Aperlite YH-500C Professional Flash for Canon Digital SLR Camera, Supports TTL, Wireless S1 S2 Modes

This flash doesn't work with the Yongnuo YN-622C triggers both on-camera (TTL pass through) as well as off-camera (remote mode).I have tested it multiple times, multiple configurations ad multiple resets, but no use.I bought a Neewer/Voking VK581  Neewer E-TTL Master Slave Speedlite Flashlight *High-Speed Sync* for Canon Rebel T5i T4i T3i T3 T2i T1i SL1, EOS 700D 650D 600D 1100D 550D 500D 100D 300D 350D 400D 5D Mark III 5D Mark II 7D 30D 40D 50D and all Other Canon Models  and it worked splendidly without any excuses both on and off camera with the Yongnuo triggers. Of course, the YH-700C belongs to this category of full featured flashes when compared to the Neewer/Voking but still, I expected this to work.I have also ordered a Neewer 622C  Neewer NW622C FSK 2.4Ghz 7 Channel Wireless E-TTL High Speed Sync Flash Transceiver Trigger and Receiver for Canon 5D Mark II, 5D Mark III, 1Ds Mark III, 1D Mark IV, 1D Mark III, 7D, 60D, 50D, 40D, 450D/Xsi, 500D/T1i, 550D/T2i, 600D/T3i, 650D/T4i, 1000D/XS, 1100D/T3; Canon 5D, 10D, 20D, 30D, 300D, 350D, 1D, 1D Mark II Cameras; Canon 600EX, 580EX, 580EX II, 430EX, 430EX II, 320EX, 270EX, 270EX  which looks exactly as the Yongnuo triggers to try and see if they work with this flash but I really doubt it.With the Yongnuo, it can only be used with the in-flash settings and cannot be controlled remotely and neither can the menu be changed remotely from the camera. Only the flash trigger pin gets activated and the settings do not pass in any modes.The camera flash itself works fine when controlled with the in-flash menu and the flash light although seems powerful, somehow feels a lot less powerful than the Voking at the same power levels. I would say, 1/1 of the Voking nearly blinds you even if aimed away from you but 1/1 of the Aperlite is still agreeably bright to look at when held away from your eyes, just not as bright. Menu settings are good, easy to access and change.Overall, I give it a 3 star since I can only control it on-camera and not off camera, with just one flash. Of couse, I can have this in slave mode and use another flash to control it or use a TTL cord to extend it a little more than a few feet but not real wireless.The YH-700C on the other hand, seems to work with the Yongnuo as mentioned in the gadgeeter review. http://the-gadgeteer.com/2015/05/21/aperlite-yh-700c-camera-flash-review/Hope this helps someone since I spent more than a week asking people all around the Internet and posting questions even under the Yongnuo products but no one had a proper answer.*UPDATE: This works well with the Neewer NW-622C flash trigger. For a lesser price the Yongnuo, the Neewer seems to support all the features the Yongnuo supports and also better it in handling and speedlite support. One thing I did notice is that it gives 1 or 2 stops lesser light than the Neewer/Voking mode. I think I might be returning this and get another Voking since it seems to support a lot of features which I might use sometime later and also seems to be supported by other triggers. :)

For the price I wasn't expecting much, so it has been a pleasant surprise as far as the flash, battery life and function. For on camera this works great as a back-up flash. The reason I bought it was for OCF (off camera flash) to use with remotes. It can be done, HOWEVER the sleep mode kicks in within just a few short minutes and it's useless at that point unless you are right on top of the flash and can turn it back on. The manual was a joke and we have found no way what so ever to adjust the "sleep mode" to be set longer so that it's more useful as an OCF. For this inconvenient reason (which was the reason I bought it) I gave it 3 stars.

I bought the YH-500C (apparently not available anymore), specifically for my Canon T5. The C designates it as Canon compatible, and provides E-TTL communication between the camera and the flash, while the YH-400 is a manual-only flash.I've been a "serious amateur" photographer for many years and started with the Minolta X-series 35 mm cameras back in the mid 80s. Back then, I used a Sunpak flash, which I still have and still use.In the past, I haven't done a huge amount of flash photography, but the Sunpak always provided plenty of light when I did need it. I decided earlier this year to go ahead and try this flash, getting my first taste of TTL.This flash does everything I've asked of it, both in E-TTL mode, and in manual mode on Neweer remotes.With grandchildren now, I'm shooting a LOT of indoor photos with flash, and I'll take the time to put this flash on the camera rather than use the built-in flash every time.It did take a little experimentation to the get the exposure compensation set right, but that was the work of a few minutes.I love this flash, and for the price, it's impossible to beat.

Got lots of happy clients out of this flash and I'm pretty sure I'll get more along my journey to becoming a great photographer. This purchase was an excellent choice for the price. I've covered dinners, parties and presentations with my Canon Rebel T3i and this flash is the real deal. I would greatly recommend for any entry level photographer or anyone who is looking for a great affordable external flash. Excellent in Manual and TTL mode btw. Great bang for the buck! This one is a definite winner for Aperlite!

I felt I took a risk by purchasing an external flash online. Although I do mostly for hobby, I had needed one so I could use for a huge baby shower I was set to photograph and for future projects. I LOVE it! I have a Canon t3i and the photos do come out nicely. I have attached a photo for reference of a bridal shower I recently went to photograph.

It arrived on time and worked right out of the box. Funny, but I liked the box. Anyway, it seems well made and is accurate in auto mode. So I'm happy.

This is a great flash, works perfectly with my Canon Rebel T5i. Great value for the money!

My old flash finally gave up the ghost. Bought this and glad I got the TTL. Works great!

Just as good as cannon speedlight costing three times as much. Works really well with my d5. My only criticism is the battery flap, which seems very flimsy and difficult to close. I am really careful when closing and opening. Time will tell if this is a problem.

An excellent well-built flashgun at a ridiculously low price. Outstanding value. Why anyone would want to pay multiples of the price for a Canon or Nikon is beyond me - this does exactly the same job for a fraction of the cost.

Wanted a flash to improve my family portrait pics. Great item for the price and would recommend for amateur photographers. Haven't used it fully yet as few settings but pleased with item. Takes a few seconds to refresh but no problem if you're not in s rush.

Great value, much better then the pop up flash on the camera. Many features that I havent tried yet but working great. Well pleased.

Great flash at really reasonable price. Arrived quickly.
