Ying Kee Trading

Another great photography shop in Sham Shui Po, Ying Kee is filled to the brim with equipment ranging from tripods to dry boxes. Products from brands such as Phottix, Eureka, Benro, and Sirui can be had at affordable prices, rendering online ordering null and void. Drop off at Sham Shui Po Station, take Exit A2 and once outside, take a left.
It’s super easy to spot this shop, light stands adorn the entrance and there are always (ALWAYS) a lot of people inside. Some come just to inquire prices, others to check out the products in person, and my personal favorite, those who know what they want, purchase it and get out within 10 minutes tops.
It’s much more affordable to shop here for lights and tripods, which is what the majority seem to buy when I visited. For those looking to buy cheap flashes and sample flash photography for the first time, the Yongnuo brand of flashes can be had for under 500 dollars.
The last time I bought something here was two years ago, a small LED light that I needed for a videography project. The service was pleasant and the staff amiable. However, do forgive them if they’re a bit grumpy at times because of the horde of customers.
They have a fantastic website (which isn’t their complete catalog, by the way) that you can peruse before visiting the shop. Additionally, it’s nice to give them a ring just to ask the price for clarification. Another option is to WhatsApp or email the shop manager if you have any further queries.
