NEEWER BASICS Mini Camera Flash with 2W LED Video Light/GN10/0.5-3.5s Recycle/550 Flashes/6500K±300K/800mAh Battery, Compatible with Canon Fujifilm Sony Nikon Ricoh DSLR Standard Hot Shoe Camera, A10L

I purchased this a few days ago and as always with amazon I was impressed at how quickly it arrived considering P&P was free. It look and feels like a serious bit of kit, and looks a lot more expensive than it is. As stated in the title of this review it does have its limitations as others have mentioned it wont do iTTL but this doesn't bother me, what it does do it does very well for the money. It works both on camera and off camera, it comes with a little stand for mounting it to a tripod in the box, the range of power is more than adequate for me as an amateur photographer and I have to say I am seriously very glad I bought it. So why only four stars??? It clearly states that it is for ALL Sony cameras and it isn't. It works with my Sony DSC-R1 which has a standard hot shoe mount identical to most Canon's and Nikon's but does not fit my Alpha A300 ( and I believe all Alpha models have the same hot shoe ) straight out of the box (No adapter is included). This isn't a major concern however as I purchased a Pixel hot shoe adapter for my Alpha on here for 10.00 which brings my total cost to £47 ( A steal compared to Sony's own speed-light costing 265.00) I just wish it explained this in the product description as I would have ordered it at the same time, and wouldn't be sitting here waiting for the adapter to arrive so I can use it on camera (it still works off camera) I am going to buy another couple of these as fill in flashes with a couple of cheap light stands. Great Product, Great Price, just wish the description had been more accurate *****UPDATE****** I recently got rid of all my sony and nikon cameras and purchased the D7100 Nikon and this flash still works perfectly. It works much better with the Nikon range as it requires no adapter like the Sony's do, however it did work as stated above with both my A300 and my A77. However it always felt a little floppy on the adapter. As with all my previous DSLR's the flash does NOT support TTL or iTTL but does work in manual mode ( For Nikon users: set your mode dial to S for shutter priority set to your cameras sync speed (1/250 for the D7100) with the jog wheel, turn on the flash and set it to Manual using the buttons on the back of the flash. You can then fire the flash when you press your cameras shutter button. If the flash is too heavy try adjusting the flash head to bounce the flash, and use the + & - buttons to increase or decrease the power of the flash's output) I have now had this item for nearly 18 months and have used it on both the nikon and sony platforms and this flash still works perfectly (with a set of rechargeable duracells I bought from amazon too) never once has this flash let me down. At the £35 price tag I paid for it I think this is truly remarkable and makes the flash not only a must have but also a no brainer. It really is a purchase every photographer should make even if it's just to keep as a back up. I mean honestly you can't even buy a decent polarising filter for £35 these days. I've been meaning to buy more of these but as this one has served me so well I haven't needed to. I fully intend to get a couple more of these though as in slave mode they work absolutely faultlessly as off camera flash's.

Amazing for the price, can be adjusted to 8 levels of brightness. Good quality and good fit for canon camera.

I'm using this flash for fun, its a nice compact flash that i can take with me everywhere, i haven't tried it in a professional project so i can't judge that. Build quality is very nice, i use it with my Sony A7RV i haven't tried it on other camers so i can't review the versatilityc the speed is where you need it to be for street/portrait/fun shoots. You can control it cery easily using the dials on it. And the performance is great till now. One thing i would love to see added is a cover for the hotshoe in case i don't want to carry the whole bag with me yet i wanna protect the adapter.

Works a treat with my Fuji HS30 bridge camera. The gun has a Guide Number of 38 at 100 ISO film speed. The hot shoe only has one central contact meaning the gun only has manual flash power control (eight levels). Initially I could not get the gun to work on the HS30, so I looked through the camera settings menu and found the external flash option was set to OFF: for some strange reason, setting it to ON fixed the problem...Duh! ;) Also be aware that with the Fuji HS30, the external flash hot shoe only fires in Manual, Programmed, Aperture and Shutter Priority modes: it does not fire in EXR, Auto, SP1 or SP2 modes. If you need the flash power setting automatically controlled by the Fuji HS30, you need the Fuji EF42 flash gun (Amazon product code ASIN B004NROYVM) at £140 which is a Fuji-customised SunPak. Whilst being able to have the flash power controlled by the camera is useful on a film camera, in my book it's not worth an extra £110 for the occasional shot or two with a digital camera where more light is needed. THE GOOD: Price Has a pull-down flash diffuser and pull-out white reflector above the flash area Flash head has 90 degree vertical rotation and 270 degree horizontal movement (90 one way, 180 the other) for bounce flash use (or even blinding yourself if you so wish!!). Has two slave modes of operation as well as manual mode, meaning it can be used as a slave fill-in flash gun. Takes 4X AA batteries - including rechargeable types. Seems quite well made and sturdy. Comes with a 1/4 inch tripod mounting bracket for slave use. The NOT-SO-GOOD: Cannot be used for any length of time with rapid firing at high power: any more than 10 shots in a minute or so and the gun will auto shut-down to prevent overheating. Seems to be immune to overheating at low power settings tho'. Overall, a reasonably made inexpensive flash gun for those who have a hot shoe external flash connector and only need manual flash power control, or for occasional use where more flash power is needed than can be provided by the camera's on-board flash. Especially recommended for the novice photographer or those on a limited budget.

It works, however not happy as it has 1200mah battery not 2000mah as in Neewer description, I am returning

Muy buen producto para quienes no desan desembolsar el precio de flashes de marca de renombre. El flash funciona muy bien, calidad de construcción buena y manual de usuario fácil de entender. Viene en una bolsa de terciopelo para su guardado, y además incluye el pie para sostenerlo fuera de camara cuando se dispara en este modo. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. La idea de pagar las cuotas de aduana o importación al recibir el paquete no me hace muy feliz, personalmente siento que pago 2 veces por un producto. Además que es una incógnita el precio final de la compra ya en mis manos, compre el mismo modelo de Flash en amazon Estados Unidos y desde el inició sabia claramente el costo final de mi compra. El precio fue muy similar y quede más satisfecho con esto. Muy recomendable, este es mi 4o. Flash, y por una fracción de uno solo de marca . Y si no le molesta el pagar en dos momentos el precio y la importación, muy buena opción. Ojala les sea útil.

A flashy 5 star for it

Parfait 👍🏽

funktioniert sehr gut 👍

For the price, this flash has been awesome. It’s easy to mount and use, recycle time is decent, and the light output is strong enough for indoor portraits and events. It’s fully manual, so there’s a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it does the job really well.
