Oh wait, my bad (sorry), but the YN-460 has the sensor in the head itself, whereas the YN-460II is in the body, so you can turn it to face the direction of the firing flash.

Correct, the sensor in the head is a little like a fly-screen on a submarine.

Why would you want the flash head facing back at you? lol

You aren't serious are you Scotty???

You may find that the meaning behind that is to have the head rotated so that the light output part is facing away from you and towards your subject whilst the "front" panel with the sensor faces your camera when using the unit as a remote.
At least that is the way that most other speedlights seem to work.

I know, not sure why we are disagreeing when we are not disagreeing ?????

I have used - and have ordered the 460 ii.... It has it's sensor in the body so, it can face you whilst the flash head faces the subject.

But, the old one - as i understood it from a mate's grumbles - its sensor was pointed in the direction of the flash. So, often, it would not fire unless it was pointed at your on-board flash.

It could work as a second slave if you a speedlite (radio trigger) off to one side and the 460 on the other. So, you'd press the shutter; the speedlite would go off (and because it was to the side, it would set off the 460.

Anyway.. the design was dumb lol
