YONGNUO YN685 N GN60 2.4G System i-TTL HSS Wireless Flash Speedlite with Radio Slave for Nikon

I won't get into all the details as others have covered it but with the YN622n-TX controller you can have multi channel off camera TTL that uses UHF for communication and it works with X-Series Fuji camera. I've used it with X-Pro2, X100f, X100s and X-T2 and it's worked perfectly with all. You must use the Nikon, NOT the Canon version. Bonus that the X100 series camera's sync at very high speeds because of their leaf shutter so shooting formals at a wedding in bright sun is no problem. Power could be better as they have about 2 stops less power than the high end Canon or Nikon strobes but at 1/4 the price you can always buy 2 to double the power. The camera's flash system does most of the work but even in difficult side lit low-key photos like I attached, the YN685 does a great job.

Great value for the price. Works very well for professional use, just make sure you always have backup

I am very happy with this Speedlite. Tonight, I unboxed it and tossed it on the camera to see how well it handled shooting in darkened room. The photo below was taken while bouncing the light off of the ceiling, giving some nice diffused light for my cat. I realize that some may not think this is a great test, but I have to tell you that I think it is. When you have an uncooperative subject, you need to be able to focus quick and take the shot while you have it. Keep in mind that I just flipped my camera to 800iso, Aperture priority and set the flash to i-TTL. Great shots and I can't wait to take more.The best part is, if I break one on a photoshoot, it won't break the bank. I guess I should get a wireless trigger and couple more of these flashes now. :)

I bought two of these and use them with the 622 wireless trigger.Build quality is good not great. The battery barn doors will not stay closed with eneloop batteries installed and one flash is so bad that the plastic door guides broke off and now I use tape to keep it closed. So yeah.As has been said by others they overheat fairly easy.They lose connection with the 622 unit often. But I do not know if this is a flash issue or the trigger.I inquired about warranty repair and I was told I would have to send the units to Hong Kong. This would not only be expensive but time intensive and in my opinion not at all worth it. That said they were $100All in all for the money I am happy with what I have although I wish I would have spent more and got a higher quality product with warranty service that was less cumbersome.

I was using two older flashes that did not have ttl and wanted that feature since I need a second and third off camera flash. I saw these and said let's give it a try. Wow they are really good. the quality of the build is nice and the flashes have worked without any issues for the first 100 shots. I am using them with the Yongnuo 622n TX and the radio communications is great no need for a 622N or 603 receiver since it can do both. I will be trying these with some Gels and shooting through an umbrella next but do not see anything that would lead me to believe that the can handle the job.Finally a good enough flash with all the modern day features that is 1/3 the cost of of the second level flash the big camera makers produce.

Purchased two of these and had a chance to take them through a number of indoor shoots in the past year.Overall - I am very disappointed. One stopped working about a couple of months after purchase - both the optical sensor and connection to radio just wouldn't make the flash unit fire. The only way it would work is if it's in a hot shoe on the camera. Oftentimes the flash would work for about 20 minutes and then stop reacting to photosensor or radio. After about 6 months the second unit started exhibiting same behaviors. Units are not overheating, full batteries - just stop responding to sensor or connector. I didn't expect much from these, but had they at least worked as advertised - I wouldn't be concerned. But my uses with these are few and far between, so they are not overtaxed, not constantly overheated, kept in cool dry place in the pouches they came in, used indoors only with three different brands of rechargeables (Eneloops, Energizer, and Amazon) and PocketWizard radios.Not going to spend a single dime on this brand anymore. At this point, I am just saving up for another Nikon SB unit.

It was fine when it worked. Over the course of owning it, I used it less than probably 10 times. Always removed the batteries after use, and put fresh ones in each time. I went to use it today, and the flash wont even turn on.

I would say that for the price you just simply cannot beat this flash. I never use this flash directly on the hot shoe, I use it with the available YN622N II which is simply amazing. I photography weddings and was previously using SB910s and triggers to remotely fire them, these have triggers built in! I will say this doesn't seem as bright as the SB910 at full power(I can deal with this) but the ease of use and the full control of the remote flashes(better IMO than Pocket Wizards) is just wonderful. If you're on the fence get a few of these and the YN622N II for the price of one Nikon SB910 and go to town! I attached some photos all taken with the YN685 flashes. Check out [...] for more examples.(UPDATE)Okay, so after using these for a few months I still like them. With that being said I dropped these to 4 stars because I have already had a battery door break on me. Not a huge problem just jumped on Ebay and ordered a new door, 5 bucks or so. Just be careful with the battery door and enjoy!
