Outstanding review. I like that you've taken such a methodical approach to explaining the feature sets. I purchased the Mark III models recently and have been enjoying them with the triggers, but this is fantastic news. They're so inexpensive, I might just buy 3 new Mark IV models and keep the IIIs for backups.
Thank you for the fast reply. I'm going to look for the setting. I just received my two flashes today. I bought them based on your reviews. I'm very new to photography. My wife and I are learning together. We even got matching his/her D7100, lol
That's fantastic! The D7100 should serve you both a fairly long way :) I bet it's going to be great fun for the both of you to learn photography together :)
Awesome Review! thanks for the great breakdown! One thing, if I may suggest, to make your next video easier to watch would be to drop the "full name" after you already introduced the item, for example after saying once: "560 Mark Three" just say "Mark Three" to avoid a ton repetition. And thanks again for the review!
+ZY Productions is there a delay when pressing the shuttter release on the camera. I want to purchase 3 of these and i need tol know if there is a delay
Thank you for let me know all this details for the yn 560 series.I have build a system with yn560tx yn560iii and yn560iv that help me a lot with my photography. Keep up this good work......
Great video. I have 3 YN 560iii units but I wanted a backup for a few upcoming jobs and more lights can only help. Good refresh on setting up. Silly how they cut out the other 3 channel control the Tx provides. Oh well.
The reason it will not reset the slave flash from hot-shoe signal is you may need to use lower or higher settings on the slave flash from time to time.. then you can re sync after the custom shot settings..
Hey, good stuff. Not sure if anyone has told you though, you slipped up a bit. At 4:40 you mistakenly said to press the "Mode"+"Function" buttons in order to activate, when you should have said "Mode+"Activate" buttons. It had me confused for a second. When I actually did just that, there's a different function that it activates, and now I have to look that up because I've no idea of what it actually did. Just FYI. Otherwise, thanks for the video. D
ATG & Yongnuo will be hurting Profoto B1, Phottix Indra500, Godox Witstros AD360, Qauntum Trio. Your video reviews is good that many are confused that they will need to watch it 6 times. Buy this flash is the best bang for buck over other flashes & still control settings by radio. ATG/Yongnuo are so good that B&H Photo is selling it. 10 flashes for only $700.00. or 5 flashes for only $350.00. Awesome baby power lighting control instead of just one light from those above mentioned.
Is it possible if you can do a video of how to set up the IV with the camera straight? I find it pretty complicated as I've never used a speedlite before.
I watched the video. But from what i see, it appears as though the transmitter flash unit can only send out the same output to the reciever flash unit. I can't say, have transmitter on 1/2 output and have the reciever as say...1/8 output?
I have canon 70d an just bought youngnuo 560 iv.would like to use as master speed light.please tell me how to set up the camera and the speed light,to work together. thanks.
I have the YN-560 III. I want to buy a flash that have TTL what will work as TX to the YN-560 III just like the YN-560 IV. Please me me choose. Thanks!
hello, I had the 560IV and the 568exII as a kit, but the latter after years of honorable service since yesterday has decided to always and only shoot at full power! well what to say after 5 years to the whip there is that spring ... waiting to take the 685 I can not explain why with a trigger rf603 on 5dmk3 I can not flash the 560IV without external trigger! should have integrated it and also changing the channels (obviously equal between flash and trigger) nothing does not want to know! am I wrong?
I just saw a video,showing a problem with YN 560 IV,that when it set to triger to 105,flash fires only once,u cannot fire more than once ?is there a problem,I myself tried and found the same problem
Can anyone tell me how ( if its possible) to get the battery life symbol onto the screen ive four 560iv and its a pain changing batteries that i may not have too thank you
I have two 560-IV flashes and I've set one to TX and the other RX with both on the same channel in the same group. I can't get the RX to flash. I've searched all over and can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions?
well I have the 568 ex and 2 622c triggers tranceivers, and Im wanna buy the yn 560 IV to fire it as a slave flash, do I need to buy another 622c trigger transceiver to make it work?
This is going to be a very obvious question - please keep in mind I would be using this with the Fuji X series system. If I purchased three of the Y IV flashes - can I have one ON camera that will fire normally from the hot shoe as a bounce flash, but will also radio control 2 other flashes around a room?. This is for a wedding situation. Thanks!
Thanks, love your videos! I just bought the YN560IV. I own the Canon 100D and when I placed the flash on my camera I am getting the message that it is incompatible with the camera. I bought the Canon version. Am I doing something wrong?
So I want to use one 560 IV as a slave in a softbox while using another 560 IV as master on my camera. Am I able to change the flash values so they are different from each other when i take a picture. E.g. the softbox flash is less intense as its closer to the subject while the on-camera flash is stronger because its further away. Am I able to turn off the camera flash If I just want to use the external flash? Great video by the way. Chock full of information. Thanks!
Is it compatible with Nikon D5200? Also what about YONGNUO YN560 TX and YN560 III. I want to use flash off camera, so can you please suggest me what should I buy which is not much expensive? Thanks in advance.
Great review, I was wondering if you have any idea how the power save mode works as I noticed in the previous versions they still turn off after 60 mins , I was wondering if that is the same in this version or if you can set it so it does not turn Great review, I was wondering if you have any idea how the power save mode works as I noticed in the previous versions they still turn off after 60 mins , I was wondering if that is the same in this version or if you can set it so it does not turn off till the batteries run out.
So where in the menu does it control the actual flash head of the Mk IV? And how easy or quick is it to change settings/deactivate that flash or other groups? Can it easily be done on the fly in a quickly changing event like a wedding?
The actual flash of the Mk IV itself if controlled when the groups show "--". To deactivate other groups its fairly simple, but it is a few clicks away. It can be done on the fly but it will slow you down a little.
Has anyone experienced the issue with the 560 iii and 560 iv which is specifically the, "stuck at full power"? Any solution? does it have any effect with yhe type of battery one is using?
Great video mate!!! Very much appreciated!!! I wish to buy YN 560 IV within a couple of days but I have a question. I currently own a Nikon D7200 and my question is can I fire this flash in slave mode using my camera's in built flash as a commander? If yes, then would you please be kind enough to explain me how it's done or guide me to a link where I can find answer to my query? Keep the good work going!!! Thanks!!!
As far as I have figured out on the net it could be just some kind of marker, to identify the Speedlites in a group. But that doesn't make much sense from a practical point of view. Another idea of mine is, that it could be some kind of a tiny delay in triggering , so that the flashes of one group don't fire up all at once (leaving the model with a more comfortable amount of light simultaneously).
I wasn't able to find any info on this: Is it possible to remotely trigger the external flash in multi mode? Another question: Would I be able to trigger the YN-560 IV with a YN-568ex II?
Would 2 of these be good for interior photography ? Also what shoe mount would work on the camera body to fire the flashes ? I have the SONY A77 Mark 2? Please help I'm new at this. Thank you
Awesome review! I have a query. I own a YN-560 iii and a YN-603N (ii) trigger. Planning to buy a YN-560 iv. I want make a setup as 560 iv (As master) will trigger the 560 iii (As slave) WHERE 560 iv will be OFF-CAMERA communicated via YN-603N trigger with my camera. Is it all right or I am making a mistake? Thanks in advance.
I have one 560 IV on top of my camera in TX mode, and another one remotely in RX mode. Sometimes I only want to use the flash on my camera to operate as a controller for the off-camera flash, without actually firing itself. What settings do I use to control the remote flash, but without the 560 IV on the camera flashing itself? Even though I put it in TX mode to control the remote flash, it always fires even when I don't want it to.
since the price is now the same (around U$ 70) , is it better to have 2 units of the mark IV, or one mark III and one mark IV? another question: can you please tell me if there is a possibility to fire another camera using some receiver, to fire at the same time that I have pressed the shutter of a first camera? i want to have two pictures of a same situation. but from different angles.
Uanderson Brittes Well like you said, since the price of the III and IV are almost the same, might as well go for both Mark IV's. And yes, all you have to do is really just connect the remote shutter release ports of both cameras together (as in plug one end of the cable into camera A, and the other end into camera B). After that the shutter releases of both cameras should be synchronized. If you're talking about doing this wirelessly I don't really know of a system that can do this yet, but im sure its entirely possible, as long as theres some sort of system that can transmit the trigger signal over the air.
I don't understand one thing: If i use this flash, would i need another Yongnuo wireless popper or this flash already has a integrated radio receiver (So i would only need a Tx popper on the camera) ?
I don't want to have a flash mounted to my camera, therefore I am purchasing a 560TX trigger. I want the full control of my flashes (power) from my TX trigger, so my question is do you recommend the IV's or III's. Not sure if there are any differences if I'm using them with my 560TX trigger.
I have a Yongnou 560 IV . Tried the slave mode with my 600d Canon. Using the Canon Built in Flash to trigger the Yongnuo off camera flash. Seems like When I try the off camera flash. Put the Yongnuo to the side of the subject. .. Increase the shutter speed to 120 ms of the camera, seems like the Shutter Takes a shot first and then the Yongnuo flash activates and flashes. Seems like there is delay on the flash. Picture is Dark like ther is no flash ? But the Flash Fires up. Does this happen also on the Wireless transmitters of Yongnuo like the RC603 C with the YOngnuo 560 IV ? Pls help.
only suggestion is to stop repeating 560. we know it is all 560. mark 3, mark 4 and tx
😂😂
Just to make sure, this review was about the 560 mark 4? :)
Outstanding review. I like that you've taken such a methodical approach to explaining the feature sets. I purchased the Mark III models recently and have been enjoying them with the triggers, but this is fantastic news. They're so inexpensive, I might just buy 3 new Mark IV models and keep the IIIs for backups.
Thank you for the fast reply. I'm going to look for the setting. I just received my two flashes today. I bought them based on your reviews. I'm very new to photography. My wife and I are learning together. We even got matching his/her D7100, lol
That's fantastic! The D7100 should serve you both a fairly long way :) I bet it's going to be great fun for the both of you to learn photography together :)
Awesome Review! thanks for the great breakdown!
One thing, if I may suggest, to make your next video easier to watch would be to drop the "full name" after you already introduced the item, for example after saying once: "560 Mark Three" just say "Mark Three" to avoid a ton repetition.
And thanks again for the review!
+Nikita Gaidouk Thanks for the feedback :)
+ZY Productions is there a delay when pressing the shuttter release on the camera. I want to purchase 3 of these and i need tol know if there is a delay
Well explained thank you!! Just bought the mark III. Don't need the features of mark IV atm :)
a very clear and comprehensive review - well done
This video answered a lot of questions I had. Definitely buying one!! Thanks!!
Always thorough!!! love your reviews man!!
Thanks for the great and in-depth review!
It answered a lot of my questions!
Dude, this review is awesome, is so complete and very usefull. Thank you very much
Very good review. Tons of information and straight to the point.
Thank you for let me know all this details for the yn 560 series.I have build a system with yn560tx yn560iii and yn560iv that help me a lot with my photography. Keep up this good work......
Great video. I have 3 YN 560iii units but I wanted a backup for a few upcoming jobs and more lights can only help. Good refresh on setting up. Silly how they cut out the other 3 channel control the Tx provides. Oh well.
Nice tutorial. This is what i really need to understand my 560 iv
Not only a good review but also an excellent tutorial on setting up and using this flash with YN560IIIs.Thanks.
No very confusing mixing all kinds flash. Shoul onlu be 1 ONE rewiev.
i have a poblem plz help me why pilot red light colour change to blue light colour
can i used for high speed sync ?
What is the # after the Group for? You can set, for example, A1, A2 or A3. The number doesn't do anything. Why is that even on the flash??
The reason it will not reset the slave flash from hot-shoe signal is you may need to use lower or higher settings on the slave flash from time to time.. then you can re sync after the custom shot settings..
Thank you very much!
So clear explanation, I will buy one yn560iv!!!
Any idea how to set highspeed sync on this thing, can't find it anywhere ?
thanks ! appreciate the help :)
Haha ya thats why i went with yn i have a canon it was $400 bucks lol
Great video. Very informational and rich in knowledge.

Do you know if there a way to turn off the slave mode indicator light?
I don't think it'd be possible without a bit of hardware hacking, but you can try putting black tape over it, just be careful not to cover the sensor.
im using canon 550d.. does it compatible?
I have Polaroid extension tube without autofocus, will the flash work with it???
ATG & Yongnuo will be hurting Profoto B1, Phottix Indra500, Godox Witstros AD360, Qauntum Trio.
Your video reviews is good that many are confused that they will need to watch it 6 times.
Buy this flash is the best bang for buck over other flashes & still control settings by radio.
ATG/Yongnuo are so good that B&H Photo is selling it.
10 flashes for only $700.00.
or 5 flashes for only $350.00.

though the transmitter flash unit can only send out the same output to
the reciever flash unit. I can't say, have transmitter on 1/2 output
and have the reciever as say...1/8 output?
does it have the autofocus beam to autofocus in the dark or shoot in low light environment? ??
Is it true to say the higher the number, the better the flash in the Yongnuo range?
thanks for your informative video. If I want to use the Mk IV as an off flash, should I get the TX?
Please Tell Me If I Use YN 560 iv On 1/1 Power
How Much Will It take to recharge for another flash fire
Please Reply
Can you get flash diffusers for these flashes?
Does this have laser beam for focusing in low light?
does it work as a slave flash with the pop up flash in nikon d7100 set as commander?
You are best on what you do... More power to you!!!!
Hi, how is the yn565 iii vs this 560IV ?

@ZY productions How do i set up flash on my canon 70d hot shoe
I decided to order the mark iv and the 560 tx would this be a good setup to have for off camera shooting? i plan on ordering one other 560 iv
very useful review .what is the max sync speed for this flash (of camera }
+Dhiraj Firodiya Max sync speed will depend on your camera's specifications, not the flash.
Thanks, love your videos! I just bought the YN560IV. I own the Canon 100D and when I placed the flash on my camera I am getting the message that it is incompatible with the camera. I bought the Canon version. Am I doing something wrong?
Hello, can you use the flash YN560 IV with the shutter YN 622 C ?
And how Can I get a laser beam for focusing in the dark with the yongnuo 560 II? Is there a special transmitter that has a laser built in?
So I want to use one 560 IV as a slave in a softbox while using another 560 IV as master on my camera.
Am I able to change the flash values so they are different from each other when i take a picture. E.g. the softbox flash is less intense as its closer to the subject while the on-camera flash is stronger because its further away.
Am I able to turn off the camera flash If I just want to use the external flash?
Great video by the way. Chock full of information. Thanks!
Never mind, four seconds after writing this comment the part of the video where you explain how to shoot at different values came up.
I can't find any info or videos explaining the multiflash function. Could you explain how to use that function?
can it speed sync ....? 1/800 second ?
this is good option for Canon700D (like only one lamp)?
will this flash work with the Cowboystudio NPT 04 wireless trigger?
hi. does yn560 IV and a yn622ntx works together. if not whats the best way you recommend?
thank you.
How can I use the 550 IV to trigger the 550 III without the flash on the 550 IV going off?
+Cilene Bosch Turn it off on your camera - disable flash
Is it compatible with Nikon D5200? Also what about YONGNUO YN560 TX and YN560 III.

my 560iv stuck at full power no mater various setting I applied.. how to fix it?
Hi anyone know howto synk the hertz one of my 560 111 shows 40x100 and one shows 1x100 on this one i cant set the group
hi. Works in a Panasonic fz1000?
So where in the menu does it control the actual flash head of the Mk IV? And how easy or quick is it to change settings/deactivate that flash or other groups? Can it easily be done on the fly in a quickly changing event like a wedding?
The actual flash of the Mk IV itself if controlled when the groups show "--". To deactivate other groups its fairly simple, but it is a few clicks away. It can be done on the fly but it will slow you down a little.
how dose it work with Nikon d3300????
will the multi flash feature work on my canon 80d ? :D ?
YN560 IV its compatible to my nikon d7200 tnx
Has anyone experienced the issue with the 560 iii and 560 iv which is specifically the, "stuck at full power"?
Any solution? does it have any effect with yhe type of battery one is using?
Hi, should I go for the YN600EX-RT as it supports ETTL? The YN560IV is a bit cheaper though, thoughts?
on YN flash's do any of them have HSS (high speed sync)?
Only the TTL ones.
Im trying to figure out if the 560 IV has infrared AF grid? My YN 565EX used to have it.
Does this flash throws this red light that helps to focus ?
+Metal FilL Nope, this does not have that.
how can you do HiSync on this flash?
When a YN560 IV is in the RX slave mode, does it fire when triggered via the PC sync port or via the hotshoe?
May sound strange, but can the 560 IV on the camera act as a trigger to 602 or 603 with another flash on them? You said it works the other way around.
Ante Šušnjar Koko Yes.
Did this flash support Nikon D5300 I'm in serious nervous about it. Please reply.
Great video mate!!! Very much appreciated!!! I wish to buy YN 560 IV within a couple of days but I have a question. I currently own a Nikon D7200 and my question is can I fire this flash in slave mode using my camera's in built flash as a commander? If yes, then would you please be kind enough to explain me how it's done or guide me to a link where I can find answer to my query? Keep the good work going!!! Thanks!!!
Hi! I have YN600ex rt II. Can I link it with YN560 wirelessly, so that 560 is slave?
my 560iv stuck at full power no mater various settings I applied..
how to fix it? thanks
Does the YN 560 lV work on olympus M1
Have you figured out, why in RX mode you can select "subgroups" with the right and left key, e.g. group A1-A3 or F1-F3?
I have not looked into that yet, I should give it a shot!
As far as I have figured out on the net it could be just some kind of marker, to identify the Speedlites in a group. But that doesn't make much sense from a practical point of view. Another idea of mine is, that it could be some kind of a tiny delay in triggering , so that the flashes of one group don't fire up all at once (leaving the model with a more comfortable amount of light simultaneously).
I wasn't able to find any info on this:
Is it possible to remotely trigger the external flash in multi mode?
Another question:
Would I be able to trigger the YN-560 IV with a YN-568ex II?
Yes, the remote triggering works in multi mode.
Regarding the 568ex, it will only trigger it in optical slave mode.
Thank you!
ZY Productions w
If I have the mkiv on the camera can the tx trigger the camera?
Unfortunately nope, you'll need a Tx or a 603 on the camera (with the release cable) and trigger it with another 603.
Would 2 of these be good for interior photography ? Also what shoe mount would work on the camera body to fire the flashes ? I have the SONY A77 Mark 2? Please help I'm new at this.
Thank you
Awesome review!
I have a query. I own a YN-560 iii and a YN-603N (ii) trigger. Planning to buy a YN-560 iv. I want make a setup as 560 iv (As master) will trigger the 560 iii (As slave) WHERE 560 iv will be OFF-CAMERA communicated via YN-603N trigger with my camera. Is it all right or I am making a mistake? Thanks in advance.
I have one 560 IV on top of my camera in TX mode, and another one remotely in RX mode. Sometimes I only want to use the flash on my camera to operate as a controller for the off-camera flash, without actually firing itself. What settings do I use to control the remote flash, but without the 560 IV on the camera flashing itself? Even though I put it in TX mode to control the remote flash, it always fires even when I don't want it to.
Set the Group to -- and then press MODE until it displays as --.
since the price is now the same (around U$ 70) , is it better to have 2 units of the mark IV, or one mark III and one mark IV?
another question: can you please tell me if there is a possibility to fire another camera using some receiver, to fire at the same time that I have pressed the shutter of a first camera? i want to have two pictures of a same situation. but from different angles.
Uanderson Brittes Well like you said, since the price of the III and IV are almost the same, might as well go for both Mark IV's.
And yes, all you have to do is really just connect the remote shutter release ports of both cameras together (as in plug one end of the cable into camera A, and the other end into camera B).

I don't understand one thing: If i use this flash, would i need another Yongnuo wireless popper or this flash already has a integrated radio receiver (So i would only need a Tx popper on the camera) ?
merasanam You'll only need a Tx trigger. The flash has the Rx built in.
I don't want to have a flash mounted to my camera, therefore I am purchasing a 560TX trigger. I want the full control of my flashes (power) from my TX trigger, so my question is do you recommend the IV's or III's. Not sure if there are any differences if I'm using them with my 560TX trigger.
Louie Torres If you wont be needing a flash with a built-in transmitter, then the III's.
I have a Yongnou 560 IV . Tried the slave mode with my 600d Canon. Using the Canon Built in Flash to trigger the Yongnuo off camera flash.
Seems like When I try the off camera flash. Put the Yongnuo to the side of the subject. .. Increase the shutter speed to 120 ms of the camera, seems like the Shutter Takes a shot first and then the Yongnuo flash activates and flashes. Seems like there is delay on the flash. Picture is Dark like ther is no flash ? But the Flash Fires up.
Does this happen also on the Wireless transmitters of Yongnuo like the RC603 C with the YOngnuo 560 IV ?
Pls help.
+Brian Smith i Think it will be work (RC603 C3 suport TTL function)
