Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Flash works great and doesn't * battery power like some of the brand name flashes. The battery door fit is finicky so you have to move it around a bit to find the niche to close it. It works fully manual mode, which is perfect for me.



Cons

Canon speed lights are mega expensive. I see no reason to buy a yn-560 iii any more. The canon equivalents are too pricey for me right now.

When powering on they sometimes fail to start up. This makes it a total of 6 flashes that have lost output power. Have tried brand new batteries, and see nothimg visably wrong with it. One of them only flashes at full power.

It has no scratches and looks brand new, except for the fact that it does not work at all. When working it's a great setup but less than 2 months of use is not good.
