I bought the Yongnuo YN660 flash with the intention of using it for off camera lighting with my Olympus TG 4.

Seems to work well at home but I have yet to see how the pair work in a cave. The usual way is to mask the TG4 flash with a section of 35mm film. The Y660 will then be fired as a slave unit as long as it "sees " the camera. Then its trial and error with the flash position and setting. The flashgun has to be set to S1 on M to act as a normal slave unit. The unit can then be adjusted for power output and spread quite easily with a dial on the back. With a DSLR of course multiple flash units can be fired and adjusted by radio trigger. The Amazon pack for the 660 comes with a clip on diffuser. There are some user hints on line for the Yonguo Speedlights.

With annoying adverts.
So has anyone got good results from a Speedlight-Compact set up and have any hints how to use them.
