YN600EX-RT preview

Hi all,

I once wondered wether YN has a legal department that can cope with Canon’s complains, I hope they have cause this one is really  wired…

However, the guys at yongnou after making their replica to the Canon hi end flash trigger (Canon ST-E3) they continued and made their replice to the Canon 600EX…

I have to say that the both look very much the same!

YN600RT-EX Preview:

When it comes to specs, I really like the YN gear, they deliver the best “on paper” value per $$$, they have their issues with quality control, but as far of the specs, they are leading the 3rd party companies by a mile.

What are we getting with this piece? a lot!

What do we think about he YN600EX-RT?

I’m very pleased with previous YN gear I have. I use it for wedding photography, so it is used relatively heavily. This one looks to be the next steal by YN, for the photographers who need it.

As with YN’s previous flash hits, it will all ends about the money, we saw the YN600EX-RT on eBay starting at about 180$!!! that’s less than a third of the price you’ll pay for the Canon and keeps the price ratio similar to the YN568EX.

Conclusion:

I guess YN is about release their new flash hit soon, then we will be there to judge!
