Yongnuo is known mainly for their affordable, but mostly reliable, flash triggers and knock off speedlights. The Chinese company just announced another budget lighting product, the new YN-14m ring flash.
Yongnuo already produces the YN-14EX, which is E-TTL compatible, but with the 14-M they decided to go back to basics. The Yongnuo YN-14M is an all manual ringlight that keeps things simple, which makes it compatible with most camera systems.
YN-14M Product Specs
- Double Lamp System
- Large, Easy To Read LCD
- LED AF Assist Beam
- PC-Sync Connection
- External Power Socket
- Supports multiple filter sizes: 52mm, 58mm, 62mm, & 67mm
- 3-5 second Recycle Time
Overall, this looks like a solid manual ring flash unit. I may pick one up to do a review, if that is something you all would be interested in. The noteworthy thing here is the price: these are just now hitting Ebay at around $100 US, which virtually the same price as its older brother that has TTL support.

Since I’m a Nikon shooter, this appears to be my only choice for this novelty. Have many uses for it, but would love to see a hands on review.
Awesome!
Hello! I recently just added the Neewer JY-670 to my arsenal (link below). Could you do a review of the Neewer(viltrox) JY-670 in comparison to this Yongnuo YN-14M? From what I’m seeing here is that it’s basically the same exact product with just a different name on it.
Thanks!

I’d love to see a review!
I second this.
I also second this …wait can i do that ?
Guess we all are waiting for a review
Snazzy. I would buy this if it works. Particularly the AF Assist Beam feature. The blocked AF Assist has always been a hinderence with the adapter-style ring flashes like RayFlash or the O-Flash. Please feel free to review the product.
