Tonight's Free Strobist Gear Give Away
Yongnuo's YN460 Speedlight with the 3.5mm Synch Socket Mod
This speedlight comes in it's original box with stand, Velvet bag, and instructions. I have also included a 16 inch 2.5mm plug to a 3.5mm plug cable to use with the Yongnuo's CTR-301P Wireless Receivers, and plus as an added extra bonus, I have also added a soft white diffuser that fit's this flash and is also included in the box.
Now when modding this flash, I accidentally broke the wide angle diffuser, and that is why I am including the free soft white diffuser.

I have tested this flash by hotshoe, and also with the 3.5mm included sync cable. Everything checked out great, No misfires when using it with the CTR-301P wireless receiver. I also have checked out both of the optical sensor settings, and they also works great.
Now this is a great little flash unit with only that one minor problem of the broken wide angle diffuser

hey thanks again.
ReplyDeletefirst of all. i was surprised by the overall construction of this flash. it does feel a bit cheap. but it seems durable. the flash head does not zoom, but its ok. the head swivels and turns more than my sb-26.
now it is much smaller than my sb-26, and lighter. i find myself carrying this flash around at all times now. it is smaller, lighter than my sb-26 which i use to carry all the time.
it does seem to be less powerful than my sb-26. the recycle time seems quick and fast. and the power loss does not seem so much when fired rapidly.
i am very please, especially because of the feature that i LOVE that is similar to the sb-26. the built in Optical Slave. i love this feature.
i would recommend this as a slave flash and maybe even a main flash. if you need the head to zoom than obviously this would not be what you would want. but as a second flash its great. i am thinking of buying one again down the line.
you can check out some of the initial tests with this flash @ my flickr
