only suggestion is to stop repeating 560. we know it is all 560. mark 3, mark 4 and tx
😂😂
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
Just to make sure, this review was about the 560 mark 4? :)
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 :)
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.
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.
Well explained thank you!! Just bought the mark III. Don't need the features of mark IV atm :)
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.
@Rogers, this flash does not have TTL.
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......
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.
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..
Hello,
1. Are you able to trigger the YN 560IV with the EOS 70D's pop-up flash?
2. If YES to the above, are you able to adjust the flash power via the on-body menu?
1. Yes, only via optical slave.
2. No.
Thank you very much!
So clear explanation, I will buy one yn560iv!!!
Dude, this review is awesome, is so complete and very usefull. Thank you very much
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.
Thanks for the great and in-depth review!
It answered a lot of my questions!
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??
a very clear and comprehensive review - well done
This video answered a lot of questions I had. Definitely buying one!! Thanks!!
You are best on what you do... More power to you!!!!
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
Nice tutorial. This is what i really need to understand my 560 iv
Very good review. Tons of information and straight to the point.
Always thorough!!! love your reviews man!!
Hey, great Video.
But how can i change the flash time? YN says the 560IV has a flash time between 200-20000 but how can i change it?
Thanks for your help!
Can someone help me, I just got my YN560-TX along with a YN560-IV, and I am not able at all to have them talk to each other in anyway. are my units defective or what. I have put all the same channels tried diffrent channels and groups synced on both but nothing. any pointers?
Life Kommando Is your 560 IV in Rx mode? 560Tx and 560IV should work out of the box. If it still doesn't work, you might have a defective unit.
ZY Productions I thought I deleted the comment when I remembered I put not so full battery. :) So I put new battery and its all good now
It works now with the trigger and my canon 30d lol
Now I gotta make it work with my A6000 =p
Thanks
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!!!
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
this is good option for Canon700D (like only one lamp)?
Great video. Very informational and rich in knowledge.
Thanks for your review. I had a question about the III and IV AF-assist beam. Do these actually have an AF-assist beam? Is it a beam matrix as it is in the 468II for example or is it just a red led? How does it work on the hot shoe? Does it turn on when you half press the shutter (I'm guessing no since there is only one pin?)
Thank you for the awesome review!!!
Questions: Can I use the Mark IV on top of the 622?
When you activate the 560 III to work in groups does that negate its ability to work with the rf 603 or does the rf 603 even care? In other words, is there a drawback to activating the 560 III?
BogusIndustries Nope, not at all. It will still work just fine with the 603. There are no downsides to activating your 560 III.
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.
I currently own two YN-560 III and a YN-560 TX. Is it easy two incorporate the IV into this setup? Particularly, I'm curious to know if you can easily swap the TX for the IV as transmitter, so that if you want to alternate between having the IV on and off camera, you just switch between TX mode and receiver mode on the IV? So that if I have the IV in group A, one 560 III in group B and one in group C, the only difference will be whether the IV acts as master or slave?
The IV will fit in perfectly with a bunch of III's and a Tx. The IV has an extra Tx mode. When Tx mode is selected on the IV, the IV will function as a master and WILL NOT respond to any trigger signals from another transmitter. The IV will only function as a slave flash when Rx mode is selected. When the IV is a slave unit, it will not transmit any trigger signals. And yes, you can alternate between the Tx and the IV just like that, no re-pairing or reconfig needed.
ZY Productions Excellent! Thank you very much for the quick reply!
ZY Productions If I have a RF-603II attached to the YN-560IV (in Tx mode). Can't I trigger the YN-560IV using another RF-603II?
Jefferson Sofarelli Yes, you can.
you just can say old flash and new one, because from the beginning of this video you already mentioned that this product belongs to Yongnuo company and this is a review of the new version of their flash
Great review, Thanks!
Question: I'm planning to use a triple flash adapter(1 yongnou 560 III / 2 yongnou 560 IV) Should I anticipate any problems in the settings with the 2 yongnou IVs? Obviously, one of the IVs will be the master. Any advice?
Hi, great review. I have a question for you. It is possible to use the Yongnuo 560IV on a Fujifilm X-E1 on TTL mode or this Flash does not have TTL mode? Thank you for your answer.
hi! i have a problemas. I have syncronized my 560 IV with the 560 III but when I shot the 560 IV doesnt lights! Do you know why?
Because the mark iv logo is blue and there's no hyphen.
Great job! Super helpful. One question, Can you change the channels of the flashes remotely as well? I'd like to be able to modify the flash set up on the go, from let's say to remote flashes to three, or four. Is it possible from the master flash or do you need to physically walk to each to change the channel?
EXCELLANT REVIEW. IM HOOKED TO YOUR CHANNEL. AAA++++
THANK YOU
Hi, should I go for the YN600EX-RT as it supports ETTL? The YN560IV is a bit cheaper though, thoughts?
Does this flash support high speed sync?
No.....The 600RT system does...I have both...
+ZY Productions Please do more videos on the YN560IV and working tutorials on it..
Thanks for your great review!
Can the 560 IV be set to only fire the Rx flash (560 III) without firing the 560 IV itself?
bigslim750 Yes, it can.
im using canon 550d.. does it compatible?
Good day
Can i use my Yongnuo 560 iv to trigger a Yongnuo 560 iii without the Yongnuo 560 iv flash light going off? I am deciding whether i should buy another Yongnuo 560 iii or a Yongnuo 560 tx.
+Emile van Rensburg Yes, that is possible.
thanks. I had the same question...but how do you do that? what's the process like to achieve that?
I did try it ***** and it worked. But i haven't done it since last year so i cannot remember how because i bought the tx, mainly because i had extra money, not because i needed to. I think i found a video on UA-cam or an article on how to do it. I remember it was super easy.
Emile van Rensburg wow. awesome. hope I can get to find the video/article as well....I am in that sticky spot where I am debating whether to get the tx or get another 560iv :(
its good that you can change the setting of the other flashes independently in case you want different power outputs. ill probably get 3 of these!!! XD
the way I am figuring the settings being changed on a remote flash, it is a single flash in a group. it is not a master. the master has the settings for the group, which can be more than just the one remote. so the master won't show the settings for s single remote, when other remotes on that channel may have the master setting or even different settings. and if each remote on a channel had different settings, what is the master supposed to show?
so think of it as a single override of a group setting for a single remote and the pilot just puts them all back into sync with the settings from the master.
no, i am not associated with the company, but that is how it seems to me.
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?
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!
Yes, that will work.
Great stuff here! 1 question: If i were to get either the YN 560 IV or the YN 600 EX-RT. Which one would you recommend and why? Thnx so much!
They are really quote different. The 560 range is designed to be used off camera pretty much exclusively. The 600 is more like a replica of the canon flash so it does HSS, E-TTL and all that other stuff and works ON the camera properly. So, that's why it's more expensive.
I know this was an old question but I just thought I'd comment in case anyone else was wondering. Seems to be a lot of confusion around the yongnuo range.
Hi, i hope you can help me with this question. I have one yongnuo 560 iv unit and a 560TX transmitter, but i would like to sell my transmitter to instead buy another flash unit to trigger my off camera flash unit. Can i independantly fire my off unit while firing my on camera unit at a different output? I'm wondering because if i have my on camera unit set to the transmitter mode to adjust my off unit, how can i possibly be adjusting my camera unit at the same time? Is it possible? thanks, Patrick
Very helpful, thank you!
I have one Yongnuo 560 IV flash on my camera as my master and a secondary 560 IV in a softbox. Is it possible to turn off the the onboard flash and only have the secondary flash go off?
I've tried pretty much every combination of settings and I can make the slave and master fire, or only the master, but never just the slave!
Any input or suggestions would be appreciated.
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?
I bought 2 of these. Both, within 2 weeks only shoot in full power, then shut off. A huge disappointment. It was very convenient to control these from the 560 TX. I've kind of lost trust with this company. How many do I need to buy that will work for a long time?
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.
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.
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.
Hi
am planning of getting two IVs and am using a Nikon D90. If I want to use an RF603N, should I get 2 triggers if I want to use both speedlites off camera?
When a YN560 IV is in the RX slave mode, does it fire when triggered via the PC sync port or via the hotshoe?
thanks for your informative video. If I want to use the Mk IV as an off flash, should I get the TX?
so what i can't figure out is if I already have a 560iii and a 603ii transceiver, can i add this 560iv flash OFF camera and use the 603 on camera and still have the 560iv control all three groups (a,b,c)? or do i need to use the 560iv ON camera or buy a 560-tx and have it ON camera?
Nice review, I just picked up a Yongnuo mk iv and it's worked very well for me! If I have a second Mk IV can I use one flash just as a trigger for an off camera flash (the second MK IV), or will it always fire even when in master mode? Just wondering if I have to buy a flash trigger or not...
If you have the IV as master and a IV or III as a slave, you will not need another trigger. If you have two Mk IV's you can use one as a master and one as a slave. You can totally set the Mk IV master to fire along, or to not fire and just trigger the slave only. Hope this helps :)
ZY Productions That's awesome! Could I ask if you could put a video up showing how to use a mk IV as just a trigger so it does not fire when the slave goes off? The instruction manual is not very clear at all...
Thanks for the response!
I think I've briefly went over it in the above video, but basically the steps are
1) Set the 560 IV Master flash into Tx mode by pressing the button with the symbol that looks like a wifi icon.
2) Hit the centre "ok" button until it displays "--" under the "Group" indicator. (It should cycle from A/B/C/--). When "--" is selected under group, that means whatever settings that are shown are applied to the 560 IV flash itself.
3) Press the MODE button until it displays "--" on the flash exposure settings.
You're done :) Let me know if it works for you, if it still doesn't work I'll put up a video.
So basically the iv can control flashes that have a receiver.
Hi, is it possible to trigger the mark IV from a canon 430 EX using slave mode? Are the two flashes compatible that way?
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?
I'm having an issue with my YN560 IV and rf603 N ll. I've mounted the rf603 on my Nikon D3200, and had set all the correct settings on both flash and trigger but it still won't fire the off-camera flash. I have to connect the cable on my camera to the trigger only then the flash would fire. Are my rf603 faulty?
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.
on YN flash's do any of them have HSS (high speed sync)?
Only the TTL ones.
my 560iv stuck at full power no mater various settings I applied..
how to fix it? thanks
can i used for high speed sync ?
So what, we have to watch another review to find out all about it. Do you assume we watch all of your videos. I would like a full review of this piece of kit without having to refer to another video.
You confused me with the older version speed light man
Hi, great review!! I have a question, if I want to use the 560iv off camera, do I need to get a pair of 603 (1 for camera + 1 for speedlite) or should I get a 560tx unit, giving me the possibility of having a bigger setup later on?
I'd say go straight for the Tx :)
ZY Productions Thanks for your quick answer! I greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for sharing, very informative.
I just got the YN 560 IV and noticed when I am on Tx mode and press the PILOT button, the flash doesn't fire. It fires on Other modes but not on Tx mode. Is that normal? I don't have other YN flashes yet.
Since I care not fot TTL, this is the almost perfect speedlight, if only it had HSS capability
i have a poblem plz help me why pilot red light colour change to blue light colour
I can't find any info or videos explaining the multiflash function. Could you explain how to use that function?
The Yn560Iv have the auto focus red beam? I have 4 of Yn 560 III and I need something that have the red beam autofocus and can fire my yn560III.
In low light I have a problem with my focus and that's why I need something with the red beam.
Can u recomand me something that can help me?
Thanks
Unfortunately the 560 IV still doesnt have the AF beam.
ZY Productions Could you suggest something that does have AF beam, maybe not on the flash. I've heard some yongnuo flash trigger actaully does have AF red beam.
Timmy111888 yn-622 have AF red beam
Grzegorz Wasylko Can you remotely control the 560IVs with a YN622?
Robbie Aleman
only with another yn622. The integrated wireless form yn560IV is not compatible with the yn622
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
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.
Very good review
Question: I purchased two of the IV's in October of 2016. I have used them maybe twice. I use a Pentax K-3. I tried to use both of these a couple of days ago and neither one would fire from my hot shoe. They fired pushing the pilot light but not my shutter. Any suggestions?
karen boggs batteries?
my 560iv stuck at full power no mater various settings I applied.. how to fix it?
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?
my 560iv stuck at full power no mater various setting I applied.. how to fix it?
Im trying to figure out if the 560 IV has infrared AF grid? My YN 565EX used to have it.
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!
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.
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
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
Hi
I would like to buy and to use for to light from an other angle do I need an extra device for to make the connection with my dslr?
I got a question here... I've ordered one of this... now I'm puzzled, should I go with YN560-TX or RF603 II as a trigger? Because this flash already has YN560-TX built in to it... Please advise... By the way I want to use this with my panasonic camera as a off camera flash.
seems to me that you still need the yn560 tx but only if your using more than one flash. it just means that the 560 tx is already synced to the flash.
the tx unit is so cheap I wouldn't worry.
I run 3 flashes and its simple, I am a novice, so simple is good.
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?
Is it true to say the higher the number, the better the flash in the Yongnuo range?
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.
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.
