Yongnuo YN560 IV Manual Speedlite – Built-in 2.4G Transceiver, 24–105 mm Zoom, Master & Slave Functionality

The Yongnuo YN560 IV is a high-performance manual speedlite that combines flexibility, power, and wireless control. Designed for photographers who demand control without dependency on camera TTL systems, it offers full manual control over flash output and zoom, with integrated 2.4G radio transceiver to manage multiple flashes in groups.

As a master unit, the YN560 IV lets you remotely control the output, zoom, and mode of other YN560 series flashes. As a slave, it can be triggered wirelessly or optically (S1 / S2 mode). Its zoom range from 24 to 105 mm (expandable to 18 mm via a diffuser panel) covers wide-angle through medium telephoto lighting needs. With a guide number of 190′ (at ISO 100 / 105mm) and a compact form factor (175 × 73 × 52 mm), it’s capable without bulk.

While the YN560 IV lacks TTL and high-speed sync support, it excels in manual setups where you want full control, consistency across shots, and the ability to orchestrate multiple units from a single controller.
