Yongnuo YN968 II Reviews

Didn't work for me.

I got this flash because the Nikon SB-500 AF was discontinued. I tried using it with my Nikon D3200 and I was not happy with it, just didn't work for me. I did find a SB-500, cost much more but works great on my D3200. This Yongnuo may work for you but not for me.

Great System!

I've been using Yongnuo YN685 strobes and controlling them with the YN-622N-TX on my camera's hot shoe, and that has worked great. However, I sometimes find myself needing to add an on-camera flash for fill. The YN968 does both - gives me a TTL fill flash AND serves as the transmitter to control the remote YN685 strobes. I can set the power output of the 685s from the 968. It will get it's first real-world test in a couple weeks, but in testing so far it has been perfect!

Asked by: pat
While this flash can be used on the A6400, the fitment on the shoe would not be as secure. This is due in part to the camera using the proprietary Multi-Interface Shoe. Your results may vary.

Asked by: Maria
Yes, the Yongnuo YN968N II TTL Speedlight for Nikon Cameras is compatible on the Nikon D3500. But the D3500 does not support HSS. So it will not get that function.
