I like using flashes and my favorite compacts are the vintage Sunpak 121C and Viviter 2800 series, but they can only safely be used on mechanical cameras as their discharge can fry electronic cameras. Good review!

Thanks for super interesting info. Have to try to find a local store that sell these. One comment on Guide Number. My first flash was completely manual and it's really easy and fast to get used to. Simply divide GN with distance from flash to subject and you get the aperture. When it comes to light fall off then flash power doesn't really matter. Of course a more powerful flash can light further away, but It's just the distance between the closest (and presumably correct lit subject) and the more distance subjects that determine light fall off.

You're right! My understanding of these aspects of flash is quite rusty.

I've got that one and a TTL version for Fuji. I think both are great. I would recommend people to buy the one in metal casing though as I fear that I some day will drop it and unfortunately break it.

Thanks for the video. You have encouraged me to use my FlashQ Q20 II more. I am interested in learning more about your cheat sheet on the back of the flash. Would love to see a video of you out in the streets using the flash and talking through the settings more. What shutter speed do you normally use? Thanks.

Thanks for watching! I basically just used a digital camera to fire some shots at given settings/distance, then wrote them down and extrapolated. So I'm not sure if it's the most accurate! I usually use 1/45th since that's the sync speed of the Leica that I use it with the most.

Does it turn all the way up to 90 degrees? I’d say you could attach a notecard with a rubber band and use it as a bounce flash

Great overview. Answered nearly all questions. Can you leave the flash mounted but swivel to the right or left? I can see you can swivel up and add filters. I need to swivel to the right/left to create shadows on one side of the face for portraits. I have had the GR IIIx for a couple of years. But I do miss my Nikon flash system when out though I don’t miss the bulk which is why I leave my full frame home now. I know I can pop the flash off and point it to the right/left. Thanks for the great overview.

Hey, sorry for the late reply! Unfortunately, you cant swivel it this way without unmounting it from the receiver.

Good video, thanks! Do you know if the transmitter uses power from the flash's AA batteries when its plugged in/on camera flash mode, or if it still uses its internal battery? I use on camera flash a lot, and having yet another piece to worry about charging is kinda annoying. EDIT: Never mind I emailed them and asked and they said the transmitter always gets power from it's own batteries and never the flash's AA batteries

It doesn't have a pc sync port, so you might need to use some kind of hotshoe to Pc sync adapter.

You know the fall off is all about the inverse square law, not the power of the flash unit. You might want to review that. It’s the LAW! 😊
