In the top right hand corner is the new RF trigger symbol showing the built in radio RX receiver mode is enabled. Looking a little closer at the display there a couple of new additions over the previous MK II model. But its still quite nice, and reasonably easy to see the power levels, which are really the main thing you would be concerned about in general use.
#BATTERY PACK FOR YONGNUO YN 560 III UPDATE#
For me this update alone is enough practical reason to seriously consider the YN-560 III over the original 560 model.Ĭompared to the YongNuo’s current YN-568EX Flagship TTL speedlite, the YN-560 III doesn’t have quite as big a screen, and it is rather more busy. Where the original 560 goes straight into a long shut down if you hit 20 shots continuously, which can be a real problem.

The 560 III will fire 20 full power shots consecutively, and then slow down to a 15 second recycle before you can take 3 more shots consecutively, and then a 15 second break again. One important thing I did note straight away, (at least over the MK I YN-560, I’m not sure about the MK II), is that the overheat protection is much better on this model. Power adjustment range from 1/128th to Full, with 1/3rd or 1/2 stop fine adjustments. With pretty fast recycle times around 2.8 seconds at full power, and 1.2 seconds with an external battery back (for which they have a High Voltage battery port). The YN-560 range of speedlites are full power flashes generally around just 0.2 to 0.3 of a stop lower power than the top end Canon Nikon alternatives. All through the radio receiver already built directly into the YN-560 III flashes.
#BATTERY PACK FOR YONGNUO YN 560 III MANUAL#
UPDATE – 26th June 2014 - YongNuo have now released the YN560-TX, which provides remote manual power control, and remote flash zoom, with the YN-560 III flashes. I say this flash is changing the game, not only due to the practical conveniences mentioned above, but also because its already having an impact on the way people consider their gear and radio trigger selection as well.Īnd furthermore, built in triggering is one thing, but many people are also waiting for remote manual power control in a simple manual flash like this. Or alternatively extra cords (to go wrong) and receivers dangling around.
So all you need is the one small transmitter unit to fire as many flashes as you like. Of course it saves money too without all those extra receivers and batteries.Īnother big advantage is that you don’t have anything mounted to the foot of the flash making it higher in umbrellas and generally less stable. The built in receiver of the YN-560 III has big practical advantages, because you simply don’t have a lot of extra pieces of gear and extra batteries to constantly transport, organise, set up and manage. But that is a relatively high priced full TTL system, where the YN-560 III is just a simple manual flash with a basic receiver (just to fire the flash) built in, and selling from around just $85 (now $70) each.
And for good reason.Ĭanon where basically the first to recently introduce radio based remote triggering into their own speedlite system, which has been extremely successful. This is one flash I really don’t need to talk up, as YongNuo have had are hard time keeping up with demand as it is. All via the radio receiver already built directly into the YN-560 III flashes. UPDATE – 26th June 2014 - YongNuo have now released the YN560-TX tranmitter unit, which provides remote manual power control, and remote flash zoom, with the YN-560 III flashes. Compatible with both the existing and very popular RF-603 II, RF-603 and RF-602 radio triggers. The YN-560 III is the latest version of YongNuo’s flagship manual speeedlite, and its the first all manual speedlite with a radio trigger receiver built in for firing the flash reliably off camera.
