Neewer TT560 Flash Speedlite for Canon Sony Nikon Panasonic Olympus Pentax and Other DSLR Cameras, Digital Camera Speedlight with Standard Hot Shoe

Flash quality =8 of 10 - battery life was okay but I do recommend buying a backup if your shooting a wedding. It has great control options allowing you to adjust as you need for lighting it was quick to recharge and was great for the functionality I needed it for (indoor wedding Dark church) was a great price for what I got. It does need some educational support it wasn’t as intuitive as I hoped but that’s what you tube is for :)

I've owned this for many years, but have only used it off and on a few times. It is a great beginner flash, especially now if you can get it for $50. I paid $38 years ago and though its not advanced it still puts out nice white light. There are many products that compete with it now. I say $50 because Godox and Neewer are still releasing products at close enough prices that make this less of a bargain. It will either be discontinued or dropped in price. So i would wait for this to not be $55. This is a basic go-to speed lite that works with all cameras with a functional hot shoe. It will eat your AA batteries when put it to work, and those batteries will get hot if you are shooting fast. It can just barely get you by at events. But it is workable if you work within its capabilities. You will be working at the speed of the light if you are trying to catch fleeting action in indoor settings. This is better for indoor portraiture and posed photobooth like setups that can provide the flash some time to recharge between shots. I think since it lacks the features of wireless triggering and a screen it probably gives you the best output for the AA batteries used , but i could be wrong. This is really for beginners, folks that are strapped for cash, but knowledgeable enough to use this, or folks that need gear that can be stolen for minimal loss.

I purchased this flash back in 2021. At the time I had a Nikon D750 and it worked perfectly. This was my first flash I have ever purchased and it really did its job. I wish the cycling time was a little quicker especially when photographing weddings and lots of movement involved. However, over all it did its jobs. It provided good quality pictures, it was easy to use and it was great for its price. I recently upgraded to a Canon Mirrorless R6 Mark ii and tried tested it and WOW! It performed so well.

I bought two of these as I enter the world of strobist photography without a clue as to what I'm doing. This is by no means an expert review, but if you are an expert photographer, you're probably buying a fancier flash. This is for the beginner like myself.1. Both the hotshoe and the extra flash stand have a tripod mounting thread, so you don't need to buy extra hardware to mount this on a typical tripod.2. The interface on the back of the flash is dead simple. +/- to change flash brightness, a few slave modes, test button, power button. Piece of cake.3. The slave flash modes worked flawlessly. Even when turning the sensor away from the trigger flash, it went off without any issues.4. The pull-out "wide panel" is a nice touch, but I've yet to see it make a real big difference in my test shots.5. There have been a few instances where the flash went off twice while shooting. Once on shutter press, and once about a second afterwards. Might be might fault as a beginner, might be the wireless transmitter, and it isn't ruining the shot or anything...but something to be aware of.I'm glad I made this purchase. Both flashes are working reliably with wireless transmitters and I've been having lots of fun doing strobist-type stuff. The sync speed is 1/180th of a second. It took me a while to figure out that this meant that I couldn't use a shutter speed faster than this. So 1/200th of a second wouldn't work. So what I end up doing is shooting in manual mode, putting the shutter at 1/160th, and then changing the aperture and flash brightness to control the exposure. Just a heads up for a beginners who have never shot w/ an external flash before.One other note. I bought a $25 flash off ebay last year. It was 100x worse than this thing. It had two settings..on/off. It was difficult to get it to flash at times. the construction was cheap and difficult to use. For the price, this TT560 is an excellent flash. Just be careful about going any cheaper, as the lower-end stuff is almost worthless.

I got one of these and the wireless triggers, after a day of shooting portraits I bought another flash.Works great with my Panasonic GH4, Canon 80d, and Canon 5d3.For portraits, weddings, and products these things are amazing for the price.Insane value compared to the hundreds of dollars for other flashes.At full power these things are pretty bright, not as bright as some strobes I've used, but bright.Doubled up (see photo) they are throw a lot of light around, great when using a lot of diffusion.Though this is not necessary for normal shoots. In fact, I don't usually do this.Just thought the photo looked cool so I uploaded it.Battery life is so good I don't worry about it. (I use high cap rechargeables.)Overall build quality is good, hot shoe mount is solid enough.They are made of hardy plastic. I dropped one on my foot from about 10 feet up, and while it hurt my foot, the flash was fine.Note these are fully manual so you kind of have to know what you're doing, but it's easy enough to pick up.Using fully manual camera, lenses, and flashes, teaches you a lot about photography.The only real CON is that the wireless triggers don't work if they are within about 2 feet from the transmitter.Which is a pain if you want the flash off camera, but still quite close.For example I wasI found if I covered the transmitter with my hand it would fire, but without covering it it wouldn't. Strange.But that's really a knock on the transmitter, the flash works great.If you're just getting into flashes, I'd recommend starting here.For $35, it's a steal.
