a brand new for 3 TR
I tried it with TTL flash - the effect was not particularly impressive, more settings have to be turned, and with 560-II, the power quickly recovers, a couple of test frames is enough, and does not knock people (models) with preflashes, it takes well in s1 s2 modes, for a hundred frames a couple of misses, and the batteries last up to 1000 frames .. I'm very happy so far ..
With an understanding of the matter - an excellent help for a penny, still think hard whether it is worth overpaying five times for an analogue with TTL and what will you get in the end ???
Privit usim otographs. Having bought a price, I’ve got an appendage up to SB 700. I’m not dirty, I’m on my own wisdom, ах misses. Now I have a meal: how can I get it in public? No channel, group, mode SLIVE S1 S2 (SU-4 Nikon).
Good evening.
Please tell me, does this flash also have no fixation on the Pentax camera or is it already there?
If you press the On / Off button, the flash gives a signal, the screen blinks once, the green indicator blinks once and then turns off.
What is it ? Are the batteries dead? Or something more serious?
Everything is elementary: you need to keep it on for a few seconds, and everything will be chocolate!
