Yongnuo YN560 IV
Score: 78/100
Godox GN33
Score: 68/100Rankings
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 Godox TT520III provides an affordable, compact flash with 33 m guide number and built-in 433 MHz wireless triggering. It lacks TTL, high-speed sync and a built-in diffuser, limiting its use for advanced lighting setups. Suited for budget-conscious DSLR shooters needing a portable fill flash and basic wireless capability.

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.
