Product Reviews

Excellent build quality, seems like an ideal first speedlight

This is my first speedlight and my first experience using one. The Andoer AD-560II I received to review is the one listed as “only flash” vs “flash plus trigger,” and I’ve only used it ON camera (specifically a Nikon D5100, as shown in my photos).I’m powering it with 4 AA size rechargeable Eneloop batteries. The light recharges fast; just a couple of seconds between shots, though this can change if the light is used on full power/brightness.In order to use it on my Nikon D5100, I cannot have the D5100 on Automatic mode, for when it’s in Automatic the built-in flash automatically pops up even though this speedlight is attached. (The speedlight on the D5100 prevents the built-in flash from popping up all the way, but the built-in flash still flashes, so it’s essential that a mode other than Automatic be used when using the speedlight on-camera. Based on what I’ve read, this is not unique to this speedlight but is just the way it is when using any speedlight on the D5100, and this may apply to other DSLRs as well.)From the start I found using this speedlight (on camera) fairly intuitive, and the user manual is easy to follow.The light head is easily angled and swiveled, making it easy to bounce the light off ceilings, walls, reflectors, and umbrellas. In my experience, for taking shots indoors in dimly lit rooms in the evening (i.e., with no light from outside coming in through windows), I can get good lighting with the speedlight on the lowest power/brightness setting and bouncing the light off an off-white ceiling. High power/brightness levels result in completely whited-out photos. James Stewart’s character in Rear Window would’ve appreciated this speedlight, which can be triggered independently of a camera or external trigger via the pilot button. (For some reason, the button on speedlights that enable users to test the lights are called pilot buttons.)I will update this review if I have any problems with this speedlight. The build quality seems excellent and given the current retail price (just under forty), I’m impressed. Nothing about it looks or feels cheap or second rate and for this amateur photographer it does what I need it to do, which is to provide brighter light and is more versatile (i.e., that it can be angled and swiveled) than the built-in D5100 flash, and is I assume brighter than Nikon’s least expensive external flash (which cannot be angled or swiveled sells for three times or more than what this speedlight sells for).This speedlight’s mount slides perfectly into and out of the Nikon D5100 hot shoe. The fit is snug but not at all overly tight, and I barely feel the need to tighten the locking ring on the speedlight.The packaging is professional and protective. The speedlight comes with a carrying/storage case, that has a Velcro strap on the back for attaching it to camera bag straps, etc. Like the speedlight itself, the case looks and feels high quality. As those of us who buy brand name accessories for our DSLRs know, prices for brand name accessories can sometimes seem ridiculously inflated. And in some cases I’m okay paying what I think may be a ridiculously inflated price because of the confidence I have in the brand (e.g., Nikon). But as someone who is new to the use of speedlights and who isn’t sure just how much use I’ll get out of one, I was in the market for a budget-priced speedlight (meaning, under a hundred and ideally closer to fifty) when I was so very fortunate to be offered a sample AD-560II to review. For me it’s a great first speedlight. There’s no comparison between using this Andoer AD-560II Speedlight and using my D5100’s built-in flash, which since I’ve owned my D5100 I’ve found to be not very useful because of it’s limitations (i.e., fixed brightness which ain’t that bright, and it cannot be angled or swiveled).As noted, I received a sample Andoer AD-560II Speedlight to review.

Great flash

I was surprised when I received this Flash. This is a perfect flash meets my needs completely. This is a surprisingly good flash for the price. It provides a bright burst of light that’s great for studio photography. The light is pure white and even with the diffuser on, is bright enough to illuminate what I need it to. Excellent product, easy to use, well made and full of accessories.Great works on my camera without any adapter on and very durable though not high price. If you must have a flash that in the non-professional daily, AD-560II seems to me the best, Especially considering the value or price of, a photography enthusiast might find at a reasonable price. If you do not have too many claims in terms of temperature and continuity of the quality and intensity of lightning, I would say you can not do any better on the market. I recommend this product to all photographers who may need.This flash provided by supplier for a test and a review impartial and hones. I hope to be proved helpful to make an informed decision on the article.

Cheap and useful light

This Flash are really well done. Mind you now, the Flash is great, I would say superb when compared to the price.Beyond this, the device looks really solid, the plastic is not ““plasticky”“, and the impression one receives by holding it in your hand is a good solidity. The controls, despite their simplicity, are absolutely functional.Practically you can adjust the 4 modes of intervention, (supports M / S1 / S2 /LED mode.).The swivel head makes it even more useful. It can be tilted in very small increments/ decrements until you achieve the best position to create the perfect bounce flash. It has an inbuilt diffuser and a real external diffuser is also included in the box to sweaten the deal.I received this product for free in exchange for my honest unbiased interview. If the product is good it will be rated good. If it’s bad then I will judge it accordingly.

AD-560IIspeedlight flash

I receiving a Free Samples send from supplier and this ratings are based on my experience with the product.I would like to say the relationship between quality and price is great for those who are beginners, they can seem even pennies for this little gem. Also I must say the presentation of the package is very good. With such a cheap price I was given so many different accessories. The flash is very good, I have yet to try it several times to be able to recommend their eyes closed but certainly given the price is a good deal to start using the flash. Device exactly to the characteristics variables presented in the online description, supports M / S1 / S2 / mode, etc. Universal Flash GN50. Product valid in all its components and fully functional.Next purchase a decent tripod … I think I’ll try one of Andoer.

Simple but powerful

I was pleased to receive this flash for free in return for an independent and unbiased review.Excellent flash, clear screen with illuminated display, full manual control, adjustable head, power adjustable according to the need, I use it in M/S with other flash or controlled directly with triggers,the flash is great, the discrete operating times and rely on light you must give to the photos, I use it for my Nikon. I had a great easy to use, fast charging in.
