The YN560 IV takes what everyone loved about the YN560 III and added the ability to be a wireless commander to other 2.4Ghz wireless devices like the YN560 III and RF-602/603 triggers. So, while the YN560 III could be triggered by a another wireless trigger, it could not do the triggering itself, the YN560 IV addresses that shortfall and gives the speedlight the ability to trigger other 2.4Ghz system receivers.
It is not clear what the new YN560 IV will cost at this point, but if you don’t care about having your speedlight do the triggering, you can still buy the [simpleazon-link asin=”B00BXA7N6A” locale=”us”]YN560 III for about 80[/simpleazon-link]. A heck of a good deal for a speedlight with a wireless receiver built in. Anyone hoping for TTL on the new IV model, though, will be disappointed, still no TTL in the 560 series.
