You can buy approx three Yongnuo 600RT for the price of one Canon 600RT. If one of your Youngnuo 600RT fails your still up 300 plus dollars.
I have five of these and they have been reliable for the last 3 years. Recently the catches on one battery door gave out and I needed to replace it. At a cost of $13 for the door I bought two. A youtube video showed me how to change the door. The video was 30 seconds, and it took me 30 seconds to perform the switch. I am a big fan.
Hi Toby .... I would like to let you know that the Youngnuo speed lights have now service here in USA and offices in US... so the hindrance of servicing the YN speed lights have been taken care of.
I have 9 of the YN 560-3 and 3 TTLs 465's with their ttl transmitters and ttl receivers for 2 years of daily use ... flawless in every environment I've done... i am a location photographer so i do give them a run for their money every day.
+Frank Nazario That's excellent to know. Thank you!
I shot a wedding last week using the Canon 600EX-RT II and the Yongnuo YN600EX-RT II. Flawless performance from both, although I did notice the same faster recycle time on the YN. However, it doesn't wake up as fast. You have to remember to press the shutter release halfway first and wait for a second. You're good to go after that.
The YN-E3-RT controller is a must have if you own either one or both of the flashes. I've used it on many shoots, and I'm able to keep things moving rather than stop several times to adjust the power output.
Good video!
Fair enough; you're a pro and have gotten good use out of them. My experience differs. I've tried one on a high volume shoot. It got very hot and then failed until it cooled down again.... Out comes the Canon.... No dramas there!!!
Great video Toby! I use the cheaper YN560-IV flashes and love them. I might consider upgrading to these.
Thanks for posting regular content and educating.
I purchased the Yongnuo YN600EX-RT II and YN-E3-RT trigger unit. I love the YN600EX-RT II because it is compatible with the TTL on my Canon 5D Mk IV but I also do manual photography. You I I just can't beat Yongnuo price vs. Canon version. The door where the battery is installed on the flash is much better than the Canon version. I went ahead and purchased another YN600EX-RT II. Hopefully the second order does not come out as a lemon like most of the few negative reviews from Amazon. I also have no problem with wheel selector which I kinda like. You just have to get use to it.
I have had to replace the doors in my 600 RT's and to do that you have to order from China so be prepared for a little bit of a wait. Not sure why there is no place in the US that stocks them ... at least that I can find. The other major problem I have with them is when shooting event photography (using a Rogue Flash Bender ... flash in vertical position) that the flash heats up and shuts down. The Canon 580EXII that I have will keep on shooting without this problem but ... it isn't as bright at the Yongnuo 600-RT. I do love the price and may be getting another soon.
I use the Yongnuo with Yognuo triggers. I've always been satisfied with them. I don't do a ton of flash photography but I do some. So, I could never justify the price of the Canons. The Yonguno's I've had for like 5 years, still work good.
+nagol5178 I hate the price gouging that Nikon and Canon do just cause they can.
I have Yongnuo's as well, but to be fair, Canon pays all of the research and development costs, marketing, for the original product. Ironic, because originally Japanese camera companies copied American models and essentially did the same thing as what Yongnuo is doing. lol
I have switched over to Godox wireless X system..Since I shoot Sony & Nikon it's the best bang for the buck especially if you use HSS & TTL..
@@devinmillermedia You do know Canon is not an American Company right......
@@coryandpamela1 yes, read what I wrote again you dipshit. Canon copied AMERICAN companies ... I didn't say they were an American company. I've had Canon gear probably longer than you've been alive.
I've been using Yongnuo units alongside one Canon unit for two wedding seasons, and they are going strong. They work virtually identically to the Canon. Performed firmware updates no problem. The speaker here talks about possible hassles for repairs. At only $120 each, I wouldn't imagine repairs are exactly practical. Most flash issues involve breakage rather than malfunction, and anything that breaks a Yongnuo (such as a very hard drop) is likely going to break the Canon, too. With this in mind, and at 1/4 the price, the Yongnuo is, to me, actually preferable from an economic standpoint. (I've shot more than 400 weddings, and have had two flashes break during that time. One was a Canon 550 EX, and the other an old Sunpak grip-style model. The Canon was already years old and thoroughly out of warranty, and was, accordingly, a total loss.) Finally, as the speaker said, I actually prefer the stronger and more effective AF assist offered by the Yongnuo better than the Canon. Ten years ago and further, OEM flash units represented the best game in town. Today, that's not necessarily the case, and certainly not from a standpoint of value. Yongnuo gets my vote.
This was an excellent video!. I'm shooting a wedding on Sunday & im buying 3. Thank you so much!
I also have both flashes and did some testing. One important result I would add to the review here: The Yongnuo produces about 1 stop less light (at least on my model)!
And: I would say the build quality is really not comparable to Canon ... but yes, it is very inexpensive and you can easily get 2 for the price of one to make up for the flash power diff ;)
+Christof Prenninger Interesting. I have not seen the differences in light in my comparisons but it doesn't surprise me - quality control is not a strength of of YN.
Good video Toby.
What do you think about the ethics of these flashes? I have a hard time purchasing products which basically are a exact clone of Canons product. Most likely being sold significantly cheaper, since they did not have to fund the R&D, or provide future customer support?
Might be a interesting discussion for a future live show.
ekim952522000 It is an interesting topic we will try to touch on soon. Thanks!
Really enjoyed the review, short concise and informative. I nice change from so many of the less professional reviews found on youtube! Im now a subscriber.
Hey Toby, just bought the Yongnuo from B&H from your link. Thanks for doing these great video reviews!
+Cooper Griggs Thanks!
I really appreciate this video. The comparisons were true to what matters most, cost. I’m sure if the performance was not up to par it would have been addressed. I’m buying a young flash right now!
My main gripe about my YN600RT is the thin foot, which causes a sloppy fit in the hotshoe.
Because of this, I wouldn't use it on-camera, but have no problem using it on a lightstand.
Great Video! How can I get the Triger Mode switch back to changing the mode. It seems to be going into radio signals.
i had one yn600ex rt, nice flash and very cheap!!!! Im very happy whit it!!!!
Good timing. I am in the market for my first flash. I was considering the yongnuo 568, but now I may be convinced to go to the 600. Very reasonable price to!
NickMach007 i got it and im very satisfied with the results
Sweet. I just ordered mine this morning!
Toby could you please help me with this issue. I shoot with nikon d7100 and i want long exposure and rear curtain flash. i set the flash to "rear" but with i take the photo the flash fires twice, first when the press the shutterbutton and then again when the shutter closes. I have checked all my settings and i cannot figure out how to make the flash only fire once, (when the curtain close) This happens both with popupflash and with my yongnuo attached..
thanks toby!
PhotoRec Toby like the dynamic light of the set here!
Loving your videos and learning a ton. Thanks!
Thanks, bought two flashes and the yn e3 rt. Your vids are great!
Nice review Toby. The canon flashes have seriously been overpriced for years... a money making idea from canon to easily cash in on people who bought canon cameras and are not informed of better / cheaper alternatives like the yongnuos
Also u mention warranty and repair maybe a hassle with yongnuo... who cares when u can buy 2 more to replace the broken one and still haven't spent as much as buying 1 canon flash.
I have used canon and yongnuo and actually prefer the yongnuos in the past as they could sense other flashes going off and fire (cabins never even had this basic function) :)
I was just looking for this comparison! Thanks!
DANG!, Too late!, I just ordered yesterday two Canon's 600EX. I could have almost 6 of the Yongnuo. Thanks for the video, probably my next set of flashes will be Yongnuo.
Have you had any problems/uncomfort when rotating hot shoe mounted YN flashes? Some say that it's pain because lack of lock buttons requires much more force to rotate the flash unit and hot shoe mount is not tight enough.
ErkkiMattila I have not. It does require a little more force but nothing that feels like an issue and you quickly get used to it.
Very good review. I own both flashes and I totally agree with your statements
I know this is out of topic, but I can see that you're using Sigma Lens on your camera, do you have any focusing problems with it?
I shoot sports photography and sometimes find myself in situations where I need to use flash. What I need is the fastest recycle time as possible. How do the Yongnuo's compare to Canon? And also of importance, how does their performance compare when using the Canon CP-E4N battery pack?? Thanks in advance for your input.
You should try to get the ATG/Qauntum/Godox battery pack on these and many other that accept external battery pack.
If you & many beginners like to shoot a lot if HSS, both flashes will not last long.
@PhotoRec Toby hello. can you please make a video on Godox AD360-360WS and its performance with 5D mark iii. hope to hear from you soon takecare
There is no battery meter on the canon? Glad I got 2 yongnuos instead
How does the YongNuo compare to the Canon EXII power wise?
A Yungnuo you don't repair. You just buy another one. They are cheap. I bought 1 Canon and 2 Yungnuo's. This combination together with the Yongnuo st-e3-rt works fine.
1 issue with the Yongnuo; rear curtain only works in manual (wireless) till 2 seconds!
Longer exposures are not possible. With the Canon no issues.
I would love to buy 2 of these but they aren't available in my country :l
Dear, yungnuo 600 RT is compatible with nikon d5300 camera?
Is there a power pack available for the Yonghuo 600rt
Can you change all settings to Yongnuo as you do to Canon flash on your camera? (I have 650D)
Really considering to buy Yongnuo for my first and only flash I will ever use. (personal use only)
Yes you can, the menu to control flashes on the 650D is exactly the same showcased in this video on a 5d mark III
Can we use a combo of canon and yongnuo off-camera flashes radio triggered at the the same time?
عمار الشايب Yes - I mention this in the video.
PhotoRec Toby sorry for my poor English listening :'(
Great review,does it have a option to get triggered wireless when used with a studio strobe like a profoto B1 or Quarda ..like Godox TT865 has s mode ?
No, that one of the drawback of all Canon and Nikon flashes.
ATG's ATG, Godox, Flashpoint, Cheetah Light & Neewer can work with Profoto B1 and all monolights.
excellent review on the topic, would you consider Yongnuo transmitter for the whole setup with mix of canon and Yongnuo flashes?
Yes it works really well. The camera thinks it has the genuine article in the shoe. You can even use the camera to set the flashes. As an aside , my JinBei 610 studio strobes have a controller for each of Canon, Nikon, Sony and Fuji. My JinBei controller fires my Yong Nuos believing them to be Canon Speedlites. This gives me a lot more fire power at weddings.
Good review, I'm gonna get one. Thanks
Why repair the yongnuo, for what you could repair the Canon, you could buy a brand new YN on amazon with amazon prime shipping.
Hi! Can I control the YN 600RT from the Canon 600RT? Are these 2 compatible together? Thanks
Ivan Jean, ATG said, "Yes".
You need to get the Yongnuo YN600EX-RT II.
Either the YN600EX-RT II or 600EX-RT can be on camera = ATG radio ETTL II
ATG/Yongnuo YN600EX-RT II can do more features than Canon's:
* ATG wireless radio ETTL II
* ATG wireless IR ETTL II
* ATG wireless IR ITTL
* ATG wireless IR S1
* ATG wireless IR S2
* ATG micro USB
I too bought a number of the Yongnuo, (4 in all) hoping to be able to use them regularly. But unfortunately right from the beginning, 2 of them suffered from over heating, in one of them almost immediately, and I was not using it heavily. Two others seemed to go through the batteries very quickly, and again on another 2 if leaving the batteries in the flash, when I would go to use the flash the next time, sometimes only a few days latter, the batteries would show no charge. I find them very unreliable. And unfortunately have not no luck in attempting to deal with the company. I was too early in purchasing them directly from China, should have purchased them from Amazon for easy return. Very disappointed.
hi Toby,I have a 700D. the youngnou's af assist light will work with it? thanks
+Rashid Line Yep.
Thanks for the great info.
What do you think, is it worth it to sell my 430EX ii to get the yongnuo?
GD Productions If the 430 EX II is working for you I don't see any major reason to sell but if you would like to start getting into off camera flash and using more than one - the 600RTs are a great way to go.
very well explained
Buy 4 Yongnuo's, the Canon is not 4 times better
I know the Yongnuo is very good and cost way less than the Canon. I do find it unethical that as you have said, Yongnuo has cloned the Canon 600ex-rt. I think that is terrible. I have a hard time buying Yongnuo products.
If you paid the extra $400 per Canon speedlite you got ripped off. I dare you try to tell the difference in a blind test.
Is there a Nikon version?
Chrismzeller Not for the 600RTs - Nikon doesn't offer any wireless options at this time. The The YN-568EX is the best Yongnuo model for Nikon at this time.
Good helper
Note re Canon repair ......I respect Canon ........but off warranty repair of many items can make you question buy new or repairing your damaged unit ......many repairs are costly
Canon rules the day always. Third party products are cheap and never last thats why. Canon with rechargeable batteries recycle fast. I have heard photographers complaints about repairs with the yo yo' s... complaints go unanswered by the yo yo's. Yes by all means spend the extra cash get the best. I have three canon speedlite 600ex rts and one canon 430ex rt for my master or for fill flash with my otc flash cord.
