With a guide number of 60′ at ISO 100 and 200mm, this YN860Li Lithium Speedlite from Yongnuo is a portable lighting option for those that do not require TTL functionality. Built into it is a wireless transceiver, allowing it to be fired remotely at distances of up to 328′ or used as a master to directly control the mode and output of compatible flashes. Additionally, it can also be used as an optical slave for multi-flash setups without radio transmission. The speedlight offers a wide zoom range of 24 to 200mm, with the ability to have its wide panel pulled out for an ever wider spread and softer light quality.
The YN860Li runs on a rechargeable 1800mAh lithium-ion battery, lending it a fast recycle time that does not exceed 1.5 seconds as well as the ability to fire 700 full-power pops per charge. High-speed continuous shooting is supported, and the flash also boasts a multi mode for configuring a stroboscopic effect. The entire unit rotates 270° horizontally and tilts 90° up for easy bouncing in nearly any direction. Flash durations from 1/200 to 1/20,000 are possible depending on settings.
