NEEWER TT560 Camera Speedlite GN38
Product description
This compact camera flash is built for photographers and content creators who need consistent manual lighting for portraits and studio work. It delivers a stable daylight tone at around 5600K and offers a useful GN38 guide number at ISO 100, so you can control output across eight manual power levels from 1/128 to 1/1. For those who shoot tethered or off camera, the TT560 supports optical slave modes and a PC sync port, making it a flexible addition to a basic lighting kit. 📸
Key features
The TT560 focuses on reliable manual control with simple, repeatable results. It has a recycle time ranging from 0.1 to 5 seconds depending on power and battery condition, and flash durations between 1/300 and 1/20000s according to the manufacturer. It does not support TTL or HSS and cannot be controlled from the camera menu, which keeps operation straightforward but requires manual adjustment when shooting.

What stands out
Rotation and positioning are flexible, with vertical tilt from 0 to 90° and horizontal rotation up to 270°, which helps shape light for headshots or product images. The optical S1 and S2 slave modes let the unit act as a secondary flash in multi-light setups, while the PC sync socket permits wired triggering when optical triggering is impractical. A red indicator warns when batteries run low, and built in protection reduces overheating risk during longer sessions.
Who it suits
It makes sense if you want a low-cost manual speedlight to learn off camera flash techniques and to add fill or accent lighting without complex settings, especially for studio shoots and influencer content where consistent colour is helpful. It may not suit you if you rely on TTL automation, high speed sync or camera menu control, because those features are not supported by this model.
