Mine is great. Ordered through Amazon, seller was Cheaplights/Todds Travel Photos. I have shot with it a handful of times now, using it as slave in combination with my Cactus V5s and 430EX II. Works great so far.

IluhisCom Member 83 posts Joined Feb 2011 More info | Feb 26, 2011 14:39 | #304 JMartel, original link to a YN -460 repair report is here  Remove two rubber caps. Don`t worry, they are mounted on glue.  remove two metall brackets, they are also on both sides.  The flash splits apart. Then CAUTION!!!! If you have used or just switched on flash recently you have to discharge capacitor.  Take incandescent lamp at 100W, solder two wires to it. Attach these wires to red and black contacts on flash. (text on photo reads "discharge on lamp")  Lamp will turn on and go of smothly if capacitor was charged A blue capacitor is a new capacitor. Native YN`s capacitor is orange.  A new capacitor shoul be 0.047uF 630V. You can buy this capacitor on Ebay, but we cannot guarantee its quality. We (I mean russians) prefer russians elements due to its foolproofness  the blue one capacitor was purchased in Russia for $0.01  Solder, assemble and use! The same operation can be repeated according to YN560 Canon 500D:: gripped Сanon 50D:: Canon 80-200 2.8 L:: Tamron 28-75 2.8:: Sigma10-20 4-5.6 :: Tokina 10-17 FishEye:: Canon 50 1.8:: Canon Speedlite EX430II:: Nissin 866 MkII:: 2x Yongnuo Speedlite YN560 :: Tamron 18-250

My only complaint was that the packaging was a bit weak on the inside. They shipped it out fast though, no complaints there and I got the metal foot version like everyone else here pretty much.

I had read enough posts here about the problems people were having with New Harbor so I opted to pay a bit more NOT to go through them. I would order from Cheaplights/Todd's Travel Photo (the company name that shows up when you order, as seen here Body: Canon EOS 5D • Lenses: Sigma 50mm 1.4, Lensbaby 2.0 • Lighting: Canon Speedlite 430EX II, YN 560 • Misc: Cactus V5s
