Good for its price, but only if you are able to use non-TTL flashes.
The defining factor to choose this flash was its price - a very democratic one for a product with such characteristics. Previously I only used an old Minolta X-30 which had 3 power levels and could rotate 90 degrees clockwise. Compared to that Yongnuo looks like a high-end device, but let me describe it a little bit more closely.
1) Package bundle: soft case, mini-stand, flash, manual. Bundle seems to be fine but what I think is that the case should have a belt loop.
2) Appearance: the device looks and feels strong-made. No backlashes - every part fits well. Plastic doesn't feel like a cheap. The head turns smoothly and clicks in positions just the way it should be.
3) Performance: It's manual - and that's enough to characterize it. 8 power levels with 0,3 step adjustment, 4 modes: M, S1, S2, Strobe. Generally it's enough and the set of options is fine for an amateur photographer who is familiar with flashes operation.
4) Best thing in it is the price. ~75 bucks
5) Yes, I would have bought it once again.
