I want to update my off camera flash system to Youngnuo. I prefer a Manual system. But want the ease of control the YN560TX unit brings. What I cant find out is, if it can be used on a Pentax camera (K5ii - K7) ? Is anyone currently using this off camera system...?

I have had one for a few weeks, and it works well on my K3, with 2 yongnuo flashes, even works with my compacts.

No problem
I'm very new to manual flash, and was astounded the Yonguo can fire while the K3 is in high fps mode, great little units.

I just have the Yongnuo 560 II, and it works fine on, or off, body (a K20 in my case), and the same with a compact as well.
Reckon the build quality is rather good as well.

I have the yn560iii flash units. Is there a flash that is better value for money than these ? I wanted the unit for when I put the flash inside an octobox. It really is a pain to change the settings. For 25-30 quid. This will be a dream come true..

You cant turn the power up and down on the YN560II though Jeff. Makes a big difference on a multiple off camera set up.

Oh gosh, mine has adjustable output. Do you think I should send it back?

But joking apart, my YN560II has a range of power settings accessed with the 4-way control button set.

I was referring to the fact that you cant remotely adjust power settings using the YN560TX controller. On the MKII version of the flashgun.
