YONGNUO YN968EX-RT FLASH ANNOUNCED Yongnuo has announced a new flash - YN968EX-RT. The flash is compatible with Canon’s RT radio system and has both Master and Slave modes built-in. This means it is compatible with Yongnuo’s YN600EX-RT speedlite and YN-E3-RT trigger as well as Canon’s own 600EX-RT (both first and second version), 430EX III-RT speedlites and ST-E3-RT controller. YN968EX-RT also features a built-in Optical Wireless slave mode compatible with both Canon and Niko...n’s systems as well the standard S1 and S2 optic slave modes. To complete the sync options there’s also a PC sync port. What is more interesting is that the speedlite has a new body and flash head design and on one side of the flash head there is a LED light. This light can be handy to help focus in dark environments, to use as a modeling light or to add catch lights in the model’s eyes. The brightness of the LED can be adjusted and there’s also a built-in diffuser, as well as an orange (CTO) clip-on filter for tungsten light color correction. It remains to be seen how powerful and useful the 3 LED lights will be. https://pixelcam.ca//69_Yongnuo-YN968EX-RT-Flash-Announced
