    Bought one years ago for no good reason and...

    Works well, inexpensive. Bang for the buck can't be beat. I'd love to see these with a rechargeable battery integrated instead of AAs but that's just a wish.

    Simply Amazing Quality

    I bought two of these speedlights after seeing Dustin Dolby use them on his Workphlo YouTube product photography lighting tutorial channel. I was immediately intrigued by the fact that these lights have built-in triggers. So, that would mean no more Pocket Wizards dangling from my lights, as great as they are. Totally wireless triggering leaves me free to easily hand-hold the lights if necessary and just makes life easier all around. I used to try velcro-ing or taping the Pocket Wizards to the light stands, which was a bit difficult but it worked OK, but hand-holding required wrangling them as well as the speedlight and the modifier. Now, I'm totally wireless! And I also bought the YN560-TX hot shoe transmitter so I can control flash output, zoom and on/off all from the camera. No more standing on my toes, crouching down or craning my neck trying to see what power I have the speedlights set to during a shoot. It's all right in front of me and I can change it easily. It really saves my back! And the quality of these lights-excellent. Very solid build and smooth action. It looks and feels like a more expensive light. And they work flawlessly. There's a PC connector as well as a power pack receptacle so I can use my BOLT power pack with them. And I do. Awesome. Dustin shows you how to make totally pro images with inexpensive equipment and these YN560-III speedlights are totally pro. And they're so amazingly priced @ $75...the newer YN560-IV is $85, and the TX controller is only $45. I highly recommend this speedlight system if you're looking to get very good equipment that produces excellent results at a lower price point. *Note that I use them for small product photography set-ups in the studio. For situations where you need super-fast recycling times (e.g. shooting weddings) you'll likely need more expensive speedlights that can handle that.

    Asked by: Jie
    Yes, it will work with Leica Q3, you can also use any speed light with Nikon TTL compatibility like https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1801043-REG/westcott_4660_westcott_fj80_se_m_universal.html or https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1403494-REG/godox_v350sn_v350_flash_for_nikon.html or https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1341867-REG/godox_v860ii_f_nikon_kit_v860ii_for_nikon_kit.html

    does this purchase come with the wireless trigger?
    Asked by: Kathryn M.
    Sorry, no. You will need a wireless transmitter like this: Yongnuo YN560-TX II Manual Flash Controller for Canon Cameras B&H # YOYN560TXIIC

    question

    Does this flash work well with a Canon SL1?
    Asked by: Melanie S.
    This flash works well with the Canon Rebel SL1 camera, but keep in mind this is a manual exposure flash, and does not support any TTL communication.

    question

    Is this flash compatible with pocket wizards?
    Asked by: Anonymous
    Yongnuo's radio system will not work with PocketWizard radio system, but if the flash has a built-in PC or sync terminal, you can connect PocketWizard remotes to the flash. If not, then they would need B&H # WIHSFM3 or B&H # IMMHSF1PW to connect the PocketWizard radio remote to the flash. Then it would work like normal.

    Does this flash work on a Sony A7III? That is, integrated into the hot shoe of my Sony camera?
    Asked by: Jenny
    The YN 560III Speedlight is a manual flash, does not support TTL, it only uses center pin - it will work on A7III.

    question

    I see in the overview that there is a socket for the SF-18C or SF-17C external power packs. These have gone out of production and I can't find them anywhere. Is there any other external power pack that is compatible with these flashes?
    Asked by: D F.
    Being that this flash has a high voltage connection similar to those found on Canon speedlites, you could use the Bolt Cyclone PP-310 Compact Power Pack and BO-CZ Canon Flash Cable Kit B&H # BOPP310Q, as an alternative to the discontinued SF-18C and SF-17C battery packs. You would still need AA batteries in the flash to operate functions such as the LCD display. Please see the link below for reference.
