Neewer TT560
Score: 53/100
Yongnuo YN560 IV
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Yongnuo YN560 IV is a manual speedlite with a strong GN58 output and integrated 2.4 GHz wireless system, offering a wide 24-105 mm zoom and fast 3-second recycle. Its lack of TTL and high-speed sync, plus limited three-group control, restrict advanced shooting scenarios. Ideal for budget-conscious photographers needing powerful off-camera flash without TTL.
The Neewer TT560 is a budget-friendly manual speedlite with a solid GN38 output and versatile head rotation. Its main trade-offs are the absence of TTL, high-speed sync, and a relatively slow full-power recycle. It is best suited for beginners and hobbyists needing an inexpensive indoor flash.

Professional reviewers consider the TT560 a solid entry-level manual flash, lauding its GN38 power, accurate 5600 K color, and extensive head rotation for creative indoor lighting, while noting its lack of TTL, HSS, and weather sealing makes it less suitable for advanced or outdoor work.
Everyday users commend the flash for its sturdy build, straightforward operation, and good value, especially for indoor portrait and product setups, but repeatedly mention the absence of TTL, slow full-power recycle, and occasional battery life inconsistencies as pain points.
Professional reviewers praise the YN560 IV for delivering higher output than the Nikon SB-700 at a fraction of the cost, fast recycle times with NiMH batteries, and a rich feature set that surpasses earlier YN560 models. However, they note its limitation to three remote groups and the lack of TTL and high-speed sync as drawbacks for more advanced multi-flash or high-speed shooting scenarios.
“works really well”
“comparable to other speedlights”
