The controls are slightly more complex than the yn560iii but it's just like anything new with a minor learning curve. I find the YN560TX a little easier to use for changing settings on the remotes, but this product does make the 560TX unnecessary if you are on a tight budget. It fires fine in RX mode with the 560TX or 603 and has access to all 6 groups in both TX and RX modes. Range seems to be similar to others in this series (603, 560tx) and works fine in a mid sized reception hall (haven't tried it in a large hall). It is compatible with the newer yn605 which has group control, but I have not tested this. Output is as good as most other speedlights out there, although I did not test it precisely using a light meter. When in any slave mode (RX, S1, S2) an LED on the front flashes, I find this bit annoying in dark venues and cover it with a piece of black tape which significantly attenuates the brightness.
The battery compartment door seems pretty solid (this was an issue on some earlier Yongnuo speedlights). The 560iv has a port for an external battery pack that should fit Canon compatible packs. Like similar flashes, it has a pull out diffuser and bounce card. The PC port is a traditional threaded style. The head swivels (with detents, but no lock) to the right 90 degrees and to the left 180 degrees, it would be nice if it also swiveled to the right 180. Elevation is from about -5 degrees to 90. The shoe tightener is the screw down style Yongnuo has used for a long time, many people prefer the quick release flip type lock that Canon uses (doesn't matter too much to me). The flash does not have a USB port or obvious way to upgrade firmware. Size is similar to other full sized speedlights such as the 580ex-ii or SB900, and is exactly the same size as the YN560iii. The main display is back lit, but the buttons are not.
It comes packaged with a small stand like most other flashes in this price range or higher, as well as a decent quality pouch, and some instructions that while not great, are understandable.
This series (560iii, 560IV, 603, 605) is the best bang for the buck on the market right now (late 2014) for manual speedlights. The cost difference between the model iii and iv is minimal making the iii somewhat obsolete so if you are just putting together a new setup, I suggest going straight for the 560iv. Of the competition I considered, the Godox V850 has the advantage of battery life over this (and pretty much every other speedlight out there), but it requires an external RX dongle that falls off easily, doesn't have a built in transmitter, has poor remote range, and more a limited remote feature set than the 560TX or the 560IV in TX mode.
For a minimal investment one can have a complete on camera/off camera manual system (sans modifiers) that works quite reliably. And if you want to incorporate some monolights into your setup, the YN605 is a great option which enables you to selectivity enable/disable certain groups from remote.
I will try to answer any questions left in the comments. Like this review if it was helpful to you.
First of all I have used Canon Speedlights in the past, still own a 430EX that sits in a box and collects dust.
I really don't like using ETTL as I find it rarely gives me the kind of exposure I like in my photo's. I personally feel it looks flat and unprofessional so this review will be based on manual functions. This unit doesn't have a TTL function anyway so... on to the review.
I have been using Yongnuo flashes for about 3 years now and I honestly have no gripes. None at all. Especially now that I've upgraded to the IV models and get the added wireless functionality built in.
I dropped a 560III model about 4 feet onto the concrete a couple years back and the bottom of it broke off. It actually kept working for a full 2 hour shoot after that before it blew out completely. Probably due to some shorts after wires coming loose. But that just speaks to the durability of the Flash.
Here's the thing, at this price, I was not upset. I dropped a Speedlight onto the concrete, watched a chunk of it fly off and thought, "Darn... well I guess I need to buy another."
Try having that mentality with a Canon or Nikkon Speedlight.
I take these hiking, out on major event shoots where I'm running around bumping into stuff, sometimes outside and getting rained on etc. etc.
I never worry about breaking one because I know I can afford to grab another. It's a freeing feeling. I worry enough about my camera and my lenses as it is.
Here's the other reason I love these.
While I have a master controller for my speed lights, I prefer to use my flash in manual mode even when it's attached to my camera or on a trigger. On the Canon speed lights switching power while in manual mode takes a few extra clicks and requires you to depress the tiny center button first to let the unit know you want to start changing power level. It drives me a bit crazy now that I'm used to these.
With the Yongnuo in manual mode, you just click one side or the other on the interface and your power level changes by standard stops. Click up or down to change power in smaller increments.
I can get the exposure I want so quickly with these now that I really don't understand why Canon chose to design theirs differently.
The wireless works well with the YN560-TX master controller though my shutter speed needs to drop to about 160 to avoid shutter shadow.
They work flawlessly with the RF-603CII-C1 triggers.
The power is also definitely up to par. Just one of these is enough to light up a medium-sized room with some bounced light.
I have 3 (still less $$ than 1 canon) and dial them in at different levels for a better effect but have gotten by with 2 in very large rooms and been happy with my results.
I've used them on both a t2i, t3i and a 6D and have friends who use them with 5D MarkIII's and love them just as much.
If I had to pick one thing I don't like... I guess that they heat up and delay quickly. If you are firing off shot after shot the batteries get hot quick and the unit will force a delay until they cool down. You can attach an external power pack to eliminate the problem but I have learned to just work around it. I'm a bit more intentional with my shots anyway so I'm not one to just blast away, spray and pray style.
I'd say I can get about 8 minutes of continuous shooting, full power, at maybe a shot per second before I start experiencing delays.
You should also consider the speed, if you need to shoot at High Speeds like 250+ then these will not work. If you're using a controller you may even need to drop down to 160.
Beyond that, no issues.
Again, if you like automatic exposure and using the TTL or ETTL functions then this is obviously not for you since it doesn't offer that functionality at all. But if you use manual adjustments with your speed lights or you use a master controller then these are not only up to the job but they are incredibly affordable meaning you can have multiple flash units on standby if one gets broken.
Really can't recommend them enough. I've bought 5 so far, broke one 560III and gave the other away once I got my IV's.
I plan to buy a few more as backup and can happily say that I feel confident in my purchase.
This has all the features I was looking for, works great and is pretty easy to use. I have it on a Nikon D3300 body, so haven't tried daisy chaining the flash or remotely using it on the stand, which is pretty stable. The stand is also threaded to fit on a tripod, but it's a plastic thread so might not be to durable. I also shoot mostly in full manual mode, mainly because I use vintage Pentax/Mamiya lenses so don't have the option of full automatic and it's easy enough to use this way.
It's not the fastest flash or has the longest range, but for the money, it's pretty decent. Really easy to bounce the light off the ceiling to get nice indoor shots. Has a pull out diffuser and white bounce card. Doesn't include batteries, but I'm using regular alkaline AA which is working well.
It's fairly heavy, but no more than most of this size which has a fair amount of movement, which allows you to shoot portrait as well as landscape.
The case is lightly madded and fits nicely. It would have been nice to have had a belt loop type thing to make it easier to tether into a camera bag strap.
The instructions, has a few flaws in the English, but is decent enough to work your way through.
Definitely recommend the flash if you're not a pro and want something better than a built in flash and don't have the budget for a highend piece or something that'll only occasionally be used.

Es bastante sencillo de utilizar (con solo trastearlo un poco ya entiendes como funciona). Yo lo compre para un camara canon D200 y funciona perfectamente. Este flash va con 4 baterias AA. Ademas puedes cambiar el angulo del flash en 2 ejes. Tambien si compras otro accesorio lo puedes utilizar como flash remoto, es una opcion interesante segun el uso que le quieras dar.
Creo que el producto esta bastante bien tanto principiantes como para un uso mas profesional, y su relacion calidad precio esta bastante aceptable.
Si te fue util este comentario dale clic en "util". Hasta la proxima!
Lo he probado con una Nikon D5500 y cero problemas al momento.
Semble costaud même si tout en plastique.
J'aurais aimé avoir la possibilité de le mettre en 1/250 mais on est limité a 1/125 max. La rotation de la tête semble costaud aussi donc pas de soucis pour mettre des accessoires assez lourds sur la tête du flash.
Now for a more technical review, the build quality is better than what I expected. The buttons and display are quite good. The flash at 1/1 power is more than sufficient for most use.
Comes with a stand and I tried this off camera with my nikon d5200, only way to trigger it is through the optical slave mode which is great since i don't own any wireless trigger. S1 for manual flash and S2 when you have TTL flash mode on your camera(for nikon). PLEASE NOTE that this is a manual flash( You need to manually set the flash power, if your like me and have little idea about it, you need to fire few rounds to get the proper exposure). The multi flash mode is a welcome feature that I didnt see on other cheap models.
One of the biggest reason why I wound recommend this to anyone is mainly the price obviously and second- this has a built in transmitter and reciever which can be used with other yongnuo flashes so even if you upgrade your arsenal, this might find a use someday or the other.
Batteries are not included and I purchased the flash from CAMSHOP, good packaging, quick delivery. Comes with a stand and a pouch.
Update- I dropped it accidentally on a hard tile floor from head head and the batteries came flying out but the flash is 100% working, the metal mount was bent. So yes. Its a sturdy product.
