Yongnuo YN968N is an innovative reporter lamp, combining the advantages of flashing and continuous light. The lamp has a built-in receiver allowing radio communication with the camera in the Yongnuo YN622 and YN560 system.

The characteristic feature of YN986N is the head, equipped with two light sources: a flash burner and a panel with LED diodes. The lamp generates a flash with the guide number GN 60 (ISO 100, 105mm). High power combined with short charging times guarantees immediate readiness to operate at any time. In unfavorable lighting conditions, the LED panel comes in handy to facilitate focusing and correct framing of the scene.

The lamp head offers an extremely wide range of motion, which makes it easy to quickly position the burner in the desired direction. Automatic (and manual) zoom of the lamp, diffusers (on both light sources) and reflector allow for creative lighting selection for the selected scene.

The Yongnuo lamp has been equipped with a sync mode with HSS (up to 1/8000 s) shutter speed and the TTL flash output automation system, extremely useful in variable lighting conditions.

A clear LCD display with backlight and intuitive and feature-rich menus ensure comfort of use. Large, comfortable buttons allow you to operate the lamp even when wearing gloves. It is possible to enable and disable sound signals that inform you of charge and readiness for re-flashing.

The built-in radio receiver enables wireless communication in the Yongnuo YN622 and YN560 system.

YN968N can be used as a "master" unit to control other YN968N, YN685 lamps and YN622N, YN622N II triggers.

In "slave" mode, YN968N can receive radio signal from other YN968N lamps and triggers YN622N, YN622N II, YN622N-TX, YN560-TX, RF605, RF-603.

YN986N can also be used in the optical flash control system. In "slave" mode the lamp can receive optical signal from Yongnuo YN568EX II, Canon 580EX II, Nikon SB-700, SB-800, SB-900, SB-910 and built-in Canon camera lights (600D, 60D, 7D) and Nikon .

The lamp can also be triggered by a flash in manual mode S1 and S2. This allows basic wireless communication with almost all flash units available on the market.

The built-in PC port allows you to trigger the flash also via a cable.

Yongnuo YN968N is powered by four AA batteries. The lamp has a socket to connect an additional power supply and a mini USB port to update the software. The lamp foot has been protected against adverse weather conditions by a rubber gasket.

The set includes a practical cover, a CTO filter for the LED panel and a stand with a 1/4 "female stand mount.
