Hi everyone , newbie here .

Would like to know more about flash , been hunting on YN560IV , thinking to buy two at once .

How are these flash perform ? Should be no issue i perhaps . If yes please let us know biggrin.gif

If let say i want to place this two flash on flash stand but not on my hot shoe , how can i trigger it ?

I understand that it act as a trigger nor receiver , 1 YN540IV can trigger other flash as well when hot shoe mount trigger the flash .

Any item i need to buy in order to make it work ?

Thank You in advance !

You need the yongnuo 560tx controller to control them. They are great cheap off camera flashes.

But their radio signals are easily interfered with. Like if you shoot at a building rooftop with lots of antennas and satellites around they might not work properly.

When no radio conflicts they usually work perfect.

You can buy it from Lazada, 7 days return policy.

For AA batteries, you can look for Fujitsu low self discharge rechargeable battery too since it is made in Japan.
