YN568 EXII High Speed Sync Test

 So you want to see what the YN568 EXII can do in high speed sync? Well you are not alone. The YN568 EX II is what is known as a Canon 580 EX II killer. It possesses almost all of the same features for a fraction of the price. Canon cost over $500 brand new, while the YN568 EXII is only around $124.00

High speed sync is needed when you want your speedlite to perform properly over 1/200 or 1/250 of a second depending on the brand of camera you own. You often need high speed sync when shooting outdoors during brighter daylight conditions. To see this type of flash trigger a manual flash not capable of high speed sync on its own I have made this video for you. It will save you both time and money. You will need the YN568EXII as a Master and a much cheaper YN560 Speedlite as well to fire off camera.

The YN560 Speedlite is very simple and affordable, see what others are rating this flash Here

The YN568EXII can be purchased Here to save $61.00 !

Watch this video I have made to show you exactly how this YN568EXII works to trigger a manual flash.



Hope you enjoyed the video. If you have any questions or concerns please ask. Thanks a lot and hope you enjoy your new flashes!

SnapChick - Canon Rebel T3i / 600D Review

Hey everybody I am back to discuss a Canon Rebel T3i/600D Review by SnapChick!

So you are thinking about purchasing a Canon Rebel T3i or 600D DSLR camera? Well I have one myself and absolutely love it and I am seriously thinking about buying a second Canon T3i DSLR as a back-up camera. See what others are saying about the Canon T3i Here
Adorama was kind enough to send a Canon T3i/600D DSLR for her to review, I don't know if she was allowed to keep it.

Specification include 18 MP Crop Sensor which she says is plenty for entry level DSLR cameras.

Custom white balance settings are available on this camera. SnapChick goes over all of the details such as the 9 auto focus points, picture style settings that allow for a custom look, and three auto focus functions.

This camera's variable auto focus functions make it suitable to photograph still life as well as moving wildlife!

You can skip the basic modes, like portrait, auto, and scene basic modes such as sports mode for freezing motion. Well you don't have to take my word for it. Watch her video below and see for yourself.





SnapChick sums up that the Canon T3i or 600D which is actually the same camera, is perfect for beginners or those just starting out because of its high quality for the price and its ease of use. If you enjoy SnapChick be sure to check out our next blog/video tutorial and review. Buy the Canon T3i Now
