Following the Profoto and Godox (or is it Flashpoint?) lead, third party Camera accessories makers Yongnuo have announced that they will be debuted a round head flash, that comes with built-in LED modeling light before the end of 2020.
Unlike the Profoto A Series and Godox V1, the new Yongnuo flash doesn’t come with it’s own battery but instead, uses 4 Double-A batteries like other speedlights which increases the recycle time and off cost, will cost extra money. According to Yongnuo, the new YN650EX-RF speedlight is equipped with 24 LED lamp “beads” that add “charming eye light” to photos. The company says the LEDs are also dimmable at 100 different levels, which makes it more than just a simple modeling light but one that is specifically designed to create images on its own
The flash has a built-in 2.4G transceiver and includes TTL, Manual, Multi, or multi-group mixed mode flash options. Below are the full manufacturer specifications:
- GN 60 (ISO-100, at 200mm zoom)
- Oval-Shaped Flash Head
- 28–105mm zoom
- 24 LEDs, brightness adjustable from 1–100%
- 2-4 second recycle time
- Canon E-TTL and high-speed sync up to 1/8000 second
- Built-in Yongnuo 2.4GHz RF transceiver, with 16 channels and wireless TTL
- Supports Canon EX optical transmission system (commander and remote)
Pricing for the speedlight isn’t available yet but is expected to drop before the end of November.
