Right now, I’d steer clear of this flash unit unless you can live with the problems I’ve pointed out. I’m not sure if the above issues are ‘normal’ or I got a bad copy. I never have this problem with factory flashes, even after using full power for an hour or two.

I’m not sure why this is, but the owner’s manual says to remove the batteries after turning the power off, that’s weird! Finally, the worst offending issue the flash wants to turn off for some reason after a few full power, or even half power pops, and it won’t restart again until it cools down. Another issue: the batteries are warm when the flash is on, but not being used, that draws unnecessary power, and shortens battery life. The LCD is fine when you look straight at it, but when viewed from a hard angle, it can be hard to read, or unreadable that sucks when it’s on a light stand, you have to lower the stand so you can read it, then re-adjust it. However, all is not well with the Yongnuo YN560-II. The recharge rate for a full power 1/1 pop is about 3-4 seconds, not bad! It comes with what sounds like a cool slave/wireless capability, but I didn’t test that feature. Also impressive are the eight full power settings, with 1/3 and 1/2 stop adjustments. The flash puts out a lot of light in fact it puts out just a hair more than the Sony HVL-F60M or HVL-F58AMwhen tested at 28mm. Also, there’s a screw lock PC connection for radio triggers using off-camera flash, so all you need is the proper connector to the trigger, that saves on having to buy a hotshoe adapter with a connector which I have to do with the proprietary Sony hotshoe flashes made before 2013.

First off, the flash is made well, and the head adjusts to different positions without having to unlock or push a button, and they stay put too.
