YN968N Wireless Camera Flash Speedlite Master Optical Slave HSS TTL for Nikon Cameras

I have a full line of Yongnuo remote flashes for off-camera shooting. I am not a professional photographer, and I don't use the equipment enough (or make money with it) to warrant purchasing all OEM-brand flash. I have an SB700 that I like very much, and I also had an SB910 which I used rarely just because I feared damaging it too much. I recently traded in some equipment and decided that I would trade in the SB910 and I got enough money that I could get this unit plus more.While the SB910 is a great unit, it just wasn't the right purchase for me, given how often it was used and how worried I was in breaking it. These Yonguo units pretty much do the same job, with the same power, for maybe 1/4 the price. This units seems to work well on-camera with TTL, and I can also use it off-camera with my manual 560 system. No real problems with misfires that I have seen yet, but I haven't run it through an even with a couple hundred shots yet.What we have here is a top model for a low brand, and it translates very positively into a reliable and practical tool that is pretty robust, but won't cause heartache if busted. For the most part, I think that light is light, and as long as it fires reliably (in frequency and level) then it's good.

This is a conditional 5-star review that I intend to update over the next few weeks as necessary. I'm giving it 5-stars for now, straight out of the box and after some preliminary testing, because it does exactly what I need it to do, and that is act as an on-camera master flash with radio for the Yongnuo 622 system. I shoot a lot of events with off-camera flashes and it was cumbersome to have an on-camera flash mounted on a 622 unit that itself was mounted on the camera; very unwieldy. So to just have a flash on camera that can control the other 622 triggers via radio is a HUGE advantage (I have Nikon flashes mounted on the 622 units and everything works perfectly so far). The flash itself feels sturdy and solid—it's just a bit longer than the Nikon SB-900 although the flash tube is about the same size—and the controls, for me, were very intuitive (but I watched some YouTube videos before, so I had an idea). At this point, I can't say there is anything wrong, but I have yet to take it out on assignment; the Yongnuo's durability as an off-brand flash is the big question. I will be back to update my experiences with it...UPDATE 1 (January 24th): Have taken it out for a couple of events and it's worked wonderfully as described above. So far durability seems fine. Main thing I want to add is that, while it feels solid in its own right, compared to the Nikon flashes (all of the ones I have, which are the SB-900, 700, and 600) the Yongnuo definitely feels "plasticky" when you handle it. That's a relatively minor distinction, though, but something of note.

The main reason I bought this flash, was to use for low-light events. I was hoping to use the LED to help me focus on people's eyes when it's almost completely dark in some venues. Unfortunately, in the manual it says that the flash won't fire with LED on. That makes no sense to me. They could just turn the LED off briefly or fine a way to fire the flash even while LED is on. Other than that, so far this flash seems great. It can trigger my other Yongnuo flashes wirelessly and control their power as a master or be used as a slave with YN622N unit.. Price is very reasonable. I just with the flash could fire while the LED is on.

Just received this today, and had a great out of the box experience. I had a Nikon SB-600 and one small drop broke it. Compare to the SB-600 this one as all the functionality as the top-of-the line Nikon flash. iTTL, Radio control, all angle tilt, bounce card, you name it. PLUS an LED light for video taking! All comes at a fraction of the cost compare to the Nikon products.Did a quick test with my existing YongNuo remote controls and it works perfectly. Flash color is very pleasing with the default Flash WB settings. Not to mention the flash very powerful.Cons: Diffuser is not included and packaging is a bit of an overkill. Not a big deal. For diffuser check out those designed by Gary Fong.

I own 4x yn568ex II speedlights. I bought this and a yn685 to hold and compare, as they each have the 622n receiver technology built in, which is a TREMENDOUS upgrade and the sole reason I'm looking to replace my yn568ex II flashes. This means less "stuff" physically on the flash, less gear to lug around, unit will fit better into light modifiers with smaller footprint and less AA batteries have to be carried.The overall build quality is incredible, compared to other Yongnuo flashes. This came out in 2017 and looks to be a manufacturing result of best practices and lessons learned over the years in the marketplace.1) Build quality/plastics have peaked and are top notch2) Overall flash is slim, especially considering the features packed in3) improved battery door quality4) improved laser auto-focus beam5) hot shoe lock/release switch is way better than plastic thumb screw6) output is higher than yn685, as GN is achieved at 105mm zoom vs 200mmI immediately returned the yn685 and am buying 3 more of these based on the build quality alone. Only a few buck more to upgrade to yn968 over the yn685, You could buy Godox stuff, which has a universal compatibility ecosystem (biggest advantage) going for it, but I don't think the build quality is on par with this unit, they're more expensive and you're locked in to their proprietary Li-on batteries. I expect to get a long service life out of this unit. The whole point is, you can have 4 or 5 of these for the price of one OEM Nikon/Canon speedlight at 95% of the quality and feature set. It's a no-brainer. Pair this with a 622tx or yn968 in master mode on top of your camera and you can control an army of off-camera flashes.
