I got this flash not too long ago and I have to say that I"m pleasantly surprised at how good it is. The construction of the flash feels top notch and certainly doesn"t look like it"s $70. I"ve never had much experience with the $300 flashes mainly because I can"t justify spending that much money at the moment, but pretty much everything about this flash is superb. The LCD screen is very informative, it syncs with your camera so that it knows aperture, zoom and ISO settings, and it provides TTL, manual, slave 1 and slave 2 modes. As far as I can gather, the slave 1 mode makes the camera flash as soon as it senses a flash from the master (a typical slave function), and slave 2 makes it so that the master somehow creates a sync flash before the picture is taken just in case the slaves are misfiring. Don"t quote me on that though because as I will get into in a bit, the manual is so absolutely horrid that I can"t really tell what"s going on.A really nice feature that I like is the flash zoom. It"s a pretty standard feature on mid and upper range speedlights but it"s nice to see it on a $70 flash. It can be set either to automatically sync with your camera or can be manually set up to 180mm. This unit also gives you the option to plug it into external power, which either charges the batteries inside or makes the flash run solely off of the charger. I"m not sure which one it is because again, the manual is so horrible.The wide-angle diffuser is also a nice feature. Once you pull it out, the flash will automatically go to 14mm zoom and it doesn"t seem like you can change that. There is also a white card reflector that pops out so that if you are reflecting your flash off a ceiling or something, you can also pull the card out so that a little bit of it hits your subject directly.This speedlight also comes with a laser grid that helps your camera focus in low light. When your camera doesn"t have enough light for auto focus to function, the flash will project a laser grid onto the subject you"re trying to photograph so that your camera can focus. It"s very helpful and my camera focuses just as if there was a lot of light. I think this is a standard feature on most flashes but I thought I"d put in here anyways for those of you who don"t know.Now onto the big gripe. As is pretty customary with Chinese-made electronics, the manuals tend to have very shoddy English, but usually you can get by with what they"re trying to say. This manual? It"s barely intelligible. The English is so bad in certain places that I literally cannot understand what they"re saying and I"m just left wondering how I"m supposed to make this feature or that feature work on my own. Here are some excerpts from the manual, and keep in mind I"m typing every word (and misspelling) exactly:"The flash light is abnormal?Switch off the powr of flash light and camera,mount the flash light on the hot shoe...""In use process have function abnormal or part of the failure of function, can detach flash to installed the new battery then trun on again for recover normal use. For abnormal use may caused error state, under turning on status,replacement battery directly,the battery capacity lack, hot shoes too loose to happen badness contact, etc." (Wow, that was painful to write)"*Caution: long time no use, please featch out batteries.""If these demands conflict with your hoped direct ion of light irradiation..." (What, are we in a nuclear apocalypse now?)"Whenever which mode your flash, press the "[up arrow]" "[down arrow]" button for more than 2 seconds, then you can reset the parameter of the flash by fast-forward or fast-backward."It just goes on and on, and I could keep giving you more examples of how horrible it is. It"s almost like they used Google Translate to do all this, but even then that might be an insult to the makers of Google haha, so I don"t really know. A lot of the sentences don"t go together, and there"s hardly any useful information at all so you"re left wondering what the hell they are trying to say.Bottom line, this is an excellent and affordable flash, but I am warning you that if you decide to buy it, the manual is almost completely useless with all of its spelling errors and grammatical inconsistencies. That"s enough to warrant a reduction of one star because if you"re selling a product, you need to put at least a little bit of effort into telling your customers how to use it. I understand that the makers probably don"t speak English, but they could have hired a translator or something. It is a major frustration of mine, but I think I can look past it.Update: July 14, 2014Okay so I figure out what S1 and S2 modes are. S1 is apparently a manual expose slave function and S2 is a TTL function. I"m not sure how the S2 will work because the flash would need some kind of data connection to the camera so it knows how to expose it properly (based on what the camera meter says). Regardless, you have that option if you can figure it out.The flash is still operating very well. I"m still using the same 4 AA batteries I put in to begin with and it"s still going strong after some moderately heavy use. I expected to replace the batteries much more often than this but it seems they last quite a while.I"d also like to make a note about high speed sync. This flash does NOT offer high speed sync. It offers up to 1/250 for TTL and you can squeeze 1/320 out of it if you use the strobe function. The strobe is a bit more involved and takes some getting used to if you really want the extra shutter speed but it doesn"t come close to the true high speed sync of the Nikon flashes. Nikon uses a strobing technique for the high speed sync as well but the strobes are MUCH faster than the Neewer flash. That"s why it can use 1/8000 shutter speed.

Wow! First thing out of the box, trying several random TTL snapshots around the house, just Wow! Really excellent easy results. First impression was really good. I like it.

What"s not to like? It"s a relabeled Meike flash (appears to be the Meike MK-951), for only $54 USD. The Neewer VK750 II speedlight is decent power and fully featured. Not quite fully powered, about 0.8 stop less power than the SB-800, or about equal to a SB-700, but the SB-700 price will buy six of these!

It works very well in TTL and Manual modes, performance is nice. Results seemed to just always be about right, amazing minimal need for TTL compensation (that"s Big Talk, TTL simply cannot work like that, but it really does seem nice). It has convenient menus, and all the necessary features to use it: Zooms 18 to 180 mm (18 mm really means for DX only). It is iTTL, bounce head tilts to 90 degrees, head rotates 180 degrees left and 90 degrees right, with pullout bounce card and pull out wide angle diffuser. It has 1/3 stop compensation for TTL mode (and the camera can control it too). Manual mode does third stops to 1/128 power. Has a PC sync connector (threaded) for Manual flash. It has optical slave modes S1 and S2, each with their own normal menus (handy and obvious to use).

It recycles full power level in about 2.5 seconds (Eneloop NiMH, batteries Not included). FV Lock and Rear Curtain Sync work (those are camera functions). This flash has both the wheel clamp and pin shoe lock, so you have to rotate the wheel all the way up, which retracts the pin, then you can remove the flash. Foot has a steel hot shoe plate. It comes with a fabric draw string case and a plastic flat slave stand (aluminum threads in bottom). Sync voltage is a very safe five volts. Says it accepts a Nikon SD-8A type external battery pack. There are more descriptions about flash features at Beginners Guide to Select a Hot Shoe Flash.

TTL Bounce flash, standing under a ten foot ceiling, works at ISO 400 f/5.6 (but f/4 is always routinely safer to allow some margin, for scene variables and compensation and faster recycle, etc).

HSS FP flash mode and a Remote mode for Nikon Commander seem the only features Not in this model. If your camera does not have a Commander, those would be of no use anyway. It seems a really fine flash for general use, certainly including bounce flash. The VK750 II would be an really excellent choice for a beginner just getting into flash, before spending hundreds of dollars.

However yes, there are a few little things.The Neewer spec says guide number 58 (meters, 105 mm zoom), which seems like they printed the wrong GN chart. The Meike MK-951 spec says GN 42 (meters, 105 mm), and the actual power is near one stop less than GN 58. Still rather adequate power, more equivalent to Nikon SB-700 class, but not one of the fully powered flashes. For higher ceilings, bounce flash use would like the higher power rating.

18 mm zoom is very optimistic. They must be assuming DX only, and it is fine for DX. They just don"t say that, but it"s a 24 mm zoom. The Meike MK-951 spec says 24 mm zoom. See more below. I found auto zoom into 18 mm to be a little balky, but a couple of tries works. The zoom motor is slightly loud.

I saw an incompatibility with the old Nikon SC-17 hot shoe extension cord (three of them). Sometimes it worked, but usually wouldn"t, it could not see the camera, and it caused the camera viewfinder to show blanks for f/stop and shutter speed. Sometimes it will work if pulling the VK750 back slightly, not quite fully seated in the SC-17, sometimes there is a position where it might work (not easy to find). But there is absolutely no problem when mounted directly on the camera hot shoe.

Based on the few I have seen, the following appears to be true of all third party flashes:No warning of TTL underexposure at full power. This is a Nikon warning that the TTL flash has limited out at full power, but still cannot deliver the greater requested demand (for example, attempting ceiling bounce flash at f/16 ISO 100, which is not a reasonable try — try f/4 for bounce). This is my only real complaint, but it seems true of third party flashes in general. Such warning can tell us in advance that "compensation isn"t going to work here, we can only reduce power demands". This is a standard feature on Nikon TTL flashes, to give warning of that situation (flashing Ready light and beeps, and LCD display of stops underexposure). This seems a great Nikon feature, but it seems not a third party feature.

very nice menu system... natural, convenient, intuitive, readable. The English translation in the manual could be much better, but the flash is very easy to use.

Was the price mentioned? $54 USD is absolutely amazing for this much flash. Any regular use (hot shoe TTL and bounce, off camera Manual Slave mode, etc) will give no problem and will act like a $330 SB-700. A few extra features may be missing, but regular use is very nice.

The Neewer VK750 II, the Yongnuo YN565EX, and the Aperlite YH-700 flash heads are larger than some, and if you might want a clear snap-on diffuser dome for bounce flash, those for a SB-900 Nikon will fit all three of them. I am not a fan of the domes, I prefer the pull out bounce card, but I bought one to check size. The one I tried was Neewer Flash Bounce Light Diffuser Dome for Nikon SB900

The Nikon iTTL system defaults to actually be TTL BL mode (Balanced Fill Flash, same as the SB-700 mode). And like the Nikon flashes too, indoor TTL BL bounce flash often is better exposed with up to about +1 EV flash compensation, but that"s the camera metering system, not the flash. Camera Spot metering mode switches the flash metering out of TTL BL mode, to be actual TTL mode, but Spot metering itself is only about the ambient light, and the flash system does not use Spot metering (more below). The camera controls TTL flash and TTL metering.

The VK750 II does do the job very well, it is a very usable flash, ample power, versatile, and seems dependable. I am well satisfied with the flash and its features and power and performance, and the price for this much flash seems amazing. If a few hundred dollars of price has put off acquiring a flash, consider this one, a good usable flash. The price is a great feature, which simply buys more in this model.

The Neewer TT560 Flash Speedlite is a no-frills manual flash that covers all the basic functionality most camera users will want out of a speedlight. In particular, the TT560 makes a fantastic option for an off-camera flash in settings that call for more than one light. Priced at the lowest end of the spectrum for flashes in its class, this flash will provide fantastic value to anyone looking for additional light and without a lot of advanced control.

The Neewer TT560 Flash Speedlite doesn’t have the most premium feel out of the flashes we’ve tested, but not in a way that should necessarily distract from your overall experience of the product. Its 15.8 ounces light, plastic design makes it very easy to carry, although we wouldn’t want to try subjecting it to too many bumps and drops. Another thing to note is that measuring 4 x 8.7 x 3.1 inches (HWD), the TT560 is on the larger side among flashes we’ve looked at, even those with more features.

The Neewer TT560 Flash Speedlite features a standard hot shoe that will work with most cameras. We found it easy to mount. The flash itself supports up to 90 degrees of vertical rotation, and up to 270 degrees of horizontal rotation. This is fairly standard for speedlights. On the flash head, you’ll find a slide-out wide panel and a reflection board.

On the front of the device is the optical control sensor, used for triggering the flash during off-camera use. On the right side, a plastic cover peels away to reveal a 3.5mm PC Sync Socket (for synchronizing flash and shutter), and a charging socket for use with an external power source. On the opposite side of the camera, the battery cover slides open to give you access for four AA batteries.

The Neewer TT560 Flash Speedlite might not come with a wealth of features, but it covers all the basics that most photographers will be looking for in a flash. The rear of the device contains Minus and Plus buttons (used for controlling the light output of the flash from 1/128 to 1/1), a mode button to toggle between the three modes (M, S1, S2), a Test button, and an On/Off switch.

When in “M” mode, the TT560 can be placed directly onto your camera’s hot shoe to trigger the flash, or connected via a speedlight trigger hot shoe connected by cable. Simply adjust the light output to one of the 8 steps and press the camera shutter.

S1 and S2 modes allow the flash to function as a slave unit. In S1 mode, the flash will fire when it detects light from the master unit, usually attached to the camera body itself. In S2, the flash will fire when it detects a second flash, ignoring the first flash. This is primarily used when the master flash is in TTL mode, which utilizes a pre-flash to gather information about the scene before firing the main flash.

In our testing, we spent a good amount of time using the flash on the camera body itself in M mode. The rest of the time we set up the light attached to an umbrella setup in S1, to see how it performs in an off-camera scenario (in our case, for taking headshots). The Neewer TT560 Flash Speedlite performed admirably in all of the different settings, delivering reliable light when and where it was required.

The big elephant in the room for the Neewer TT560 Flash Speedlite is TTL, or the lack thereof. TTL, or Through The Lens, is a metering mode that lets a flash unit fire a series of infrared bursts and evaluates the actual light coming through the lens to determine how much power to deliver when taking a photo.

In theory, this might seem like a really great thing — why would you want to take the time to figure out how much power a given scene needs before taking a picture? In practice though, it’s a bit more complicated. In studio environments, for example, a photographer might want very precise control over the amount of light in each shot. TTL might have a slightly different interpretation of a scene from photo to photo, making it less than ideal for controlled environments.

Where TTL shines, however, is in environments where the amount of light necessary is changing rapidly from shot to shot. Photographers wanting to ensure they get usable photos in all scenarios as well as amateurs less willing to play around to get every shot just right will appreciate the additional convenience that TTL provides.

Ultimately, it comes down to the photographer and their preferences. In most of the scenarios that we used the Neewer TT560 Flash Speedlite during testing, we rarely missed having TTL as an option.

Neewer doesn’t provide users with too much in the box: a simple instruction manual, a case for the flash, a mounting plate (which allows the flash to stand unassisted and also lets you mount it directly to a tripod), and of course the speedlight itself.

After inserting the batteries, simply mount the TT560 to a camera, or position it where you intend to use it in an off-camera setup. Switch the flash to the on position, and wait a few seconds for the charging indicator to turn red. The flash is now ready for use.

At a $30.99 MSRP on Amazon, you aren’t going to find a much better deal. We imagine most shoppers find their way to the Neewer TT560 Flash Speedlite in the first place because it hits a nice balance of trusted reputation and price. All we can say on this subject is that the TT560 gave us everything we expected for the price, while not omitting any critical features.

One of the closest rivals to the Neewer TT560 Flash Speedlite is the AmazonBasics Electronic Flash. The two units are nearly indistinguishable from each other, both containing the same modes and levels of power control. Amazon’s option is available for a couple of dollars less, but some quality control issues make it slightly more difficult to recommend. For the extra two or three bucks, we’d rather have the slightly reduced chance of a lemon.

The Neewer TT560 Flash Speedlite gives buyers everything they will need in a manual flash for a price so low that it’s easy to recommend. The potentially hundreds of dollars that you save by picking up this flash means you will still have money to spend on additional lights and lighting accessories, which is a huge favor to most photographers. You may not get TTL or a fancy LCD screen, but you get everything you need to take great photos.

The first thing you"ll notice about the Nikon SB 500 will be its little size. Because the flash is small and light, you may bring it into any interior shot without a problem. The SB-500 flash features simple settings and only a few buttons, yet it provides advanced flash performance despite working on multiple AA batteries.

A built-in high-intensity LED light delivers consistent, daylight-balanced lighting. The flash features three power settings: half, quarter, and full, molding it to be excellent for close-up and low-light video portrait shots. Unlike the Nissin DI700A, the Nikon SB 500 sends better LED color information to the camera for optimal white balance.

The flash has i-TTL technology that tailors the flash"s characteristics to each photograph, guaranteeing that you always get the best results. Because of its intellectual ability and greater irradiance level, the SB-500 flash is great as a fill-light outside or for soft bounce lighting indoors.

The Nissin DI7000A flash is a standard-sized flash for Nikon cameras that shares many of the company"s proprietary products" looks and features. It"s composed of sturdy plastic and appears to be able to withstand a fall, but we wouldn"t put it to the test.

In the rear, there"s an LED display and a few tactile controls. They"re used to power up the DI700A, test the flash and change modes. In addition, TTL metering is provided, which is a nice feature.

You have the option of shooting in first or second curtain modes and slave digital and film. Slave digital makes the Nissin DI700A flash fully unaffected by pre-flashes; however, slave film renders it sensitive to strobes and other external light sources.

This flash"s most pleasing feature is the A1 Commander. It"s a little transmitter that you can attach to a tripod"s hot shoe and use to control many flashes in a group. However; it is more dependable than systems that rely on line of sight since it operates with radio waves. You may also modify exposure compensation with the device. It has a 100-foot effective range.

The Nissin DI700A flash has a greater focal range of 24-200mm and a guide number of 177 feet at ISO 100, compared to the Neewer 750II TTL"s focal length of only 105mm. It may fire up to 30 times before cooling down. Two AAA batteries power the commander, while four AA batteries power the DI700A. Because you put them in a cartridge that speeds up insertion, it"s a good idea to have a spare so you can switch them out quickly.

The Neewer 750II TTL flash is designed with a plastic casing and low-quality feel while working the buttons. Try not to drop or ding it, since this will most likely be the end of it. That being said, the flash has a metal hot shoe attachment that will not warp or bend after years of operation.

Depending on the manufacturer, four AA batteries can last up to 300 shots. The batteries in most flashes are organized in pairs by most manufacturers. The Neewer 750II TTL Flash Speedlight container arranges them in a line, limiting contact and avoiding heat accumulation. This allows you to shoot more and for longer periods, which is ideal for real estate photography.

The guiding distance of the Neewer 750II TTL Flash is 190 feet, which is outstanding for a flash at this price range. It even outperforms Nikon"s own SB-500 in terms of adjusting to the current zoom distance of a lens. Large rooms may be covered with a minimum of 14mm. If you acquire the somewhat more costly deluxe edition, you can even decrease it by utilizing a softbox.

There"s not much to complain about when it comes to the Neewer 750II TTL Flash Speedlight performance. The TTL is spot on, and the directional pad makes modifying manual settings a breeze. In addition, strobe mode and slave mode to tether the device to your camera"s internal flash are both supported.

With wireless slave TTL capability and full Nikon i-TTL support, the Yongnuo YN-565EX flash can broaden creative ambient lighting by giving an off-camera alternative. At ISO 100 and 105mm, the flash has an auto magnification of 24-105mm with a guide length of 190 feet and angling from a rotation of -7 to +90 degrees and 270 degrees.

As opposed to the Neewer 750II TTL, the flash can be easily triggered by cameras since it is designed with commander modes or other speed lamps and master TTL capability, and it can be used as a transparent optical slave with rapid sync and skip pre-flash settings

The Yongnuo YN-565EX N flash also has useful features such as a broad diffusing screen and a bounce card inserted into the head. There"s also a flashing light and a sound cue for audible flash status indicators. The use of a D-pad makes setting specific parameters simple.

The flash’s LCD aids in contemplating alternatives, and it recycles within three seconds. There are additionally curtain sync modes 1 and 2 and PC sync, and an external power pack plug. You’ll need four AA batteries to power it.

It takes some time getting used to controlling the YN-565EX N, but once you do, there"s a lot to enjoy. You can, for example, you can enable auditory notifications that beep when cycling is finished. When you can"t see the backlit LCD and want to fire another shot as soon as the flash is ready, this feature comes in handy.

The Godox Thinklite TTL TT685N features wireless triggering with an incorporated 2.4GHz X radio system. This flash can either be set up with modes like slave or master, with a range of 328" and supports thirty-two channels and three groups, allowing you to create an amazing variety of lighting configurations. To create more sophisticated combinations, it may also be used with an optional X series transmitter.

In the rear, you"ll find a full set of controls, as well as an LED screen that illuminates for easy operation in the dark. You may change the operation and flash modes, test the flash, and integrate the Thinklite TTL TT685N into a larger lighting system.

Thanks to the camera"s compatibility with Nikon"s i-TTL technology, users will have access to several automated flash settings as well as the capability to use features like high-speed sync. The flash features a guide number of 197" at ISO 100 and 200mm and this aids in easy illumination of objects and subjects. The flash contains a 20-200mm sprint head and a 14mm wide-angle panel, making it compatible with a broader range of lenses, as opposed to the Neewer 750II TTL.

To regulate spring back and where illumination shoots on the scene, the head may be inclined from -7 to 90 degrees and spun 360 degrees. You can this with other common flashes using the optical master/slave transmission.

Users can connect to the wireless control cable with the FT series remote command program to get wireless command over the power settings. The flash has a 3.5mm sync port used in connecting the camera or trigger via wire. The flash uses four AA batteries (alkaline or NiMH) that provide roughly two hundred and thirty complete 0.1-2.6 second recycling times and power flashes.

On Nikon DSLRs, the Godox flash performs brilliantly. It reacts quickly, and the flash and camera systems work hand in hand to create well-controlled exposures in practically every shot. However, even when the flash recycling is complete, it does not offer the necessary number of bursts in the multi-flash mode, especially with bigger bursts of 20 or more.

There are a few features to remember when buying a budget flash for your Nikon camera if you want to make sure you have one that provides a good level of image quality, speed, and connectivity.

A TTL flashgun can be thought of as an ‘automatic" flashgun. It communicates to your camera to figure out how much light is required to better expose the scene and then attempts to emit that amount of light. For example the SB 500 has TTL mode.

On any Nikon DSLR camera, a native sync speed will be available. This is the fastest shutter speed that can be used. The Nikon SB 500 features high-speed sync, which allows you to sync the flash to shutter speeds up to your camera"s maximum speed.

When it comes to flash requirements, one of the most important factors to remember is the power. A flash"s power output is normally expressed by its GN value (Guide Number). The most light would be emitted by a flash with a higher GN value. For example, the Nissin DI700A has a high guide number of 177.

Flashes have a lot of benefits, one of them is that they can quickly be bounced. The more bouncing options you have, the more a flash head rotates. The SB 500 head rotates 180 degrees and tilts 90 degrees to remove background shadows and allow for revolutionary light modulation.

You won"t need an adapter to use the flash off camera since many newer flash systems have built-in wireless capabilities. For example, the Godox Thinklite TTL TT685N has a wireless mode that vastly extends its capabilities, enabling you to add light from different angles or use several flashes to produce different effects.

When flash units are used often, they might get hot. Certain equipment may be forced to shut down or function at a lower power level as a result of this. As a result, they quickly heat up, which is why checking the flash"s temperature management needs is critical.

A zoom function on hot shoe flashes prevents the flash from highlighting sections of the scene that aren"t being photographed. The Yongnuo YN-565EX N, for example, boasts an excellent auto zoom range of 24-105mm.

The flash recycling speed indicates how quickly the flash can be turned back on. If you"re shooting a lot of motion, remember to keep the flash recycle speed in mind. With a recycle duration of around 3.5 seconds, the Nikon SB 500 features a long recycle time.

Not every Nikon camera is compatible with every flash. Some flashes may operate with specific camera bodies, but only to a limited extent; verify sure the camera is totally compatible before purchasing. Some flashes are incompatible with the camera"s TTL technology and must be operated manually.

Yes and No. When shooting with flash, there are usually two exposures: the subject"s flash exposure and the background ambient exposure. Because the slowest Nikon flash duration is around 1/830 of a second, a stationary subject lighted by it should always be crisp if flash is the primary source of light. Poor hand holding skills or subject movement, on the other hand, may cause the backdrop to become soft or blurry.

When the main exposure for the subject is to be delivered by flash, we recommend using the Standard TTL or Automatic flash mode. All balanced fill flash modes, including the now-ubiquitous TTL BL, have a tendency to underexpose the flash output.

Because photography is primarily concerned with light, employing a camera flash is an inevitable component of being a photographer. So, depending on your usage demands and budget, it all boils down to what you are comfortable with when purchasing a flash.
