PHOTOOLEX Camera Flash Speedlite for Canon Nikon Sony Panasonic Olympus Fujifilm Pentax Sigma Minolta Leica and Other SLR Digital Cameras and Digital Cameras with Single Contact Hot Shoe

Super item, product is good quality and very responsiveI’m extremely impressed with the PHOTOOLEX Camera Flash Speedlite. It delivers bright, consistent lighting and works perfectly for both indoor and outdoor photography. The build quality feels solid and professional, yet it’s lightweight and easy to carry around for events or travel shoots.The controls are simple to understand, making setup quick even for beginners. I especially liked the fast recycle time and adjustable brightness settings, which helped me capture sharp, well-lit photos without missing important moments. It also pairs smoothly with my camera and performs reliably every time.For the price, this Speedlite offers excellent value and features that compete with much more expensive flashes. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their photography lighting setup! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I ordered this unit on Saturday morning with free standard delivery. I expected it to arrive towards the middle of the following week. Incredibly it was delivered Sunday afternoon. Brilliant.Anyway to the unit itself. On opening the box It is very nicely presented. No need for faint praise about it being good for the money, this is a good quality solid unit. I was quite shocked at how large it was as I use a micro 4/3 Panasonic camera. However I have no hot shoe capability on my LUMIX GF6 so this is not an issue as I always intended to use it as a slave via wi fi. The instructions are clear but not really needed as this is simple to use and understand. The LCD screen on the rear has a bar graph giving 8 levels of intensity for both the flash and permanent light. These are changed by nice pleasing buttons underneath the display, no fiddly touch screen. This allows for light adjustment from bright to 'ouch my eyes' on both lamps.I struggled at first to understand the Wi Fi set up before discovering there was nothing at all to do on the flash unit , it was all a case of setting the camera flash mode correctly. Once this was sorted, well it was sorted, press the shutter...'FLASH'It comes complete with pouch, which wouldn't give a great deal of protection should it get dropped but will certainly prevent it getting scratched. Also it's own stand for slave mode. This has hot shoe fitment on top which is secured by a large nurled wheel at the base of the flash. Underneath is a standard thread allowing for fitment to a tripod if necessary and negating the need for an adaptor.I'm sure some big time photo geeks will sneer at this but I honestly can't see why anyone would spend up to 10 times as much for something that has a posh brand name but essentially does the same thing.If you do photography for fun and on a budget, like me, then this is a £30 no brainer.

I bought it mainly to use as a ‘fill in’ slave flash which is does grudgingly, as it’s sensor needs to be pointed to the main flash and in a darkened room. But as a normal flash it works well. On my Nikon D80 I had some problem getting it to fire, but when I found the knack, it works very well and I would buy it again.

First off I can't show in video how to use as I don't have a second camera to show the camera I am using this with. At first I was getting completely dark images when using this but realised you have to play around with the settings to get the right balance of light. I was using this for bouncing the flash off the ceiling to avoid flash reflection as I am using it to copy LP sleeves of some very old LPs from the 60s which I will use for CD sleeves as I am recording them. To get a good shot I had to set the flash unit on 1.1 at the far right. It gave just the right amount of light to get a real good copy of the LP sleeve without the flash spoiling the photo with reflection issues which is what you get with the built in flash and which is what you get with glossy picture copying. So far happy with the unit. The last time I did this sort of work was back in the 70s with a Zenith SSL 35mm camera so its nice to use my knowledge with the new digital photography compared to roll film. I also used a tripot and music stand to hold my LP Sleeve still to get a perfect in focus shot. Yes so far so good with this unit. Mines was in a sealed box so it was definitely new and unused. I am just hoping it wont break down after some use like a lot of users on here. If that happens I will be back to update my review.

This product is a lifesaver any time any day, i had struggled for a while trying different products and brand but this made my life better.. Recommended for all.

Lovely

At first I could not figure out the different modes and spent considerable time failing to get the flash to work as a slave. Well, it doesn’t have the ability to be used in groups/channels and can only work using infrared. My main flash just would not trigger this flash at all and then suddenly I read why on the internet. Infrared doesn’t work in bright conditions and would you believe it I was sat there near my window at the dining table for half hour and it wouldn’t work. So I moved into the middle of the room where no sun was coming in, and boom it worked!!! It doesn’t need to be in direct line of vision either. I just put it in S1 mode and it fires when my main Godox flash triggers it.I used a transmitter on top of the camera which triggers the main flash on group A channel 26 and when it fires that ‘master’ flash it makes the ‘slave’ (this one I’m reviewing) flash too.There’s no fancy menus. This really is a no frills flash. No lcd screen. You can only change the power of the light and the type of space mode you want; s1 or s2. That’s all. If you want all the bells and whistles then this isn’t a flash for you. If you want a slave unit that simply allows you to adjust power (say for lightning your backdrop) then this is perfect.Comes with a nice bag and some light filters

If, like me you use wide angle lenses, then this isn't for you.Works ok with a 40mm lens up to about 10 feet, but go wider and the flash just lights the middle of the frame once you go over 6 feet away.I used this with a Leica SL2-S with a zoom and on a Nikon ZF with 40mm lens. Worked far better on the Nikon.I compared the flash to my small Leica brand flash and even at 24mm and 12 feet away the flash gave adequate power. Ok the Leica Flash cost me 5 times as much but you get what you pay for.

Eos R6 MK2と一緒に使っていますが、何も問題なく使えています！私のようなアマチュアの場合は、この値段のストロボでも満足いく撮影ができるとおもいます！安くてとてもおすすめです！！！！

En bra blixt för pengarna. Tolkade dess värre produktinformationen fel så den passade inte på kameran jag beställde den till så tyvärr gick den i retur.
