    works flaulessly with some exceptions

    I bought C1 close-up flashlight, thought it will work for my Nikon D70 and D200. It turned out, none of cameras could use the C1 kit by their build-in flashes or by external flash SB-800, even though the manual described C1 could work for the two cameras. Only when I bought SU-800, the wireless commander, C1 started to work with D200 with SU-800. I did not try them for D70, but I thought they should work. With my D200, C1 and SU-800, work perfectly in iTTL mode: I set in Aperture priority mode, I don't have to set anything on the SU-800, each picture turned out to be perfect. I have another ring flash, SB-21, in which I have to set flash parameters manually according to the distances between the object. and the lens.

    Great flash for Macro photography

    I was a little scared of the price, but WOW!!!!! I was very surprised at everything that came with this unit. A little bulky of a case, but its well protected in it. Did not expect color gells to come with it, but they did. I've only had it for a few days and I am mostly going to use it for macro photography. But, I can see where I would use it for portraits too.

Flashpoint - Zoom Li-ion X Mid R2 TTL Round Flash For Sony, Godox V1mid

Flashpoint Zoom Li-Ion X MID R2 TTL Round Flash (ZLX MID Series) Professional Power. Perfect Size The Flashpoint Zoom Li-Ion X MID R2 TTL Round Flash for Sony (ZLX MID) represents the next evolution of on-camera lighting for Sony photographers. Purpose-built for the modern mirrorless era and fully optimized for Sony TTL systems, it delivers professional-level performance, refined light quality, and advanced wireless control in a perfectly balanced medium-size design. Positioned between compact mini flashes and full-size flagship speedlights, the ZLX MID offers the ideal combination of power, portability, and handling. It provides significantly more output, endurance, and control than small flashes, while remaining lighter, slimmer, and better balanced than oversized professional units. The result is a flash that feels natural on today's compact camera bodies, remains comfortable during long shoots, and fits easily into travel and location kits. Inspired by the acclaimed round-head V1 series and designed as its little brother, the ZLX MID brings the same lighting philosophy, magnetic modifier system, wireless R2 control, and modern touchscreen interface into a refined medium-class form factor. It is the everyday professional flash for photographers who demand reliability, speed, and beautiful light without carrying unnecessary bulk. Available for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus, and Panasonic, the ZLX MID integrates seamlessly into the Flashpoint R2 wireless lighting ecosystem, delivering full TTL automation, high-speed sync, multi-group radio control, and intuitive touchscreen operation in a compact, highly portable design. Designed as a True Medium-Size Professional Flash As mirrorless cameras continue to dominate professional photography, shooters are increasingly seeking lighting tools that deliver serious performance while maintaining a compact and well-balanced footprint. The ZLX MID was engineered specifically to meet this demand. Unlike large flagship flashes that can feel front-heavy and awkward on smaller mirrorless bodies, or compact flashes that compromise power, battery life, and control, the ZLX MID occupies the perfect middle ground. It delivers professional output and endurance while maintaining a lighter, slimmer profile that sits naturally on the camera hot shoe. Balance is improved, handling feels more secure, and fatigue is reduced during long wedding days, extended event coverage, and handheld portrait sessions. With a size similar to compact professional flashes such as the V480 class, yet equipped with a true round head, the ZLX MID becomes an ideal daily-use professional flash. It transitions effortlessly between weddings and events, portrait and editorial work, commercial location shoots, and travel or documentary assignments. This medium-size format makes it especially appealing to photographers who want professional lighting performance without the bulk and weight of oversized gear. Soft, Natural Light from a True Round Head At the core of the ZLX MID is its true round flash head, designed to produce a more natural and flattering light pattern than traditional rectangular speedlights. The circular design creates even, symmetrical light distribution with smoother transitions from highlight to shadow and more pleasing edge falloff. Catchlights appear round and natural, skin tones are rendered more smoothly, and highlights retain a refined, organic quality. This softer, more natural beam pattern makes the ZLX MID especially well suited for portraits, weddings, fashion, lifestyle, and editorial photography, where subtle transitions and flattering highlights are essential. An integrated magnetic accessory mount allows modifiers to attach instantly, enabling fast, tool-free light shaping with domes, grids, gels, and diffusers perfect for fast-paced shooting environments and on-location workflows.
