I don't know if HSS is really going to do anything for me. Meanwhile, I can actually take my flash way off the camera easily and still use ETTL. (Price of a canon 430ex II used) I won't have HSS, but that's about it. I'm thinking of just buying a YN-468 II and a couple YN-622C's. For me not having hss is a bit of a bummer. With my cowboy studio triggers they are fun to mess with and give lots of useable light. They're built well and I've not had any issues yet. These are awesome for someone that wants to get into this, but doesn't want to spend lots of cash (or can't spend lots of cash) on flashes. The 560's are powerful, and are good to use for multi-flash (manual) applications. If you need flash and don't want to keep messing with settings, it good.
the ettl is nice and it's pretty accurate. The 430 is a good flash for learning, and general applications. You can do ETTL of camera for an extra $50, for a long ETTL cord. If you are going to freeze motion of dancers you can use flash duration to stop motion but your flash needs to be about two stops more powerful than the ambient (meaning dark backgrounds) or you can use shutter speed and HSS which also diminishes power and gives dark backgrounds so one light isnt optimal for what you are doing. then I need $400 in pocketwizards to get ETTL to work, yes? Dancers change their distance from me a lot.ĮDIT: Derp. However, HSS is nice.Īnd yeah, I need ETTL now that I think about it. As well, I think they have one with HSS now? But, I think that one is more expensive than the Canon 430EX II.Īlso, if I do use HSS at significant shutter speeds wouldn't that basically diminish any background lighting and the only thing being seen would be what the flash puts out? (Which isn't going to be fantastic looking?) The dancing will be indoors and quite low on available light unfortunately.
I know there are Yongnuo's that do have ETTL but are significantly more expensive. And for some reason I thought that the YN-560 had ETTL. I would recommend the canon, but my experience with the newer YN's is almost nothing.įor some reason I was thinking that the Canon 430EX II didn't have HSS. Another feature you may want for dance is HSS (high speed sync). In off camera use its less important, but can still be useful. ETTL is particularly useful in situations where you have constantly changing lighting and camera to subject distance.
There are YN flashes that have ETTL, but I'm not up on which models offer it. If this is going to be your only flash you really want one with the ETTL capability.
