Neewer TT560
Score: 70/100
Yongnuo YN14EX
Score: 36/100Rankings
The Neewer TT560 is an affordable, manual-control speedlite with a solid GN38, fast low-power recycle and useful overheat protection, but it lacks TTL, HSS and built-in wireless features.
The YN-14EX macro ring flash offers TTL, adjustable flash-ratio, and LED assist for close-up work at a budget price, though it lacks HSS and a robust build.
