Impressive
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.For a budget friendly flash, it’s powerful. I’m seriously impressed. I bought this as a back up and ended up using it as the main flash for certain shoots.

Drains cells
||Posted .The flash is good and works well however the battery is really bad. It drains the cells A LOT and it stops working randomly. I added some pictures I got with the flash

Ok flash
||Posted .The bounce flash feature works very well if used in a room no more then 2 stories high. My only issue is the way the item is turned off and on. The user has to flip the flash up and then flip it down when no flash is desired. I find that half the time, the flash stays off when flipped up. I am quite certain that it isn't an issue of dead batteries. The battery compartment also has issues. The battery compartment door has to be slid open. The door is flimsy and as a result, the metal contacts seem to have problems. the user has to slide it open a millimeter or two, in order to get a good contact. I've owned two and both have had similar issues. When the flash is actually working, it provides decent flash.

It flashes!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I don’t know what I was expecting but it flashes lol. I didn’t have to adjust any of the camera settings. I just attached it to my Sony ZV1 and it worked. As a new vlogger and beginner photographer I like it.

Quite an interesting little flash
||Posted .If you have a Sony mirroless camera without a flash this is the one you want to fulfill the gap. It is small and as soon I put it to the challenge to fulfill a portrait as well as a direct flash I saw how effective it can be. Using it in the fulfill mode works the best. Small and effective and you can adjust the output from your camera menus. I'm giving four stars as I would prefer to have a rigid case instead of the soft pouch.

Great counterpart to A6400
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.If you like me, you like the size of the small compact A6400 then you'd want a small compact-sized flash to go with it. Almost all third party flash are much bigger and heavier. They may give out more lights but sometimes you want something small and light to accompany when traveling and this is where this flash comes in. It's great for those intimate occasions at a restaurant where you'd want enough lighting to ensure you can capture details of food and people around the table. Also there's no on/off button, flip up is on, flip down is off, what more ease of use is there?

Q: QuestionWill this Sony External Flash work with an a6300 Sony mirrorless camera?
Asked by DLN1645.
- A:Answer Yes it will. But if you have a a6300 i recommend saving up for a more powerful flash, since your a6300 will have a build in flash with just as much power.
