This week I have been testing his older brother, the Speedlite YN-568EX II. This one is improved on the basis of YONGNUO YN565EX.

TEST: FLASH YONGNUO YN-560 III

Yongnuo YN-560 presents the III, the third generation of its flagship and reference manual flash for users seeking a simple and powerful team with a small financial investment. A flash, with a single contact in the shoe, waives all automated systems, simplifying the technology to cut costs and delegate full control to the photographer. For its manual features, the flash is compatible with all cameras that have standard shoe (virtually all brands except Sony and Minolta, although it is possible to use an adapter shoe).

At first, it is easy to think that the YONGNUO YN-560 III is updating the YN-560 II, but the truth is that, in my opinion, are two almost identical flashes except for one feature: added to the previous model compatible with remote controls synchronizers manual RF-602 and RF-603 of the same brand. The huge sales of these models Yongnuo synchronizers have opened the door to launch this technological advantage. Otherwise, one could almost say it's the same flash.

The look, the touch, the materials, power, speed, flash, color temperature and Manual modes, Multi, S1 and S2, are virtually identical to its predecessor (YN-560 II), so if you're interested in knowing these features, you refer to the previous test conducted on this model which provides a comprehensive explanation of them and references that may be of help (photos, tables and specific information about what features the product offered, working mode and its advantages and disadvantages).

Yongnuo sells today, two of the most interesting models remote control manuals synchronizers value. A wireless remote control manual radio synchronizer is a computer technology that synchronizes the time of the photographic exhibition of the shooting moment flash output wirelessly, using radio data transmission and placing a device on the shoe chamber and the other connected to flash (through the shoe or by a cable). Normally, issuers and receivers have the ability to change channel frequency. The channel serves to avoid interference from other teams working near ours. The example would be a situation in which two photographers are working on two adjacent sets with the same remote controls. If both are on the same channel, it is likely that every time you shoot with your camera, all the flashes (including his partner) was also shot. If each of the photographers select a different channel, there will be no problem.

The RF-602 consists of a transmitter and a receiver and two RF-603 transceivers. A transceiver is a device that works just as emitter and receiver. Both as a model in other transmitters and receivers used to configure the channel with a combination of four selectors upwards and downwards (16 different channels). With either of these remote control models we can shoot our YN-560 III best camera flashes without a receiver for the flash itself internally has its own radio signal reception (for these two models only). We only select, in the flash itself, the same channel as we configured in the transmitter or transceiver. This saves money and equipment at hand when working via wireless.

The RF-602 and 603 also have a function to shoot camera, using the receiver connected to the cable input trigger the camera via a cable supplied by the manufacturer and shooting well from the button on the receiver itself or to distance from the transmitter button.

This one is sold in a price of $ 65.98 at Banggood. If you would like to purchase one camera flashes and have no idea, I have another good one to suggest you is about the YONGNUO YN560 IV.

Dedicated in the beginning to manufacture parts for GoPro, they decided they had enough knowledge to make their own sports camera, and got down to work. The result, here it is: The Dazzne P2.

Dazzne brings a camera capable of taking pictures up to 12 megapixels (interpolated) and record video at full HD resolution at 30 fps. It is making it very similar to other cameras in its price range.

As regards the distribution of the various buttons on the right side, removing a cap, we find three ports: HDMI, micro-USB and card reader. On the front we find a button that adjusts the screen brightness and go back in menus. At the top, we find two buttons, one to the left which serves to turn on the camera and change mode (explained later) and another that acts as a shot confirmation in the menus. On the left side (facing the target) we find a battery slot 950 milliamps. And in the rear, we find a "generous" 2-inch TFT screen with 960 * 240 resolution, superior to the competition.

The content of the Dazzne is rich in accessories, it brings us up to 14 of them. This is what we find inside the box:

We would like to highlight interesting details such as including two batteries, a charger that can charge both batteries while the camera and also can be used while charging, giving it an added versatility. And if we need more accessories no problem, because as a manufacturer of accessories for GoPro, all accessories of the most famous camera are compatible with Dazzne as well as those of the SJCAM.
