Yongnuo YN560 IV
Score: 78/100
Godox TT600
Score: 71/100Rankings
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 TT600 is a manual speedlite with a powerful GN60 output, built-in wireless X control and high-speed sync. Its drawbacks are the lack of TTL, reliance on AA batteries, and a limited tilt range without full head swivel. It suits budget-conscious photographers needing wireless multi-flash setups and HSS.

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.
Professional reviewers highlight its value as a budget manual flash with robust wireless features, noting the strong GN60 output, fast recycle, and extensive compatibility, while pointing out the lack of TTL as a trade-off.
Everyday users appreciate the flash's portability and wireless convenience, but commonly mention the inconvenience of relying on AA batteries and the desire for TTL functionality.
Choose YN560 IV for integrated wireless and higher output at a lower price; choose TT600 if TTL or HSS is required.
