Review Meike Speedlite MK910

Review Meike Speedlight MK910

Meike Speedlight MK910 came to me completely new, in a box with all the pieces of paper and even with a protective film on the display and back. The flash is almost a complete clone of the native flagship Nikon Speedlight SB-900. True, somewhere in the Chinese laboratories there were failures during copying and the clone received only a fraction of the capabilities of the original.

There is a flash review on Radozhiv Meike Speedlight MK900which is 90% similar to the functionality of the Meike Speedlight MK910. The MK910 has addressed the main flaw - the lack of support for Nikon FP high-speed sync. Using the MK910 with cameras that support Nikon FP, you can shoot at any shutter speed, even as fast as 1/4000 s and 1/8000 s. Another difference is the higher guide number of 60 versus the claimed 42 meters for MK900... True, after rereading the entire instruction, I still could not find with what parameters the Chinese calculated such a leading number. And MK910 also has a light, barely noticeable, blue lamp illumination. The backlight works for some time (about an hour) even if you remove the batteries from it and remove from the camera. What this backlight is for - I don't know.

That same ominous backlight of the main lamp. The flash is removed from the camera, without batteries, in the off state

That same ominous backlight of the main lamp. The flash is removed from the camera, without batteries, in the off state

Actually, there are no more differences from MK900 I did not find and do not want to repeat the previous review.

My experience with the Meike Speedlight MK910 is small, but I still want to point out that the MK910 is not a copy of Nikon Speedlight SB-910, but just modernization Meike Speedlight MK900. I SB-910 и MK900 (like SB-900) a slightly different arrangement of control buttons and the latch of the battery compartment. During the test, the MK910 worked correctly in the automatic TTL mode at any shutter speed. It is a pity that the MK910 only added support for Nikon FP, but did not restore a million other useful and necessary things that are found in the native SB-910/900. First of all, it concerns the TTL mode for the flash master. In the remote control mode, the MK910 can still set fire to other flashes in the automatic TTL mode, but at the same time it can fire only with a manual indication of power, or not give a pulse at all (i.e. give only control pulses). Everything else on my cameras Nikon D700 и D80 the flash was sometimes not recognized by the camera, in order to bring it to life, it had to be turned on and off once or twice.

Also, the MK910 does not accurately show the battery charge, when testing for two sets of my working and fully charged batteries, the flash looked askance and gave a message that they were completely discharged, although with the same batteries I then shot the same flash in the light tube using other external flashes: ) By the third set of batteries fully charged by smart charging, the flash showed condescension, but stated that their charge corresponds to only one strip :). The fourth set of MK910 took as expected, showing a full charge, but after 10 test operations, their level dropped to one strip.


I am not a big fan of third-party flashes and for Nikon cameras I recommend, of course, to use native outbreaksFor example, Nikon SB-700. On the other hand, third-party outbreaks are much cheaper than the originals and at the same time have the basic functionality, which will be enough with the head for most simple tasks. Personally, I was always interested in whether Nikon and other manufacturers are suing for mercilessly copying their products, including the instructions for them?

Thank you for attention. Arkady Shapoval.

  • Eugene

    And how do you rate this Chinese craft compared to Yongnuo and others?

    • Madness scif

      Do not worry, save and take the native Nikon sb-910. she has a huge resource of work and service, not only a huge number of pluses)

      • Madness scif

        and the main build quality))) the Chinese show the build quality - everything sticks out - on the first head photo you can see everything (

      • PHOTOGRAPHER

        I’ve been using MK_910 for two years now, the flight is normal. It costs 4-5 times cheaper than the original and is very suitable for reportage shooting, I wrote it out from Aliexpress and she has never let me down. By the way, on my MK-910 there are no problems with batteries, it works on any and works fine

    • Arkady Shapoval

      All Chinese + are similar to each other, I indicated my attitude towards them in the review.

  • Yuriy75

    Thanks to Arkady for the review, at one time he also rushed between Mets Sigma and his native Canon, chose his own, because the reviews for third-party flashes are not all positive (either the TTL mode does not work correctly, then it does not work in Live View mode, the illumination angle does not change, or even worse, the lamps melt the body, i.e. there is no protection against overheating, etc.), they do not write this about relatives. And money ... money can be acquired. Moreover, such things are taken for a long time.

  • Ronin427

    The names are very confused, Speedlit by Kenon, Nikon Speedlite.
    And the Chinese says Speedlight.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Everything except the pictures is Fixed. Damn jokes Nikon / Canon!

      • Ronin427

        =)))))))))))))))

  • Vladimir

    Well, at least a clip, like a native.

  • Gene jb

    Arkady, I understand that the pieces of iron are pleasing. Especially Chinese and Soviet. But I would like to distract towards the intellectual. For example, I asked about HDRI or for example a hot topic about smart chargers and AA batteries. After all, flashes do not work without them.

    • Alexander D300s

      I use this kind of charging for AA batteries.
      http://www.pekarskas.com/#!-NITECORE-intelligent-charger-i4/cx3h/942E6B56-CE20-402A-A2C9-CAF017BFEAF4
      Great charger. Its cost is about 20 dollars. There are LED charge indicators that correctly display the charge, and individually display the charge of each battery. Another of the amenities of this charger can be noted that you can charge 4 batteries, or 3, or 2, or 1 (and not just 2 or 4 as everywhere). Plus, I have two flashlights on incandescent bulbs that work from 2 AA batteries with which I sometimes discharge the batteries to the END before the next charge, since the flashes do not completely discharge the batteries. As for the batteries themselves, for two years now I have been using cheap (100 rubles for 1 pcs AA) Camillion or MP from 1500-2000 mAh each (I don’t take more power since not all charges charge MORE THAN 2000 mAh)

    • Arkady Shapoval

      I don’t work with HDRI, my blog is written from personal experience, when I get to it, the topic bust of Mikuru Asahina HDRI will be disclosed.

  • Alexander

    Thanks to Arkady for the review. Itself recently all the same switched to the Nikon SB-910 and was struck by its power, ease of operation, and an intuitive menu, unlike the Chinese. I used to use the Nikon SB-700 but did not like the power. Then I bought two pieces of the brand new Yongnuo 568EX2 HSS (this is the top Yongnuo model that even has high-speed synchronization), but there was still some kind of sediment on my soul due to the clumsy menu and creaky flimsy body, after which I got together with thoughts and bought a Nikon SB-910 and neither Gram did not regret, even more than that, I realized that it was necessary to start getting acquainted with the flashes precisely with Nikon SB-910. Arkady is right, native flashes are better than their Chinese counterparts by as much as they are more expensive. Believe me, the difference in price is 2 or even 3 times !!! cannot pass unnoticed. No freebies!

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Nikon and Canon flagship flashes are works of art! I have not yet seen more than one Chinese counterpart, even among the TOP Chinese, who have such subtleties as their relatives. Those who understand the intricacies will use the original, those who only need a basic feature will manage the Chinese (or Germans).

      • Alexander

        Arkady completely agrees with you about the "work of art." You are 101% correct. I myself used the TOP Chinese Yongnuo 568EX HSS and confused, the menu is clumsy, the assembly sucks, the functionality is cut down, even the Nikon SB-700 which I used for a year surpasses this TOP Chinese. Not to mention the Nikon SB-910 which is simply gorgeous, so gorgeous that after I bought one Nikon SB-910, I could not resist and immediately ran after the second one) And now I can control two light sources as master and slave without any triggers , both with and without umbrellas, plus everything in the set with Nikon SB-910 there are two color gels that will fit in 80% of situations, and which can be worn right along with the diffusing cap at the same time (by the way, even the TOP Chinese still do not can act as a MASTER flash) In dreams of taking a third Nikon SB-910 flash (as a back source)

        • Igor S.

          Here, rather, the question is in the expediency of acquiring a native flash. If there were no Chinese outbreaks, I, as an amateur, would never have dared to buy my own.
          Those. Chinese manufacturers give fans the opportunity to work with external flashes. After all, it’s one thing to spend $ 100 for the sake of the experiment and $ 600 is quite another. I’m reminding you of those people who don’t earn on photography.

          • Maksim

            I won’t wait for you, I’m an amateur myself, you don’t have to pay two or three tricks, having bought a rock for that new 700-ku for 300 dollars. Having tried the Chinese from friends for 100-150 dollars, the zhoden was not added. Materiali vigotovlennya zhakhlivі, creaking, tearing problems and including / turning off, that is trivial to repair them often do not want to be more than one-time average. Wanting to seem, right now the infection has shortened. That and the satisfaction of objednogo funktsionalionu vie hummingly do not deny. Nikon pratsyu like a year-old, most respected, for a little bit of rock there weren’t any problems in the robot, but on the other hand, I’ve gotten some stimulus to experiment, moreover, I know that all of this is correct, more than once.

            • Igor S.

              This once again confirms my words. When buying a flash from Nikon, you already had experience working with flashes and managed to test some of them. If a novice photographer does not have the opportunity to try and understand why there are flashes, what kind of flashes he needs, then a cheaper China will help him in this. With this, not very straining the family budget. And the possibility of choice is always better than its absence.
              Of course, this instance in the article was buggy and I wouldn’t have taken it, but I won’t refuse from Yongnuo. To summarize, I would say that there are family outbreaks for people who are engaged in commercial photography and enthusiast enthusiasts who are willing to give a considerable amount.

              • Maksim

                Here it’s humorous dіysno klyuchove naskіlki amateur photographer amateur amateur that skіlki maє koshtіv. I’ll say to Dosvidu friends, but all the same, often 100 dollars for Chinese dorms cost a little more. For 100 dollars, you take a working normal instance with an objemnim functional ale I like you to come then I think that it’s self-guilty but on the market, because you correctly wrote vib_ guilty but. Especially for myself, I’m having vibrated toward original spalakhs.

              • Yuri Almaty

                Good afternoon!

                Please tell me, it is advisable to step by step how to set the rear curtain blinds on the MK910 flash, D7000 camera. I myself can’t drip up.

  • Maksim

    However, I will not be able to hold the battery for the old sleepers, if the battery has been slept through, the analogue of the number of frames on the D90 for example. I myself am killing the 700th, and when I am killing it, it is not like I am killing the Chinese. On the porch of the Chinese there is a lot of everything, and the number is great and every one ... on the practical side, either not pratsyu, or pratsyuє every other time. There is no such thing in children, so dear ale nadіine.

  • Artuwok

    My personal experience (not so rich) suggests that if you want to learn to WORK with a flash, then for the first time, not an original flash will be quite enough. I personally use the Nissin Di700 for Nikon and am very pleased with it. Yes, the original is not Nikon 910, but the quality is very good, it does not creak, it does not play. Well, it’s worth its money!

    So this is a personal matter for everyone, but if you are not a pro or do not make money with photography, then perhaps you do not need the top one, because you are unlikely to use it to the fullest ...

  • Vladislav

    Alexander, even NOT TOP Nissin can :)
    I now have in my arsenal Nissin DI866 and Nikon SB900 - and both can be perfectly both slaves and masters.

    In addition, the basic functions on the Nissin are more convenient and faster to operate than on the Nikon, yes, the latter has more settings, but the question is: how often are they in demand? In 95% of cases, the basic functionality is enough, and in some cases Nikon loses: for example, to turn on the slave flash mode from a simple impulse (not CLS), you need hell-knows-where to get into the settings, in Nissin it's all “at hand” , and Nikon "does not know how" to work on the second puff.

    If we take the basic functionality and difficult working conditions: a large and relatively dark room (where the backlight af is at a distance of more than 10 meters is useless), the flashes show approximately the same result: sufficient rate of fire, sufficient power and quick reload when shooting sports events with a long-focus dark lens.
    Nissin has already shot many thousands of frames, and there are no complaints about his work.
    Nikon has its own quirks - such as better af illumination, quick mounting on the shoe, and the presence of light filters in the kit. I do not like the button for fixing the position of the head (someday I will disassemble the puff and remove the fixing mechanism) - it really interferes with operational work.
    Actually for the little things and for the inscription “Nikon” the user pays money.

    Of course, this is everyone's personal business, what exactly to spend money on, but I think that for the first acquaintance with TTL flashes, you need to take a branded top-end item, however, you should also not buy a puff for $ 100 - this will also work for something, but not as the main flash.
    My first TTL flash was the Nissin DI866 markII, and I am very pleased with it and still use it later, when I bought the Nikon SB900, I already knew what to expect from it, and which rifles I miss.

    Successful shots to all, and do not get hung up on the technique, because “the photograph is taken by the photographer”
    ;-)

    • Alexander D300s

      Woooot !!! The truth was said “a photograph is taken by a photographer” and not a camera and lenses with flashes) and not even Soviet lenses))) but a photographer. The main light, the rule of thirds, the rule of diagonals, the geometry in the frame, the angle, etc. etc. The rest is not so important. For example, I know a girl who on Nikon D800 + 24-70 makes such hellish pictures that she would have had enough of Nikon D3100, but no, show-off is more expensive than quality. After all, when she has a D800, clients and photographers will not tell her that she is an amateur. And lately there are a lot of such “professionals” who work from Monday to Friday in the grocery store, and on Saturday they become a “professional” wedding photographer, and don't even know what the “rule of thirds” is and don't know how to blur the background with aperture. And they shoot in MALE mode, as Arkady already said, or in “P” mode

    • Vladislav

      Something I didn’t finish, I should read: “… for the first acquaintance with TTL-flashes, a beginner should NOT take a branded top item…”, but I will not recommend the cheapest Chinese either.
      It is worth taking a model of the middle price range, and after using it, a person will understand whether such a flash is enough for him, or if he needs something more advanced. Well, an already existing device can either be sold or left slave / reserve

  • Tony

    I also have a MK910 make-up, and my shutter speed shorter than 1/250 does not turn on (neither in a semiautomatic device, nor in a manual ... d700 carcass. 50mm 1.4g glass.
    can anyone know how to “turn it on”?

    • Vladimir

      On the camera and flash, you need to enable the FP function

  • Felix

    Hello, the backlight is made by the Chinese to effectively discharge the capacitor :)

    Resistors are now out of fashion: D

  • Raised

    It seems that all at once forgot how much it costs. Today it can be bought for $ 124. Of course, you are great, you support the original manufacturer, but for an amateur-beginner this is a godsend. And where is there who found protruding-sticking out? I have this flash in my hands, the quality is great.
    Maha Imedion AA 2400 fully charged showed the entire charge (3 divisions).
    On his copy, I did not find any barely noticeable backlights of the lamp.

    • Vladimir

      I fully support it. An excellent flash for an amateur for that kind of money (I took for 4500 rubles) the functions are quite enough and everything works adequately. You probably got a clumsy copy

    • Lynx

      for starters, Yukinovskaya 462 is enough, for example, for 2-2,5 thousand rubles.
      More than. pay twice or three times for china, especially not ice.

  • STIV

    Arkady - thanks for the review and also for all the rest of the work. You know, we still have a system of conferring the titles “honored”, “people's” to artists and not only. I think that many will support me that you can safely be awarded the title of “people's” teacher of photography, or whatever else you may call it.
    A joke, of course. But do the work ogroooooomnaya !!!
    Now on the case - "Chinese" or "originals", kenon or nikon, blondes or brunettes, etc. etc. It all depends on what we can do, what we do, what tasks the technique performs. I once took Yongnuo YN565EX and YN560 - and it was enough for me. Yes, a year later the 565th went out. Not fixed yet. I looked at this (MK910). But at the last moment I again took (which one do you think?) - 565th! And I work!
    Not everyone shoots D800-m or 5dmk3. And this is normal.
    Personally, I think that for "amateurs", for those who study, Chinese flashes are very good. I don't agree with the "flimsy" body. The menu is normal. All this corresponds to the price. But the owners of FX cameras and high-aperture zooms don't even look in the direction of the “Chinese”, there are “originals” for that.
    I would also like to hear more objective reviews from real owners. (At the top there is a comment from the person who writes “everything sticks out - you can see it all on the first head photo (“ It's not serious at all - I didn't even hold it in my hands, but I comment.
    And one more thing - sometimes it is a little unpleasant to see how in the comments some readers slightly “bite” Arkady for certain oversights or mistakes.
    The one who does nothing is not mistaken. Let's get more constructive.
    Arkady - keep it up!

    • Alexander

      I disagree with you STIV on the account: "Well, the owners of FX cameras and high-aperture zooms don't even look in the direction of the" Chinese ", there are" originals "for that"
      Personally, I myself have Nikon D300s and Nikon D5100 and I used to use Nikon SB-700, then Yongnuo 568 EX II HSS and only after that I took Nikon SB-910 to my CROPS, and I will tell you honestly that even CROPS are getting better in terms of pictures with good attachments like Nikon SB-910 flashes and Nikkor 17-55mm f2.8G Nikkor 50mm f1.4G and Nikkor 80-200mm f2.8D ED MK3 lenses.
      Recently, I realized:
      1) the photographer takes the photograph and not the equipment.
      2) fast native glass and native top flash gives a larger increase than the expensive LET EVEN FULL-FRAME carcass.
      It is naive to believe that some Soviet-era Helios, Tair, or Zenitar and other Soviet garbage + puff like the one that makes you a masterpiece in the review) Chinese flashes and Soviet lenses add not quality, but hemorrhoids when processing and shooting.
      Of course, I’m not speaking from an amateur point of view, I make a living from photography and photography is my only occupation, which is probably why I am so obsessed with things that SIMPLY WORK and work out the money invested in them, rather than shaking the nervous system by getting into focus from frame 124.
      Someone wrote here that an amateur needs to learn from SUCH flashes as in this review, here I also disagree, HOW CAN I LEARN on such a city ... ..not ??? (Yes, Arkady will excuse me for the slang) You need to study on top glasses, and carcasses like D90. Then the learning process will be 160 times faster and more interesting, and instead of focusing on Helios for half a day and making adjustments in the Chinese flash, you can devote MORE time to composition, light, and other more useful things in photography. Then, of course, everyone will be indignant, they say NOOOO KAAAK? where does a photo of an amateur get such money ??? To which I will answer: “Yes, photography is an expensive occupation, it has always been, is and will be, and there is no place in it for welders-photographers who magically turn into a PROFESSIONAL wedding photographer on Saturday). For lovers, there are soap dishes within 4 thousand rubles. EVERYTHING! All the others who want to "mow the loot at weddings" prepare wallets and 200 rubles (for a start, laughs).

      • Maksim

        Plus!

      • Gene jb

        No need to drive on Helios and Chinese outbreaks. Here http://ok.ru/sterr/album/461967433828 An example of Helios and the Chinese Vivitar DF-383-can flash. Shot in almost complete darkness. To focus on sharpness, you only need a head, a focusing screen and hands. Half shot on the manual. Simply. Hands and head.

        • Gene jb

          Commerce is commerce. You really can't drive here. For commerce, you need to buy the best. And helios is more artistic.

      • Alexander

        In vain is it so about welders photographers. If there is no mind and no hands from there, then native glass and flashes will not help.

      • Andrei

        It’s not good to think about welders, otherwise they can put the lens in one place and then take good photos.

        • Valery A.

          My dear, it’s a welder, not a proctologist. By the way, is a proctologist-photographer punishable or possible? Valery A., egs 5 digits

          • Alexey

            I completely agree with you, the more you know and know how, the more interesting and freer it is to live. And the statement about “welders - photographers” I regard as fear of competition, the smaller the pie, the more intense the struggle for each piece, because there is not enough for everyone.

  • Ed

    ... got only a fraction of the original's capabilities ...

  • Arkady Shapoval

    Well, while it’s too early for me to write articles on photo art, I confine myself to only a few personal observations and reviews.

  • Anonymous 1

    Cheap counterparts are bad for not limited functionality, which is absolutely true for a low price, but, unfortunately, some instability of the quality of workmanship from one copy to another. Such a "splinter" has happened with the Soviet photo industry. So far, the Chinese have such a disease. But I think it will soon pass with them.

  • Gene jb

    Anyone who wants to try non-original - take a look at Vivitar, a very interesting Chinese quality.

    • Alexander

      When filming was Vivitar 283, the flash is cool.

  • Raised

    It is necessary to compare not from the larger to the smaller, but from the smaller to the larger. Here you have the MK900 and you have it. And now, a year later, you bought the SB 700. Oh God! What stingy thing I have not bought before, there is this, this and this. Cleaaaaa!
    And the other went and bought SB900 without thinking right away (because the loot does not come from their own labor) and a week later melted everything. Asking - on ... me! One earns by photography, and the other is not the end of the world if he is in focus only once. But the family is fed and paid for the apartment. And the soap dish is on the far shelf, because, once at a wedding, the soap dish did not deign to take a photo, because it could not bring focus.
    Different people and different needs. And if a person understood everything himself, on his mistakes and his labor, then the time will come and he will buy the SB900. Maybe soon, maybe not soon.

    • Alexander

      My profession is a photographer. And I collected money for all the equipment with my own labor, the labor of a photographer. And I came to Nikon SB-910 as you said in your mistakes. At first I thought I would get by with a Nikon SB-700 and make some money on it in the open air. But then it turned out, as my grandfather always told me, “Sashaaaa, you can't pull off a srach fart,” and I realized that I needed SB-910 and began to collect on it, and assembled it. Now I understand why it costs so much, and why Arkady considers Nikon's flashes to be works of art, in which I fully support him. And I confirm that the Nikon SB-910 is worth every ruble spent, but you need to take it if you have a major dad (or a bribe taker) and you are an amateur photo, or if you are a freelance photographer and you know that you will beat her off (as I did). In general, you can get cool photos even with Nikon D5100 + Nikkor 35mm f1.8G DX without flash !!!
      Well, for example, these are:
      http://www.pekarskas.com/#!untitled/zoom/c199t/imaged4y
      or are these
      http://www.pekarskas.com/#!untitled/zoom/c199t/image2z2
      and here's another interesting
      http://www.pekarskas.com/#!untitled/zoom/c199t/image1gy4
      all shot on the above specified bunch.
      You just need to be observant, look at the shadows on your face in the viewfinder, turn the model up to the light, sit down and look from a lower angle, evaluate how the photo looked from above and so on, this is much more important than flashes, and that’s what lovers should do, they should be creative on cheap technology so that professionals with D800 blush aside)))
      In general, I recently fell in love with such a bunch of Nikon D5100 + Nikkor 35mm f1.8G DX and more and more often I drag it with me on the street just for such shots as I showed above (without flash, of course)

      • Arkady Shapoval

        Well, I have considerable experience with different flashes :) For information, my colleagues also pushed me to the Nikon 900/910 :)

  • Alexander

    I have never consulted with anyone, because I have NO photographer friends. Yes, I think that it cannot be, because the photographer is the enemy of the photographer! And I always based on a bunch of forums, including English-speaking ones, and only then went to the store and felt both and made a PERSONAL choice. Of course, resources like yours, Arkady, help a lot in choosing this or that technique, and for that, thank you very much for leading and not abandoning this business. And as far as I can see you write reviews SO VERY often and for me it's amazing, amazing how much time you spend on maintaining your site. And it's surprising that sometimes disgruntled people also appear in the comments :) I appeal to everyone who reads these words: “guys, be polite, and say thank you to Arkady for this wonderful site, and instead of trolling and advice, create your own similar resource on which you will present your thoughts OWN. " I advise all amateur photographers not to bother with a TECHNICAL question. Better to try to take an inexpensive camera like the D5100, attach an inexpensive 35mm high-aperture lens to it and train, train, train. Surprisingly, the more I do photography, the more unpretentious I become with the equipment (of course, when it comes to commercial shooting where I have NO right to make mistakes or break any Meike), for example, when I go to shoot something FOR MYSELF in my portfolio, I I don't want to take 80-200mm f2.8 from my backpack at all because it is a brick and when you approach “interesting” passers-by with a request to take a picture of them, they run away from you in different directions shouting “we don’t want to get into the newspaper or on TV ! ”.

    And I also think that the topic of amateurs who “need external flashes” is far-fetched. For example, lately I started thinking before taking a shot. Thinking to photograph with a flash and kill the beauty of real lighting, or try to photograph without a flash and only emphasize the drama of the plot? And more and more often I make a choice in favor of the real light that is already around us and I get such pictures

    and such

    instead of banging the SB-910th and saying that without it, I have to die)
    in amateur photography, you can and do without cost, and sometimes even without flashes :)
    Or at worst, shoot the built-in flash (cobra) and get such a picture

    mind you, the built-in D300s flash in the forehead and what an interesting shot, I bet my clients liked it))) I did not need Meike to take such a shot. All that was needed was to know what the shutter speed, ISO, and aperture, and cobra on the rear curtain)

      Alexander, I do not think this problem is contrived. Fans and indoors want to take pictures and not only still lifes. But stability and accuracy are not as important as in a commercial shoot.
      Regarding the relationship between photographers, this is also extremely surprising to me. Recently I started running, so there is a very, very good attitude to beginners. For instance:
      Photoforum:
      - Well, I bought a DSLR - the photographer thinks, ha ha ha. Buy here….
      Forum about running:
      - did you run for the first time today? We welcome you to our ranks! Keep it up! Just ask, we will always help!

      Notice the difference? On the second forum, no one screams like, bought sneakers and thinks that the athlete :-)

      • Lynx

        Because in order to run, you need to take and run. not everyone will pull.
        and photographs often - bought a DSLR thinks that the photographer. The joke about the incineration plant was not simply invented.

        • Arkady Shapoval

          No, it’s not a joke :)

        • Igor S.

          On the contrary, everything is simple. To be a runner you have to run, a photographer you have to take pictures.

        • Alexander Trekhsotkovich

          I think this happens because in photography there is no certain standard for the beauty of pictures, and every photographer considers their pictures to be unsurpassed (although they can shoot frank slag) someone will shoot without a flash, someone with a flash on the forehead, someone with a flash from the wall, and everyone will say that his result is better, and an argument will begin, as it happens, but in running and sports everything is much simpler, there all achievements are easily measurable, and there are no different ways to achieve the goal, there just “run Forest run”))) Ideally, if you are a photographer, then it is better not to interact with other photographers, otherwise you will lose OWN vision of the frame, and you will become someone's clone, you will take pictures like other photographers. I also consider the master classes to be a complete fool of photographers, and I find it funny when ALL of Russia began to tint photographs in brown and lift the tone curve in the shadows, so that a brown veil would go over the frame. And moreover, each of these “toners” writes on his website “I shoot and process in my individual UNIQUE style” instead of “I process as ALL Russia, but you have to pay me more than the others, because I am“ individual ”))) My talent is unique) And some even boast about it and brag and write on their website “I visited the MK of such a photographer”))) It's all stupid. The photographer should shoot and not listen to ANYONE, shoot ON HIS OWN.

    Recently, I noticed that I do not want to put this healthy ebold on the camera and I direct the light from the built-in flash with my palm. Very good at it.

      The toilet lid is also possible. As you know, the angle of reflection will be equal to the angle of impact.
      (I understand the whole point of offtopic, but in this case ....)

    Arkady, there is such a question.
    I have Sb900 and Sb910, besides this two Nissin622. I use this whole kit through the Yongnuo YN-622N radio synchronizers and the YN-622N-TX transmitter, on the road. Since I often use all this for shooting competitions, I need high-speed sync (FP) and TTL modes, Nissin622 flashes in FP mode do not work, and TTL when working with Yongnuo YN-622N does not work. I decided to replace them. Relatives are of course good, but not really necessary, the choice was between Meike MK910 and Yongnuo YN568EX. The difference in price is not big and does not matter. I'm more interested in TTL accuracy and FP work, since work at short exposures of 1/500 - 1/1000. Of course, I would also like to know their correct docking with Yongnuo YN-622N, but there is more a question for those who work with Yongnuo YN-622N.
    Thank you

  • Stanislas

    Nevertheless, I would like to hear your opinion on what you think is best to choose: Meike MK910 or Yongnuo YN568EX

    • Alexey13rus

      I am also very, very interested in the opinion on the choice between these two flashes performed for Nikon. And according to the difference in price, so “YN-568 (Nikon)” is more expensive on average by 2000-2400 rubles than “MK 910 (Nikon)” (flash execution - for Nikon, as of the beginning of October 2014).
      So, there are users who have had occasion to use one and the other? What is the difference in reality and is it expressed on average in the amount of more than 2000 rubles?

      Yengnou has a floppy cover of the botorium block, it is very fast laminated already 4 ordered on ali express

  • Sergei

    can someone tell me how to turn off the sound on this flash? Strains specifically. And what about the originals?

    • Alexander

      1. Press and hold “OK” to enter the settings menu.
      2. Press the leftmost button (top row of three function buttons) until “beep 1” appears on the display.
      3. Press the rightmost function button (next to the Test button) until the display reads “beep 0”. Cyclic switching.
      4. Click on “OK” to exit the setup menu. Everything! Enjoy the silence!

    • Andrei
