Bought this from BH to use on my Sony RX100 II. So far the results are very good. Bounce feature is excellent. Much better flash results than using the cameras built in flash. Relatively small and light weight.
JR –
Light weight. The included carrying pouch helps protect from damage. Does the job its meant to do.

Will throw light several feet further than the builtin flash

This flash is the same as the HVLf20AM flash, with the addition of the new MSI attachment. Unfortunately the height of the new flash is the same as the HVLF20AM with the IISO to MSI adaptor. This means the flash sits higher on the camera and is much more vunerable in the standb position

Le flash est trs bien mais malheureusement le sabot nest pas adaptable sur SLT A57 ni sur SLT A77. Cela nest pas indiqu clairement sur les sites de ventes. Heureusement Sony a prvu en accessoire un sabot adaptateur mais cela gnre une certaine frustation lors du dballage et surtout que ctait un cadeau qui est inutilisable dans ltat.Il faudrait des indications plus claires notamment dans lobligation dacheter un adaptateur sabot vendu sur le site de Sony.

The unit itself was a pleasant surprise. Gives great photos with the ceiling bounce, very pleasing to the eyes. Now let me explain how I came about this flash. I first purchased the HVLF60M a few weeks back. I only did one shoot with it, which was for my newborn nephew. In 3.5 hours, trying as hard as I could I only was able to capture 73 photos with the flash about 1 photo every 3 minutes average because I spent the majority of the time waiting for the darn thing to not be overheated. Check this flash out it is widely known for its overheating. It never felt warm to me batteries or flash but kept displaying the error. So I returned that flash out of frustration. I decided to give the HVLF43M a try, as it still had sufficient power for anything I needed photo wise. I was also interested in getting it to work as an off camera flash. Well this ended up pretty much being a no brainer 2 Flashes for the same price of the overheating piece of junk I had previously. Now I came home, popped in fresh batteries and gave it the best stress test I could do. In 35 minutes, I snapped 362 photos with the HVLF20M on the camera, and the HVLF43M sitting elsewhere in the room. FINALLY after my finger was getting sore did the HVLF43M give me the overheated warning HVLF20M still seemed to want to keep trucking. Batteries still seem to be sufficient in both flashes after letting sit to cool, so that is another plus. Lets see 1 photo every 3 minutes, or about 10 photos a minute I will take this super combo, thank youOne final note as I was really mainly stress testing HVLF43M, the only ready light I paid attention to was the HVLF43M. Quite often I never let the HVLF20M CHG light light up meaning I was firing it at reduced strength and EVERY time it was still strong enough to set off my HVLF43M.

i use it in a low light places

I use the flash to increase the light output of my Sony RX 100 II, the builtin flash of the camera is okay for very close subjects but is not adequate for subjects which are 10 to 15 feet away.

I like the feature that I can attach this flash to my NEX6, fold it forward, and it there when I need it. I just flip it to the vertical, wait a few seconds for it to charge, and Im all set to use it. Its ideal for those times when the builtin flash isnt strong enough. I have yet to try the builtin wireless feature so I cant comment on it. I tried a burst of 3 photos the this flash kept up. I would recommend it to those who are looking for an easy to use addition to their built in flash.
funny girl –
This flash is what I needed for the price. I did however not realize that I needed an attachment to fit the flash to my camera since I guess my camera is on the older side. Now that I have the correct shoe attachment I am the happiest camper on the block. One of the only things I really wanted was not available in my price range, I wanted a swivel head. Oh well. Great bang for the buck. The thing that I find is a little hard to get used to is that in order to turn off the flash it has to be in a bent position. So it makes it a little difficult to store since I want to make sure that it does not go in by accident. I just take the batteries out. Easy solve.

Bought the F20M specifically to use with my NEX6, as an older 3rd party ISOstyle flash does not trigger at all. Ive been shooting in manual mode, using the cameras TTL with the flash to do action and portraiture in a variety of rooms, the largest of which is roughly 24×24 garagesized, and using both the stock 1650 as well as a SEL18200 and the 16mm pancake. Ive experimented with both bounce and direct as well as with and without the diffuser, which seem to be the only options selectable. Some shots have come out beautifully. Others, not so much. The main beef I have with the flash is that switching the flash onoff is done by rotating the flash. You would think that rotating the flash about the joint is what youd do in order to get variable bounce angle. Au contraire. You have exactly 2 designed options one is to flash direct, with the usual issues to do with hot spots and harsh shadows behind your subject, especially with such a small flash. The second is to bounce directly above you. Thats right if you shoot horizontal and are in a regular rectangular room, the bounce goes straight up. As near as I can tell, the bouncedirect slider is designed with detentes which make the flash unit rotate and tend to snap into either straight up or straight forward. If you want an angle, youre out of luck you need to add on a reflector of some sort. I experimented with doing a funny halfangle, but this was not very reliable and, worse, would make the flash intersect half the diffuser. Under 1012 feet from the subject, bounce mode gave me great pictures welllit, good temperature, etc. Over that, Id have to rely on direct, even if I tried bounce with the flash power cranked up to 2.0 on the NEX6. Apart from this limitation, though, the flash is what one of the other reviewers claimed quite a good trooper, getting through many shots on a pair of charged NiMH AAs. Ill have to try experimenting with graftedon diffusers and reflectors next and see if I can pull any better performance out.
Gabriel C. –
I bought this flash because I have the Sony 18200 lens with a NEX6 and the lens is so big that the flash incorporated with the camera makes a shadow. I only use it for personal photograph. So after some time with this flash I can say that has exceptional power, the height is ideal for any lens. No way can you make a shadow even with full zoom. It has two modes, direct and bounce. And it also has a removable filter. Only two thing Im not totally satisfied 1 It uses two AAA batteries. The flash I had with the NEX5 used the battery from the camera so I didnt have to carry any additional chargers. 2 Size is pretty big compared with the flash I used in the NEX5.

Ich besitze eine Sony Alpha 850 Kamera und bentige eigentlich relativ selten einen Blitz. Da die 850er kein eingebautes Blitzgert hat, habe ich mir bisher mit meinen alten analogen Blitzen aus den Minolta i und xiReihen beholfen. In der Regel reichte eine Leistung 116 bis 132 als reine Aufhellung fr dunkle Bereiche vollkommen aus, allerdings war das nichts fr Schnappschsse. Also musste ein ADIkompatibles Blitzgert her, wenn, gleich richtig, also das Topmodell. Zum Glck sind die Preise in zumindest einigermaen ertrgliche Bereiche gerutscht. Nachdem ich es nun ein paar Tage getestet habe, nun meine Meinung Leistung Sehr gute Blitzreichweite, gute Ausleuchtung bis in die Ecken. Solange man im normalen Rahmen blitzt, kommt es zu keinem OverheatProblem, ich konnte es zumindest bislang noch nicht zu diesem Punkt ausreizen, ich mache allerdings auch keine ellenlangen SerienblitzReihen. Zubehr Tasche fr den Blitz, Standfu fr entfesseltes Blitzen, eingebaute Streuscheibe, Diffuser in separatem Behlter, Kontaktschutz und Blitzschuhadapter hnlich Minolta FS1100 AusstattungFunktionen Der Schwenkreflektor ist vertikal in 0, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 sowie 120 rastbar, auch an Nah nicht Makro Aufnahmen hat man gedacht, der Blitzkopf ist rund 10 nach unten zu klappen, bei greren Objektiven kommt es dann allerdings zu Abschattungen. Er ist nicht horizontal schwenkbar, aber durch QuickShift Bounce in 30, 45, 60 und 90 seitlich wegzuklappen. Bei Hochkantaufnahmen erhlt man so eine wesentlich bessere Gewichtsverteilung, was die Ausleuchtung des Bildes angeht, konnte ich bisher an den Bildern keine Unterschiede feststellen. Alle anderen Funktionen sind inzwischen Standard RatioVerteilung, Remote Sensor, MultiBlitze StroboskopBlitzen, Zoom 24105mm, manuelle Einstellungen, HSSBlitzen bis 18000 sek… Hervorzuheben ist noch das Videolicht, eine kleine 3teilige LEDReihe, die man erkennt, wenn man den Blitzkopf um 90 nach oben schwenkt. Sie reichen als Minimalbeleuchtung fr nahe Videoaufnahmen aus, eine fest eingebaute, verschiebbare Streuscheibe verbreitert das Lichtbndel, eine orange Streuscheibe zur Farbtemperaturvernderung liegt bei. Da meine 850er kein Video kann, ersetzt es mit die Taschenlampe bei Einstellungen der Kamera in der Dunkelheit Der MultiInterface Blitzschuh Der ist fr mich das grte Manko an diesem Blitz. Hier hat man zwar gut gedacht ein Blitz fr DSLR, NEX, CybershotKompaktkameras und Handycams allerdings in meinen Augen schlecht gemacht. Am Blitz selbst ist ein Art StandardBlitzschuh angebracht, der auf die NEX und anderen kleinen Sonys passt, soweit, so gut. Sobald man ihn an die DSLRs mit dem proprietren SonyKontakt andocken will, bentigt man den mitgelieferten Adapter hnlich Minolta FS1100. Hierdurch verlngert sich zwar der Abstand zur optischen Achse, was in Einzelfllen sehr hilfreich sein kann, allerdings wird die Sache extrem wackelig. Zusammen mit der insgesamt guten und Anfangs auch sehr festen Verarbeitung, habe ich nun jedesmal Angst, wenn ich den Blitzkopf vertikal hochklappen will, das mir der Blitzschuh reisst. Entweder htte man gleich den DSLRBlitzschuh montieren sollen und den Adapter auf NEX etc. als Adapter auslegen, oder besser, den kompletten Boden des Blitzes austauschbar machen sollen hnlich MetzAdaptern. Dieses Manko trbt den ansonsten sehr guten Eindruck des Blitzes. Trotz dieser Schwche sehr empfehlenswert
Christopher –
Cool little pocket flash for the RX10. No onoff switch, that had me confused a little. Just raise it upright in the hotshoe and youre ready to shoot. Its ideal for closeup images, especially with the nifty bounce feature off a piece of card. Itd make a nice little fillflash for portraits set at minus 3 stops in the RX10s flash menu.
germano –
Despite Sonys website saying that it is compatible with Alpha58, there needs to be an adapter , not included, which adds odd dimensions to flash and costs as much as 30 of the cost of the flash.
TERRY –
I HAVE NOT USED IT MUCH YET BUT IT IS VERY COMPACT AND PROVIDES AT LEAST FOUR TIMES THE LIGHT OF THE SONY BUILTIN POP UP CAMERA FLASH. easily LIT UP MY LIVING ROOM WHICH IS OVER 20 FEET DEEP.
Joel –
I use it on my A7r and find that it is great for those snapshot type pics. It has a few nice functions like bounce and telephoto, but the best thing is that it is so compact. Only negative I can see is that it is too expensive for what you are getting. Should be tops.
sony cam fan –
Picked this up as a wireless trigger for my other flash units so far it is effective. I was hoping it would lay flatter against the camera when in the off position but its certainly workable as is.
Mendocino Steve –
I dont use flash often, but this is a great match for the RX10. Seems to work fine.
Jaxon Media Group –
Great bouncing flash I use it on my a7s and since its so sensitive there is not that much need for a flash but it helps amazingly well to fill up a room
Michael –
If you are looking for a reliable, straightforward flash for your Sony camera, this is perfect. It works great without a lot of bells and whistles. I use it to trigger other flashes and I love the compact design.

Goede flitser, waar veel mee mogeijk is. Wel tijd investeren om de mogelijkheden er uit te halen. Vervelend was dat er niet vermeld is dat er een adapternoodzakelijk is, die je apart moet bestellen. Dit leverde vertraging op en irrritatie voor gebruik mogelijk was.
Kimmac –
I basically bought this unit to facilitate the remote flash capability of my Sony DSCRX10. It is a handy little flash, but perhaps not as sturdily constructed as I would like. It has a little dial on one side marked tele that by turning it onto the tele setting is intended to adjust the flash profile to improve shots of things that are a bit beyond the range of the standard setting.Frankly the difference it appeared to make was, to me, pretty marginal. But that is not the worst part The little dial broke after only a few uses and now just spins uselessly…way too fragile or perhaps faulty from the outsetDisappointing, but bearing in mind my overriding purpose for buying it in the first place, it still performs that function well.
Mackenzie –
It would be nice if it had a bit more flexibility in angle and for the use of external diffusers, etc. But, for what it is, it is great little flash that helps with indoor or occasional use.
butch –
love it paired with my sony a7r. small, lightweight, straight foward
InAHurry –
Other reviewers gave plenty of warning that this is a flash with very limited capabilities and I wont claim to be surprised that its low output imposes considerable limitations. I bought it for the small size and light weight benefits with the intention of improving the lighting when taking very amateur portraits. To that end it is more or less adequate although the control over the bounce angle is poorer than expected. One almost needs to also carry a reflector, which would completely negate any size benefits. If one has a patient subject and multiple shots are possible, a satisfactory result can be obtained. The cycle time for the flash is pretty good. This unit is very particular about battery condition and I had to change batteries when the current pair still measured 1.32 volts. Not unique to this flash, the Multi Interface shoe is a pain in the backside because it is necessary to remove contact covers from both the flash and the camera when installing the flash. Id intended for this flash to see limited use but am disppointed that it has even greater limitations than Id expected. In fairness to the equipment, better results may be achieved if I put a lot more time and effort into learning to work around its power and bounce limitations. Top marks to BH for excellent customer service in this transaction.

While I loved my popup flash on the A700 to trigger offcamera real flashes, it was the biggest sacrifice when I went to the A99. I have three Sony offcamera well, could be used oncamera flashes through their generations, and they are perfect with umbrellas and diffusers for studio flashes. Now I have the ability to fire them. And, in a pinch, the different orientations and diffusion options on the F20M allow for quick, creative flash inapinch.
Sherif –
Very good product
Antonio N. –
I like the FVL F20M flash as a traveling and walk about companion to the Sony A7R. The small and lightweight flash recycles fast and give good TTL flash fill ins and main lighting.
Ingo –
Privat using, but very comfortable
Boston art –
Works well with Sony RX100ii, including TTL and bounce features. I wish I could find a compatible cord to use the flash offcamera. So far, it seems none exists. Currently I use this mainly as bounce flash and trigger for cheap optical offcamera flash. Would give it five starts if Sony or someone else made an extension cord for it.
DigitalRaj –
The most irritatiing thing with most new Pro Cameras today is that they dont have a popup flash. I personally think its one of the biggest mistakes with companies like Canon and Sony. I purchased this flash to make up for the missing popup flash on my new Sony A7. ProsProvides great lighting.I like the bounce and direct feature.This however is the best small flash available for the A7 and A7s.
FernandoPhotography –
Awsome Flash, its perfect on my Sony RX1R. And the ability to bounce light, Priceless

Ive only used the flash a couple of times so far, and its doing just what I expected. Not the greatest articulation, but good for basic flash requirements.

Met deze flitser heeft Sony weer een prachtig stukje techniek en gebruikersgemak neergezet. Het menu is intutief en daardoor eenvoudig en begrijpbaar, de uiteindelijke werking is geweldig.
David –
Add on to the built in flash on an A6000. I was amazed at the even coverage over the wide angle lens field and the power that handled 18mm at 15 feet.
ActionJunky –
The construction quality is on par with the cost of this flash. Care must be taken to properly store the flash, preventing potential damage. However, the simplicity of operation and light quality generated from this flash is outstanding. The onoff switch is the orientation of the flash. Lay it flat and the flash is turned off. Stand it up and the flash is turned on. This is super simple, but does require the flash to be vertical to operate. The flash head does rotate, internally to allow direct or bounce flash and includes an internal optional diffuser. This flash also works as a great master for remote flashes, but with some lag between flashes. The lag will not affect architectural photos, but could affect animals and people. Most will blink their eyes on the first flash and second flash will capture the image with eyes closed. Get a radio trigger if photographing animals or people.

Prima flitser, erg prettig ook dat de hele kop kan draaien. Zo kun je ook een onderwerp laag bij de grond fotograferen en toch via het plafond bouncen. Jammer is wel dat high sinc niet werkt als de flitser recht omhoog staat, alleen als hij in een hoek van 90 graden staat.
Ebony the Ivory –
The Sony HVLF20M External Flash is perfect fits well, works perfectly and give us possibility to take great pictures when the light conditions are not good enough. I use it to shoot outdoors and indoors pictures as well recording movies. I guess it is great to offer easy set to adjust range light as well brightness. The unique negative point is the price. In fact, it is not an affordable price item, but you can be sure all of your pics will be great
Bluff City BB –
Bounce feature works well. I was skeptical, given small size of flash, but even with tall ceilings, I get good results. Nice balance with ambient light. Small size makes it great for travel.

Aufgrund eines guten Testberichtes in einer Fachzeitschrift habe ich mir dieses Blitzgert fr meine Sony A57 gekauft. Die Mglichkeiten und der Bedienkomfort haben mich auch persnlich berzeugt. Nach anfnglichen Schwierigkeiten beim Drahtlosen Blitzen hat aber auch dieses nach Lektre eines Hinweises auf der Herstellerinternetseite einwandfrei funktioniert. Die Bilder werden sehr gut ausgeleuchtet und auch das Filmen mit der eingebauten Videoleuchte ist echt klasse.
Shamsul Aqbary –
Great flash paired with my A7. The size is small and I can easily slip it in the compartment in my bag. The only lack of this flash is that I can use it only when taking picture horizontally, but while the A7 in vertical, I cant tilt the flash to bouce upwards to the ceiling.
Christine –
Small and lightweight to match the A6000. Unfortunate that the bounce feature can not be used in portrait mode. The swivel up to turn on instead of an onoff switch is also a little strange.
Charles –
Dont expect this little fella to be a bigtime external flash. It is limited in range and can only be pointed in one direction. But it is efficient, conveniently bends forward to the off position and thus out of the way and works great. On a separate but related note, Sony could do us all a favor and make their hot shoe compatible with the canonnikon configuration, thus opening up the whole world of third party flashes but that doesnt seem to be Sonys MO.
Phillip –
This small but very effective flash is the perfect compliment to the Sony a6000. Small, easy to use, adds just the right amount of flash. I also use it on my a7 and it really delivers. Especially on the street where you need it photographing people in the shadows.
Melrose –
Love it. Small enough for my camera but provides what I need. I like the sleek look. Thanks for the advice
weidmic –
The design is OK and it works as advertised. However, I dont like the fact that the flashs onoff switch is in the hot shoe flipping up the flash turnes the flash on. Bad about is that you cannot put the flash flat in a bag so it does waste some space…

GeneV –
I bought this flash thinking I would use it to control a bigger flash for wireless TTL. However, this little flash has proven far more useful by itself than I imagined. I really like the small size, but I was skeptical of the capacity of a flash powered by two AAA batteries. So far, the number of flashes has been more than acceptable, and carrying a couple of extra rechargeable AAA batts is no problem. The biggest surprise was the bounce capability. Ive had small flashes with nominal guide number ratings similar to this, and the bounce was of very little use. This one does quite well in a home with 8 to 10 ceilings. The only thing which keeps this from 5 stars is the price. Granted, the dedication features and the design are great, but it is a little steep for a flash of this power
Tony Vazquez Artist –
A basic no nonsense flash. With some creativity you can get a lot out of this affordable product. Very compact, perfect for light traveling. Ideal for mirrorless cameras for example the sony a 7II . Packs a powerful light that can be directed, bounced, and softened. Recharges quite fast.

This is a small, light weight, that works well on a Sony A7r. I dont like to use flash, but sometimes you need a little more light. This serves the purpose. It does nothing special well enough.

Peter –
This works well as an addon to the cameras internal flash. Its fairly limited in power, and dont expect it to rival the top of the line strobes available, but for the price and the cameras youd be using it with, it gets the job done. Only negative is the onoff switch being the folding hotshoe.

Gedacht als Aufhellblitz bin ich sehr zufrieden. Skeptisch war ich, weil durch vorheriges Lesen klar war, es gibt keine Einstellmglichkeiten fr den Blitz.

Tommy –
I migrated from all the highend pro gear to the Sony line, mirrorless, to have smaller, lighter equipment. So this small, lighter flash fits right in. It is powerful enough to do the few flash shots that I do. Seems fairly well built and I like the small format, the flexibility it has. Im looking forward to a long life with this.
El Marque –
Small, compact and adds just right touch of light in the shadows. Uses easy to find AAA batteries. Cons Awkward off position sometimes gets in the on position when in the bag if moved around. No flash test button a flash costing this much should have one. Difficult to tell when in the tele or WA position. Not that heres a lot of difference between the two positions that I could tell. But all in all worth the money.

Geeft precieze TTL meting, ook bij gebruik van meerdere Sony flitsers. Prettig om in de natuur veel meer speelruimte qua belichting te hebben. De flitser is bovendien compact en qua gewicht makkelijk mee te nemen.

Great little flash. Very strong for its size and small enough that you dont have to keep taking it on and off all the time. I would advise anyone to stay with a Sony brand Flash and accessories instead of a third party manufacturer. Although I do have some non manufacturer lens that are great.
Viking –
The pros Light and wellbalanced for small cameras. Takes AAA batteries Reasonably priced. works well as an addon to the cameras internal flash for fill flash. The cons Its fairly limitedweak power. the onoff switch being the folding hotshoe is akward. Prefered an onoff switch. Hotshoe filmsy connection. Difficult to attach diffusers.

A very nice adjunct to the compact Sony A7 series if you got an A7 to go light and compact, this is a light and compact flash. It really does a very nice job surprisingly good given the size with bounce flash and as a fill flash. It works very nicely with eneloop rechargeable AAs. Biggest negative feature the onoff switch requires the flash be bent to be in the off position which makes little sense spacewise for the vast bulk of time the flash is off, i.e. stored. In part, because of this, for long terms I store the flash with the batteries removed. But this is a very small price for a flash that in some sense fits the minimal footprintmaximal feature philosophy of the A7 series.

Javais un APN compatible, donc pas eu besoin dadaptateur.Dailleurs je ne comprend pas le commentaire prcdant. Lacheteur sest tromp dachat, il suffisait dacheter la version HVLF20AM pour sviter dacheter un adapateur. Donc le 3 toiles na aucun sens quand on nachte pas le bon modle lolAu contraire, il aurait fallut mettre 5 toiles vu que sony permet quand mme dutiliser le flash avec un adaptateur.Bref, cest un excellent flash. Pas trs puissant mais il fait le job.Et pouvoir le basculer vers lavant est vraiment pratique.

Flitser geeft prima lichtopbrengst. Redelijk compact. Kop is draaibaar kantelbaar. Alleen bij HSS moet kop inderdaad recht staan. Heeft de nieuwe multi interface hotshoe. Voor oudere cameras is een handige converter te krijgen. Kan ook andere flitsers met deze flitser aansturen. Er zit ook een LEDlamp in voor videoopnamen maar wel voor korte afstand.

I have the sonyA6000 and needed a flash since the lens I bought is long and the flash thats attached caused a shadow when I used it. This one is very light, small and easy to use. It gives more than the built in. Not really powerful but enough for my needs.

This flash is almost as big as the camera RX1 R II. Who would pay 3800 dollars for a point and shoot pro camera and then buy a flash thats the same size. Its ridiculous. This flash is as big as the camera Sony needs to come out with something thats small and powerful to match what theyve done with this incredible camera. I dont think there is a solution yet Ive searched and searched.

Small, meant to be carried in the pocket, yet more powerful than a builtin flash. It does its job well. Excellent for work in small rooms, or as fill flash. For biggroup pictures youd need something larger.

I tried a small Metz flash with my new Sony RX1 RM2 which I had to return to BH. Customer service at BH is outstanding. They fired off the Sony HVLF29M and gave me credit on the Metz. Since Sony removed the built in flash on the new RX1 RM2s, this flash is the perfect replacement. Works great.

Der uerst leistungsstarke Blitz bietet eine Leitzahl von 60, ist aber dennoch recht leicht und kompakt. Neben dem Blitz bietet das Gert jedoch auch eine LEDLeuchte mit 1.200 Lux, auerdem den QuickShiftBounceMechanismus fr hervorragend ausgeleuchtete Fotos. QuickShiftBounceMechanismus Den QuickShiftBounceMechanismus wendet Sony nicht zum ersten Mal an, denn das System bewhrt sich bereits einige Jahre. Whrend bei den meisten anderen Blitzgerten der Blitzkopf fr das indirekte Blitzen gedreht und geschwenkt wird, dreht Sony die Rckwand des Generators mit. Will man ins Hochformat wechseln, reicht die Drehung um eine Achse aus. Man spart sich aber nicht nur einen Handgriff, sondern sorgt auch fr eine bessere Gewichtsverteilung, da der Schwerpunkt des Blitzgertes nher am Kameragriff sitzt. Noch ein Vorteil die Schlagschatten beim direkten Blitzen fallen nicht mehr zur Seite, sondern wie nach unten wie man es durch das Querformat gewhnt ist. Im brigen wird das Display mit der GeneratorRckwand mitgedreht, dadurch sind Blitz und Kameradisplay gleichzeitig und ohne Verrenkungen abzulesen. LEDLeuchte Dank der NaviBenutzeroberflche und des informativen LCDisplays behlt man ohnehin immer die volle Kontrolle ber die Ausleuchtung des Motivs. Neben der hohen Blitzleistung begeistert der Blitz jedoch nicht nur Fotografen, sondern dient auch dank der LEDLeuchte mit 1.200 Lux zum Filmen von Videos. Daneben kann man drahtlos weitere Blitze steuern und somit eine ganze Szenerie stimmungsvoll beleuchten. Die Zoomsteuerung erfolgt automatisch. Alles in allem lsst sich das Blitzgert leicht bedienen.

Smaller than I expected which is great for the a7 series and serves its purpose just fine. It will adjust to aim either direct or bounce off the ceiling.

Since my camera does not have a builtin flash I wanted a light weight flash that was compatible with my camera Sony a7. Does everything I wanted.

This little flash is well suited to my A6000. It is light, has more power than the builtin flash and has bounce flash capability. Plus, the price is right. I couldnt ask for anything more.

Trs bien fichu, avec tous les quipements souhaitables et un tui le protgeant bien, cest un trs bon flash pour ceux qui nont pas peur de trimbaler un peu de matos pour parer toute situation. Attention, il faut quand mme faire leffort de lire le mode demploi, car mme si le fonctionnement de base est simple, les possibilits sont tellement nombreuses, quil faut faire attention ce quon fait, notamment avec le contrle du ratio en mode sans fil. Jai galement achet un HVLF20M en second flash pour piloter ce flash distance, mais je suis trs du le 20 M sur le botier peut piloter lHVLF60 distant, mais ce momentl, lclair du 20 M ne participe pas lclairage, seulement la commande distance. Dautre part, le 20 M ne fonctionne que quelques clairs sur des accumulateurs AAA de 850 mAh, il lui faut des piles 1,5 V pour vraiment durer. Bref, jai achet enfin un HVLF43M en second flash pour avoir un flash clairage commande sur le botier, et un flash distant avec le 60 M. Et l, tout se passe bien, on fait enfin ce que lon veut.

This is a great kit This comes in handy when youre traveling and you need all your supplies to produce the perfect picture. I bought this only at Amazon.com and I love it. The triPod wasnt as sturdy as I thought it would be but I have an extra one so itll work as a backup.

I generally avoid using flash, either builtin or external. But I recently found myself shooting a gathering in a very dimly lit quite dark, actually setting, one that would require at least ISO 3200 if I didnt use flash support. My NEX 7 lens kit doesnt include any f2.8 or faster lenses, so I thought flash would be absolutely necessary if I wanted to keep the ISO value low enough to prevent intrusive noise. Well, this small and reasonably priced flash did the job, whether used in bounce mode or direct. I am pretty impressed with its performance. The typical flash look was minimal if nonexistent in some cases. And it added next to no weight to my kit. Battery life AAAs isnt pretty short, so take along at least 812 spares for a full days shooting. It eats its power pretty quickly. Other than that, Id say this is a surprisingly good flash that exceeded my expectations.
bahaderg –
Found this to be a quality product. Great for every day small shooting and works just like a pop up flash. It saves having to lug my larger hhv 60 round with me. The wireless feature. Is excellent. It can. Fire my other flash. And work like a studio always TTL control without Messi cables.

The flash is a small flash I use for my A6300 nearby subjects and I use it for a trigger foryou more powerful Sony flashes.

Dieses Blitzlicht und auch Bouncer habe ich extra gekauft damit meine 4 Monate alte Tochter nicht direkt das Blitzlicht jedesmal abbekommt. Durch den Deckenblitz habe ich Super Fotos und meine Tochter mache ich damit auch nicht Blind
Joyhanna –
Flash works well, easy to use when its down, its off when its up, its on. Small wheel that moves components inside the flash for various angles. Charges quickly for consecutive pictures. Have it attached to Sony a6000 which is only 13 months old but the flash already burned out…totally annoyed….but thats for another post flash results are different, so it takes getting used to. Distance seems shorter than camera flash. Better option than paying 200 to have my camera flash fixed, but still prefer the camera flash.

nice convenient flash. camera metered well with it. flesh tones not blown out. recycle time takes a couple of seconds, but that is to be expected with two AAA power.

Fr meine Zwecke und Gelegenheitsschnappschsse reicht dieses Blitzgert voll und ganz aus. Wer allerdings eine hochwertige Sony alpha 7R oder 7R II besitzt, sollte ber einen HVLF60M nachdenken bei dem ein sehr hochwertiger DiffusorBouncer zum Lieferumfang gehrt. Auerdem ist bei dem F60M, der Blitzkopf fr den Hochformatbetrieb drehbar. Ein nicht zu unterschtzender Vorteil. Um noch einmal auf den F32 zu kommen Einen passenden Bouncer gibt es leider fr den HVLF32M immer noch nicht mageschneidert leider nur einige Hilfskonstruktionen, die leicht vom Bitzkopf abfallen. Ansonsten ist dieser, fr seine kompakte Grw, sehr leistungsfhig und bentig nur 2 AA Akkus.

Ich bin mit dem Blitzgert an der DSCHX60 super zufrieden. Gute Ausleuchtung durch verstellbare Neigung und den ausziehbaren Lenkschirm. Arbeite damit nun ein 34 Jahr. Beim Bild mit der Leinwand wurde indirekt ber die Decke geblitzt, damit das Bild auf der Leinwand noch zu erkennen ist, das Bild wre mit dem eingebauten Blitz kaum ansprechend mglich gewesen.

Compact but overpriced for the build and features. This was probably not a wise choice for me, as I want a flash for my A7Rii only for fillflash purposes, but this flash does not offer HSS . . . and the flashes that do are much larger than I want. Not crazy about the onoff switch arrangement. Why not just put an actual switch on the flash Anyway, it is small and it works.

De flitser werkt op twee aparte aaabatterijen. De flits synchroniseert prima met mijn videocamera AX53 en kan dmv een schakelaar recht vooruit of via plafondreflectie gebruikt worden. Mocht de afstand te groot zijn voor de flits dan zou je de diffuser kunnen wegschuiven voor een groter bereik.
Anonymous –
Makkelijk te plaatsen op de intelligente interface van de camera. Flitst zonder diffusor best ver. D.m.v. een schakelaar kan de flits recht naar boven of recht naar voren gericht worden, al dan niet met gebruik van de diffusor. Aan of uitzetten kan dmv het neerklappen van de flitser, of door de camera uit te zetten. In de gebruiksaanwijzing wordt aangegeven na veelvuldig achter elkaar flitsen 20x de flitser even rust te geven. Zorg ook voor extra AAAbatterijen als je veel fotos maakt.

Kompaktes Blitzgert, das sich insbesondere fr Reisen eignet. Weniger eine Hauptlichtquelle, sondern eher ein Aufhellblitz. Passt ausgezeichnet zu meiner Sony a6500 Ausrstung. Der ausklappbare Blitz der a6500 lsst sich in der Praxis kaum einsetzen, da es mehr oder weniger starke Abschattung gibt bei aufgesetzter Gegenlichtblende.
TED –
Tiny flash with bounce capabilities that adds a stop or two more power than the A6000 popup flash. Only negative is that its design prevents leaving the batteries in the unit if one wants topack it in its unfolded position. No big deal, but wish that ithad a simple onoff switch.

Harmoniert sehr gut mit z.B. alpha 58 Alle Funktionen sind abrufbareinstellbar wie red eye reduction, rear curtain sync, slow sync, preflashttl, und adi. Mit Objektive wie sal1855 oder sal55200 wird der BlitzZoom automatisch eingestellt zwischen 24105 mm, kann aber nicht per Hand am Blitz eingestellt werden Auch wireless als slave auslsbar durch eingebauter Blitz an der Kamera oder als WL controller. Viele dieser Funktionen werden an der Kamera eingestellt und nicht am Blitz selber man braucht also die richtigekompatibile Kamera mit MI Schuh und da hilft nur eins, unbedingt vorher informieren damit erst gar keine Enttuschungen aufkommen. Manuel in kleine Stufen einstellbar von 11 bis 1128stel. Der Blitz ist leicht und kompakt da nur 2 Batterien, also hlt nicht so lange durch aber das geht voll in Ordnung, gut neigbar von 8 bis 90 Grad und schwenkbar 90 bis 180 Dreiviertel Rund und mit eingebautem Streublende und weissem Streuschirm. Fr 299 vielleicht zu teuer aber fr 200 gut und voll kompatibel mit Sony Kamera wichtiger Aspekt. Sehr gut verarbeitet bzw. sehr wertig.

I bought this for my Sony A7 RIII and worked when it arrived. Stored it in my camera bag until today about 30 days. It would not work. At first I thought it was the battery so I put a fresh set of AAA in and no result. The green light turns on and then the red light goes on then all lights off. No response. I read on DPR that this is a common defect. I hope I can return mine. So disappointed that Sony can sell such a product.

Gerade wenn man an seiner Alpha 7 oder 6000 etc. einen kompakten Blitz sucht, ist der F32M ideal. Der F43M oder gar F60M sind schwere Brocken und werden auch mit 4 Batterien betrieben. Der F32M ist im Vergleich ein Leichtgewicht und passt besser zu einer kompakten Alpha Ausrstung. Die Blitzleistung ist meiner Meinung nach mehr als ausreichend. Man sollte aber 2 Ersatzbatterien dabei haben. Fr mich der ideale Blitz

This was a replacement as broke my first after 6 years This little beauty has been all over the world with me. I own bigger on camera flashes but realised they are pretty pointless with the latest digital cameras where all you often need is a bit of fill in flash. This is so light it stays on the camera all day and even bounces and has a wide filter and tele setting. Its a bit plasticky but that means it is light. Not many other features but not needed really.
Jerry –
Love the handy, compact size of this shortrange flash. As an avid traveler and travel photographer, Im always looking for ways to minimize the weight and bulk of my photo gear… and at the same time, achieve the best professional results. This little gem is just the ticket for shortrange fill under highcontrast daylight conditions, and a good companion for my Sony a7 III. It would be 5 stars, except for the lack of a manual or automatic shutoff with camera shutoff. Obviously, its not a replacement for a fullsize, more powerful flash, but when size matters and for what it is… its pretty cool.

Der Blitz ist zuverlssig und leuchtet die Fotos gut aus. Die Handhabung ist etwas gewhnungsbedrftig, das heit, beim Abnehmen des Blitzes von der Kamera gibt es stets Schwierigkeiten und es dauert ziemlich lange.

Dont expect this little fella to be a bigtime external flash. It is limited in range and can only be pointed in one direction. But it is efficient, conveniently bends forward to the off position and thus out of the way and works great. On a separate but related note, Sony could do us all a favor and make their hot shoe compatible with the canonnikon configuration, thus opening up the whole world of third party flashes but that doesnt seem to be Sonys MO.

Small, compact and adds just right touch of light in the shadows. Uses easy to find AAA batteries. Cons Awkward off position sometimes gets in the on position when in the bag if moved around. No flash test button a flash costing this much should have one. Difficult to tell when in the tele or WA position. Not that heres a lot of difference between the two positions that I could tell. But all in all worth the money.

While I loved my popup flash on the A700 to trigger offcamera real flashes, it was the biggest sacrifice when I went to the A99. I have three Sony offcamera well, could be used oncamera flashes through their generations, and they are perfect with umbrellas and diffusers for studio flashes. Now I have the ability to fire them. And, in a pinch, the different orientations and diffusion options on the F20M allow for quick, creative flash inapinch.

I bought this flash because I have the Sony 18200 lens with a NEX6 and the lens is so big that the flash incorporated with the camera makes a shadow. I only use it for personal photograph. So after some time with this flash I can say that has exceptional power, the height is ideal for any lens. No way can you make a shadow even with full zoom. It has two modes, direct and bounce. And it also has a removable filter. Only two thing Im not totally satisfied 1 It uses two AAA batteries. The flash I had with the NEX5 used the battery from the camera so I didnt have to carry any additional chargers. 2 Size is pretty big compared with the flash I used in the NEX5.

I tried a small Metz flash with my new Sony RX1 RM2 which I had to return to BH. Customer service at BH is outstanding. They fired off the Sony HVLF29M and gave me credit on the Metz. Since Sony removed the built in flash on the new RX1 RM2s, this flash is the perfect replacement. Works great.

The design is OK and it works as advertised. However, I dont like the fact that the flashs onoff switch is in the hot shoe flipping up the flash turnes the flash on. Bad about is that you cannot put the flash flat in a bag so it does waste some space…

The pros Light and wellbalanced for small cameras. Takes AAA batteries Reasonably priced. works well as an addon to the cameras internal flash for fill flash. The cons Its fairly limitedweak power. the onoff switch being the folding hotshoe is akward. Prefered an onoff switch. Hotshoe filmsy connection. Difficult to attach diffusers.
Christopher –
Cool little pocket flash for the RX10. No onoff switch, that had me confused a little. Just raise it upright in the hotshoe and youre ready to shoot. Its ideal for closeup images, especially with the nifty bounce feature off a piece of card. Itd make a nice little fillflash for portraits set at minus 3 stops in the RX10s flash menu.
GeneV –
I bought this flash thinking I would use it to control a bigger flash for wireless TTL. However, this little flash has proven far more useful by itself than I imagined. I really like the small size, but I was skeptical of the capacity of a flash powered by two AAA batteries. So far, the number of flashes has been more than acceptable, and carrying a couple of extra rechargeable AAA batts is no problem. The biggest surprise was the bounce capability. Ive had small flashes with nominal guide number ratings similar to this, and the bounce was of very little use. This one does quite well in a home with 8 to 10 ceilings. The only thing which keeps this from 5 stars is the price. Granted, the dedication features and the design are great, but it is a little steep for a flash of this power
ebony.s –
Perfect for getting that perfect shot The flash it super bright and makes your pictures super detailed.
Marco –
Bought this flash for the A7RIV. It is a great substitute for an in camera flash offering the convenience that built in flashes bring but with just a little more power and versatility. It is also simple to use basically it has just two settings direct and bounce. One minor drawback is that when it is in the folded portion on the camera it is off there is no way to use it unless it is upright which is unfortunate because in folded position it is much less obtrusive. I wouldnt get this flash if you are looking for a flash which lots of different options in terms of light dispersion, etc. Great for what it is intended to do. You can basically leave it on the camera and forget about it until you need it.
Tommy –
I migrated from all the highend pro gear to the Sony line, mirrorless, to have smaller, lighter equipment. So this small, lighter flash fits right in. It is powerful enough to do the few flash shots that I do. Seems fairly well built and I like the small format, the flexibility it has. Im looking forward to a long life with this.
Jeffrey –
The flash does was it claims to do. I wish there was an onoff switch other the lifting the flash up to the extended position
InAHurry –
Other reviewers gave plenty of warning that this is a flash with very limited capabilities and I wont claim to be surprised that its low output imposes considerable limitations. I bought it for the small size and light weight benefits with the intention of improving the lighting when taking very amateur portraits. To that end it is more or less adequate although the control over the bounce angle is poorer than expected. One almost needs to also carry a reflector, which would completely negate any size benefits. If one has a patient subject and multiple shots are possible, a satisfactory result can be obtained. The cycle time for the flash is pretty good. This unit is very particular about battery condition and I had to change batteries when the current pair still measured 1.32 volts. Not unique to this flash, the Multi Interface shoe is a pain in the backside because it is necessary to remove contact covers from both the flash and the camera when installing the flash. Id intended for this flash to see limited use but am disppointed that it has even greater limitations than Id expected. In fairness to the equipment, better results may be achieved if I put a lot more time and effort into learning to work around its power and bounce limitations. Top marks to BH for excellent customer service in this transaction.

Item is okay with a distance of 15ft. purchase item because it is light weight. Also 4AA NiMH batteries and charger is of no value as the flash only uses AAA
andrew.a –
The external flash I love it, the camera itself works great in dark low light areas already and the built in flash is enough but if you want more coverage of light and make it seem like it was never dark at all this is a must product plus its always handy
Jorge –
I have a Sony alpha 7iii camera and as long as I used it, the easy way to connect was amazing.
Vanessa –
Great small flash, I appreciate how light and easy it is to use. The rechargeable batteries help a ton since the batter life isnt too long. For the price it is worth it
MICHAEL –
Inexpensive way to add a flash that can sync to an eternal flash
Mario –
i use it in a low light places
Chris –
The flash is a small flash I use for my A6300 nearby subjects and I use it for a trigger foryou more powerful Sony flashes.

This was a replacement as broke my first after 6 years This little beauty has been all over the world with me. I own bigger on camera flashes but realised they are pretty pointless with the latest digital cameras where all you often need is a bit of fill in flash. This is so light it stays on the camera all day and even bounces and has a wide filter and tele setting. Its a bit plasticky but that means it is light. Not many other features but not needed really.
sony cam fan –
Picked this up as a wireless trigger for my other flash units so far it is effective. I was hoping it would lay flatter against the camera when in the off position but its certainly workable as is.
butch –
love it paired with my sony a7r. small, lightweight, straight foward
Mendocino Steve –
I dont use flash often, but this is a great match for the RX10. Seems to work fine.
Marvin –
GREAT little flash, easy to carry, just right for a broad fill in.Thanks Sony
Tony Vazquez Artist –
A basic no nonsense flash. With some creativity you can get a lot out of this affordable product. Very compact, perfect for light traveling. Ideal for mirrorless cameras for example the sony a 7II . Packs a powerful light that can be directed, bounced, and softened. Recharges quite fast.
Alan –
Will throw light several feet further than the builtin flash
Melrose –
Love it. Small enough for my camera but provides what I need. I like the sleek look. Thanks for the advice

I generally avoid using flash, either builtin or external. But I recently found myself shooting a gathering in a very dimly lit quite dark, actually setting, one that would require at least ISO 3200 if I didnt use flash support. My NEX 7 lens kit doesnt include any f2.8 or faster lenses, so I thought flash would be absolutely necessary if I wanted to keep the ISO value low enough to prevent intrusive noise. Well, this small and reasonably priced flash did the job, whether used in bounce mode or direct. I am pretty impressed with its performance. The typical flash look was minimal if nonexistent in some cases. And it added next to no weight to my kit. Battery life AAAs isnt pretty short, so take along at least 812 spares for a full days shooting. It eats its power pretty quickly. Other than that, Id say this is a surprisingly good flash that exceeded my expectations.

This flash is what I needed for the price. I did however not realize that I needed an attachment to fit the flash to my camera since I guess my camera is on the older side. Now that I have the correct shoe attachment I am the happiest camper on the block. One of the only things I really wanted was not available in my price range, I wanted a swivel head. Oh well. Great bang for the buck. The thing that I find is a little hard to get used to is that in order to turn off the flash it has to be in a bent position. So it makes it a little difficult to store since I want to make sure that it does not go in by accident. I just take the batteries out. Easy solve.
jessica.d –
The triPod alone is top grade. Levelers located on the base help you get a straight shot. Locks the camera in place and is very reliable. Amazing product.
miriam.r –
As much as I love my carama is not the same with the triPod is super easy to use yes of course its the coolest feature yes it meet my expectations in so many ways I 100 recommend this product with everyone
Marco –
Bought this flash for the A7RIV. It is a great substitute for an in camera flash offering the convenience that built in flashes bring but with just a little more power and versatility. It is also simple to use basically it has just two settings direct and bounce. One minor drawback is that when it is in the folded portion on the camera it is off there is no way to use it unless it is upright which is unfortunate because in folded position it is much less obtrusive. I wouldnt get this flash if you are looking for a flash which lots of different options in terms of light dispersion, etc. Great for what it is intended to do. You can basically leave it on the camera and forget about it until you need it.
cynthia.b –
This would be great for outdoor being in the dark and having that mysterious kinds of pictures
Jcp –
Ive only used the flash a couple of times so far, and its doing just what I expected. Not the greatest articulation, but good for basic flash requirements.
Eddie –
a simple flash that works i had low expectation from this device however i had surprised from the good results. goon money value. dont like the onoff switch feels fragile. my gear a6000 Sony T E 1670mm f4 ZA OSS Lens
Luis –
If you are starting, are not looking for different setups, club photos, I would say its a good accessory to start with. To be honest, if it could pantilt would be perfect to me.
COAST –
Small, meant to be carried in the pocket, yet more powerful than a builtin flash. It does its job well. Excellent for work in small rooms, or as fill flash. For biggroup pictures youd need something larger.
amanda.c –
Interesting and makes a good bright light at night time. Nice to have handy and good price. Big and worth it for camera users
Shamsul Aqbary –
Great flash paired with my A7. The size is small and I can easily slip it in the compartment in my bag. The only lack of this flash is that I can use it only when taking picture horizontally, but while the A7 in vertical, I cant tilt the flash to bouce upwards to the ceiling.
Carlos –
Cheapest but fell that can break very easy. For the price is a good choice
HomebrewerNJ –
Since my camera does not have a builtin flash I wanted a light weight flash that was compatible with my camera Sony a7. Does everything I wanted.
Anonymous –
This flash makes your pictures look professional, pretty, and brightens it up
bahaderg –
Found this to be a quality product. Great for every day small shooting and works just like a pop up flash. It saves having to lug my larger hhv 60 round with me. The wireless feature. Is excellent. It can. Fire my other flash. And work like a studio always TTL control without Messi cables.
Mike –
This is the perfect traveling flash for the Ar7ll. Its light weight and powerful enough for most situations. Highly recommended
Carl –
Smaller than I expected which is great for the a7 series and serves its purpose just fine. It will adjust to aim either direct or bounce off the ceiling.
DARIUSZ J. –
I like it very much .It work great with my Alpha 6000
Lewis –
works great
Rafael –
I am using this flash because I do not travel with much weight other than the Sony A6500 and 3 lenses. This clever flash is small, light, easy to handle, love the bouncing capability and tele mode. Not for pros, but great for travel.
William B. –
Works great and is compact. The bounce function works well for interiors.
Hoang –
very good.
mina.h –
This flash is easy to use, but not very good for photography purposes. I would recommend this for beginners or someone who just needs a simple flash for basic photos.

Far too complicated. Im a shoot and run gal. I miss the moments with too many do this and thats. Lol
MAGGIE –
Great for fill flash
Will –
I use the flash to increase the light output of my Sony RX 100 II, the builtin flash of the camera is okay for very close subjects but is not adequate for subjects which are 10 to 15 feet away.

The unit itself was a pleasant surprise. Gives great photos with the ceiling bounce, very pleasing to the eyes. Now let me explain how I came about this flash. I first purchased the HVLF60M a few weeks back. I only did one shoot with it, which was for my newborn nephew. In 3.5 hours, trying as hard as I could I only was able to capture 73 photos with the flash about 1 photo every 3 minutes average because I spent the majority of the time waiting for the darn thing to not be overheated. Check this flash out it is widely known for its overheating. It never felt warm to me batteries or flash but kept displaying the error. So I returned that flash out of frustration. I decided to give the HVLF43M a try, as it still had sufficient power for anything I needed photo wise. I was also interested in getting it to work as an off camera flash. Well this ended up pretty much being a no brainer 2 Flashes for the same price of the overheating piece of junk I had previously. Now I came home, popped in fresh batteries and gave it the best stress test I could do. In 35 minutes, I snapped 362 photos with the HVLF20M on the camera, and the HVLF43M sitting elsewhere in the room. FINALLY after my finger was getting sore did the HVLF43M give me the overheated warning HVLF20M still seemed to want to keep trucking. Batteries still seem to be sufficient in both flashes after letting sit to cool, so that is another plus. Lets see 1 photo every 3 minutes, or about 10 photos a minute I will take this super combo, thank youOne final note as I was really mainly stress testing HVLF43M, the only ready light I paid attention to was the HVLF43M. Quite often I never let the HVLF20M CHG light light up meaning I was firing it at reduced strength and EVERY time it was still strong enough to set off my HVLF43M.

Ist ein idealer ZweitBlitz zum Mitnehmen. Drahtlos blitzen mglich. passt mit dem entspr. Adapter sogar auf meine lteren Kameras. Schade, dass sich der Blitz nur in der Vertikalstellung einschalten lsst
Joel –
I use it on my A7r and find that it is great for those snapshot type pics. It has a few nice functions like bounce and telephoto, but the best thing is that it is so compact. Only negative I can see is that it is too expensive for what you are getting. Should be tops.
dev.r –
Super good especially because Im a YouTuber and need things like there it may be a small package but its worth it at least you have something to work with
Jaxon Media Group –
Great bouncing flash I use it on my a7s and since its so sensitive there is not that much need for a flash but it helps amazingly well to fill up a room
elsid. –
It was a good choise i think for this product, i mean it was reliable, and i cannot change it anymore, great product
Sherif –
Very good product
germano –
Despite Sonys website saying that it is compatible with Alpha58, there needs to be an adapter , not included, which adds odd dimensions to flash and costs as much as 30 of the cost of the flash.
Josephj –
Excellent performance and well constructed
Michael –
If you are looking for a reliable, straightforward flash for your Sony camera, this is perfect. It works great without a lot of bells and whistles. I use it to trigger other flashes and I love the compact design.
William K. –
I like the feature that I can attach this flash to my NEX6, fold it forward, and it there when I need it. I just flip it to the vertical, wait a few seconds for it to charge, and Im all set to use it. Its ideal for those times when the builtin flash isnt strong enough. I have yet to try the builtin wireless feature so I cant comment on it. I tried a burst of 3 photos the this flash kept up. I would recommend it to those who are looking for an easy to use addition to their built in flash.

Selon le service technique, mais contrairement aux spcifications indiques, il nest pas possible de lutiliser comme contrleur en mode TTL. Un trs mauvais point pour Sony Quand le produit ne correspond pas sa description, cela sapparente de la tromperie, ce qui est condamnable lgalement…
Creepyjackelope –
I wanted a small and cheap flash for my A7rii. You cant beat the price. I wish it had manual adjustments and that there was an on off switch instead of having to pop it up to turn it on but… you cant beat the price.
Gonzalo –
good and strong flash light and small use regular AAA batteries
Phillip –
This small but very effective flash is the perfect compliment to the Sony a6000. Small, easy to use, adds just the right amount of flash. I also use it on my a7 and it really delivers. Especially on the street where you need it photographing people in the shadows.
Don –
This is a small, light weight, that works well on a Sony A7r. I dont like to use flash, but sometimes you need a little more light. This serves the purpose. It does nothing special well enough.
Anonymous –
I do mostly natural lightavailable light, but if I need a flash, this is what I want. I especially love the small size with a nice little flannel bag. The ceiling bounce is sweet. Perfect on my A7.
Carol –
I used this flash on my Sony a7Riii to do offcamera flash shooting. Once I had it fully snapped onto my hot shoe, it worked like a charm. The battery charger came with 4 batteries, 2 for this flash and 2 for my other flash. Perfect
Bruce –
Direct and straight up bounce only but small and light. Simple to use and prefect for the tiny RX1R II.
Archi –
Flash itself is good for light photo tasks, it is not a professional flash but it is especially one of the best for travel, one thing that makes it more appealing is the Adorama bundle which comes with it.
Kimmac –
I basically bought this unit to facilitate the remote flash capability of my Sony DSCRX10. It is a handy little flash, but perhaps not as sturdily constructed as I would like. It has a little dial on one side marked tele that by turning it onto the tele setting is intended to adjust the flash profile to improve shots of things that are a bit beyond the range of the standard setting.Frankly the difference it appeared to make was, to me, pretty marginal. But that is not the worst part The little dial broke after only a few uses and now just spins uselessly…way too fragile or perhaps faulty from the outsetDisappointing, but bearing in mind my overriding purpose for buying it in the first place, it still performs that function well.
James –
The bundle is nice but I cant use it because this flash unit doesnt rotate.

Great little flash. Very strong for its size and small enough that you dont have to keep taking it on and off all the time. I would advise anyone to stay with a Sony brand Flash and accessories instead of a third party manufacturer. Although I do have some non manufacturer lens that are great.
MACIEJ –
One of my best purchases of 2018, recommend this bundle
Peter –
This works well as an addon to the cameras internal flash. Its fairly limited in power, and dont expect it to rival the top of the line strobes available, but for the price and the cameras youd be using it with, it gets the job done. Only negative is the onoff switch being the folding hotshoe.

FANTASTIC flash These flash units are really a great purchase for the Sony system at an affordable cost. The units are compact and full of great features. My only two complaints are that the units are small enough that many of the universal flash gel attachmentsbands are too large for them, and the slightly long recycle times. I just use a traditional rubberband to attach the flash gels and it works fine. The recycle times are good, but they are slightly slow around max output. At 11 power, the recycle time is about 15 seconds, about 6 seconds at 12, and a couple seconds at 14 when fire in succession immediate recycle with just a couple shots. At 18 the recycle times become pretty quick. At 132 I can get off about 13 shots before needing a few seconds to recycle. I own four of these flashes and as an enthusiast photographer, I could not be more happy.

I have the sonyA6000 and needed a flash since the lens I bought is long and the flash thats attached caused a shadow when I used it. This one is very light, small and easy to use. It gives more than the built in. Not really powerful but enough for my needs.

The Sony HVLF20M External Flash is perfect fits well, works perfectly and give us possibility to take great pictures when the light conditions are not good enough. I use it to shoot outdoors and indoors pictures as well recording movies. I guess it is great to offer easy set to adjust range light as well brightness. The unique negative point is the price. In fact, it is not an affordable price item, but you can be sure all of your pics will be great

This flash is very good for general shooting. I would recommend

Is worth getting a specially if you block do stuff like that so I gave it a 10
Richard –
This flash is the same as the HVLf20AM flash, with the addition of the new MSI attachment. Unfortunately the height of the new flash is the same as the HVLF20AM with the IISO to MSI adaptor. This means the flash sits higher on the camera and is much more vunerable in the standb position
Dave –
Not sure why this listed as a assessory for the Sony A7S II Camera, does not fit the hot shoe and connector contacts are totally different. Wasted money
HUNG L. –
good for close up shot. Working OK . Good tool for traveling light and compact
Joyhanna –
Flash works well, easy to use when its down, its off when its up, its on. Small wheel that moves components inside the flash for various angles. Charges quickly for consecutive pictures. Have it attached to Sony a6000 which is only 13 months old but the flash already burned out…totally annoyed….but thats for another post flash results are different, so it takes getting used to. Distance seems shorter than camera flash. Better option than paying 200 to have my camera flash fixed, but still prefer the camera flash.

A very nice adjunct to the compact Sony A7 series if you got an A7 to go light and compact, this is a light and compact flash. It really does a very nice job surprisingly good given the size with bounce flash and as a fill flash. It works very nicely with eneloop rechargeable AAs. Biggest negative feature the onoff switch requires the flash be bent to be in the off position which makes little sense spacewise for the vast bulk of time the flash is off, i.e. stored. In part, because of this, for long terms I store the flash with the batteries removed. But this is a very small price for a flash that in some sense fits the minimal footprintmaximal feature philosophy of the A7 series.
David –
Add on to the built in flash on an A6000. I was amazed at the even coverage over the wide angle lens field and the power that handled 18mm at 15 feet.
ActionJunky –
The construction quality is on par with the cost of this flash. Care must be taken to properly store the flash, preventing potential damage. However, the simplicity of operation and light quality generated from this flash is outstanding. The onoff switch is the orientation of the flash. Lay it flat and the flash is turned off. Stand it up and the flash is turned on. This is super simple, but does require the flash to be vertical to operate. The flash head does rotate, internally to allow direct or bounce flash and includes an internal optional diffuser. This flash also works as a great master for remote flashes, but with some lag between flashes. The lag will not affect architectural photos, but could affect animals and people. Most will blink their eyes on the first flash and second flash will capture the image with eyes closed. Get a radio trigger if photographing animals or people.

I think its a good thing its a great idea for using it its very nice handy everything from Sonys very good good I like funny product and its quality and pictures Sonys camera sensors very good what is the most good quality Trust Sony for camera Canon is also good

Works well with Sony RX100ii, including TTL and bounce features. I wish I could find a compatible cord to use the flash offcamera. So far, it seems none exists. Currently I use this mainly as bounce flash and trigger for cheap optical offcamera flash. Would give it five starts if Sony or someone else made an extension cord for it.
Antonio N. –
I like the FVL F20M flash as a traveling and walk about companion to the Sony A7R. The small and lightweight flash recycles fast and give good TTL flash fill ins and main lighting.
Nick –
This flash is almost as big as the camera RX1 R II. Who would pay 3800 dollars for a point and shoot pro camera and then buy a flash thats the same size. Its ridiculous. This flash is as big as the camera Sony needs to come out with something thats small and powerful to match what theyve done with this incredible camera. I dont think there is a solution yet Ive searched and searched.
Bruce –
Direct and straight up bounce only but small and light. Simple to use and prefect for the tiny RX1R II.

Bought the F20M specifically to use with my NEX6, as an older 3rd party ISOstyle flash does not trigger at all. Ive been shooting in manual mode, using the cameras TTL with the flash to do action and portraiture in a variety of rooms, the largest of which is roughly 24×24 garagesized, and using both the stock 1650 as well as a SEL18200 and the 16mm pancake. Ive experimented with both bounce and direct as well as with and without the diffuser, which seem to be the only options selectable. Some shots have come out beautifully. Others, not so much. The main beef I have with the flash is that switching the flash onoff is done by rotating the flash. You would think that rotating the flash about the joint is what youd do in order to get variable bounce angle. Au contraire. You have exactly 2 designed options one is to flash direct, with the usual issues to do with hot spots and harsh shadows behind your subject, especially with such a small flash. The second is to bounce directly above you. Thats right if you shoot horizontal and are in a regular rectangular room, the bounce goes straight up. As near as I can tell, the bouncedirect slider is designed with detentes which make the flash unit rotate and tend to snap into either straight up or straight forward. If you want an angle, youre out of luck you need to add on a reflector of some sort. I experimented with doing a funny halfangle, but this was not very reliable and, worse, would make the flash intersect half the diffuser. Under 1012 feet from the subject, bounce mode gave me great pictures welllit, good temperature, etc. Over that, Id have to rely on direct, even if I tried bounce with the flash power cranked up to 2.0 on the NEX6. Apart from this limitation, though, the flash is what one of the other reviewers claimed quite a good trooper, getting through many shots on a pair of charged NiMH AAs. Ill have to try experimenting with graftedon diffusers and reflectors next and see if I can pull any better performance out.

It is small, weak and cant be adjusted much for shooting conditions. Out of the box, it did not operate wirelessly as stated in th instructions. Im not conviced it is tryky TTL… I see ni way to tell. There is no LCD screen. It does noy even trigger my slave flash. Possibky ok for travel dnapshots when you need a tiny bit of flash. .

The most irritatiing thing with most new Pro Cameras today is that they dont have a popup flash. I personally think its one of the biggest mistakes with companies like Canon and Sony. I purchased this flash to make up for the missing popup flash on my new Sony A7. ProsProvides great lighting.I like the bounce and direct feature.This however is the best small flash available for the A7 and A7s.
Jack Flash –
This really works great. I have used it twice and the images off my video camera are amazing.

This little flash is well suited to my A6000. It is light, has more power than the builtin flash and has bounce flash capability. Plus, the price is right. I couldnt ask for anything more.

It would be nice if it had a bit more flexibility in angle and for the use of external diffusers, etc. But, for what it is, it is great little flash that helps with indoor or occasional use.

Love the handy, compact size of this shortrange flash. As an avid traveler and travel photographer, Im always looking for ways to minimize the weight and bulk of my photo gear… and at the same time, achieve the best professional results. This little gem is just the ticket for shortrange fill under highcontrast daylight conditions, and a good companion for my Sony a7 III. It would be 5 stars, except for the lack of a manual or automatic shutoff with camera shutoff. Obviously, its not a replacement for a fullsize, more powerful flash, but when size matters and for what it is… its pretty cool.
