Neewer TT560
Score: 70/100
Yongnuo YN560 IV
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Yongnuo YN560 IV is a budget-friendly manual speedlite that doubles as a 2.4 GHz radio transmitter, offering solid output and long wireless range for photographers comfortable with manual control. Its lack of TTL, HSS and reliance on AA batteries limit its appeal for fast-paced or fully automated shooting.
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.
