Something branded and sold as a genuine Nikon (or other well known brand) part or accessory that was not, in fact, manufactured by Nikon or whatever other well known brand. "Third Party" refers to manufactures that offer compatible parts or accessories that are often less expensive than the name brand part. It does not mean the part or accessory is in any way inferior to the brand name part or accessory. Technology has brought us to the point where it's entirely possible to spend far less than what a major manufacturer wants for a particular accessory while getting the same, or better, quality.Yongnuo is a third-party flash.</blockquote>
