Yongnuo YN968 II Reviews

Great Nikon Substitute strob

By Aaron
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2020-03-01

I've been having some intermittent issues with my Nikon SB-700 strobe. I was quoted $129 cost to repair the unit at a authorized Nikon service center near my home. Rather than spend the money on the repair, I was able to purchase the new Yongnuo YN968NII speedlite, which has proven to be a fabulous unit. I offers a strong GN along with all of the functionality I was able to use in the Nikon unit. HIGHLY recommended.

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.
