A powerful manual speedlite flash for photographers wanting an affordable off-camera or on-camera flash for creative lighting.
The Yongnuo Speedlite YN560-II is a manual hot-shoe flash designed for photographers who want simple, adjustable flash power without TTL automation. It is a popular budget-friendly flash for portraits, product photography, studio setups, weddings, events, off-camera lighting, and learning flash photography.
This flash has manual power control, bounce and swivel head movement, zoom control, optical slave modes, LCD display, and standard hot-shoe compatibility. It can be used on-camera with compatible hot shoes or off-camera with radio triggers, optical triggering, or manual flash setups.
Important note: the battery door is broken and needs tape over it to hold it closed properly. The flash is best suited to someone who doesn’t mind a functional/cosmetic issue and wants a cheap manual flash for learning, backup use, or off-camera lighting.
A useful little light cannon with one small goblin flaw: the battery door needs persuasion.

Why you’ll love it
The Yongnuo YN560-II is a great flash for anyone learning manual lighting. It gives you control over flash power, direction, bounce, and off-camera setups without the cost of a more expensive branded speedlite.
It’s especially handy for photographers who use radio triggers, studio-style setups, or simple manual lighting. Because it doesn’t rely on TTL, it’s straightforward, predictable, and easy to use once you understand basic flash power.
The broken battery door makes this more of a budget working flash than a polished retail-perfect item, but if you’re happy to tape the door closed, it can still be a useful light for experiments, backup, or off-camera setups.
