Godox TT600 2.4G Wireless Camera Flash Speedlite with Diffuser, Master/Slave GN60 Manual Flash, HSS when paired off camera with Godox X Trigger System for Canon Nikon Pentax Olympus Fujifilm Panasonic

This is a remarkably good flash unit for the price. It has good power, vertical pivot of bounce and even swivels 180⁰.I was very pleased with its performance. Unfortunately, it was too big to handle with my digital pocket camera and I returned it. It has great features including master/slave TTL, etc. I found the build quality very good. If you are working with a DSLR or other full frame camera it could very easily fit the normal person's requirements.

This flash has been great for my nikon d3400. It comes with a soft diffuser cap which was a nice touch. I’ve taken many macro photos with it so far and have not needed to replace the 4 AAs yet. It’s a powerful flash and very user friendly! Definitely a great starter flash just know it’s not auto, it is manual( i prefer it for macro)

This is super easy to use and works well for my camera. Obviously, it is a lower end manual flash but it never failed to fire when needed and the batteries lasted a long time. This doesn’t have all of the bells and whistles but at times I would rather have the ease of this unit.

The media could not be loaded. Light is nice and bright, only about 1 & 1/3 stop less than AD200. Does not work well with alkaline batteries (any brand). If you use alkaline batteries, expect long recycle times 12+ seconds for a 1/1 flash.Duracell (2500 mah) rechargables work best, reducing recycle times to about 2.5-3 seconds for a single 1/1 flash.With Duracell rechargeable you can expect the following using 6 frames per second burst mode:1/1 power = a single flash 8-9 frames1/2 power = a single flash every 4-6 frames1/4 power = a single flash every other frame1/8 power = 2-4 continuous flashes every 6 frames1/16 power = 6 flashes out of 6 frames.1/32 - 1/128th power is able to keep up nicely, even in high drive mode (12 frames a second)

If you're looking for a good system to buy into, I think it's hard to get past Godox's strobes and speedlights. I have a number of other Godox/Flashpoint lights, and I just order a second TT600 to fill out my run-n-gun, three light off-camera portrait setup (now two of these and an AD200). With one of the X1T controllers, or even another Godox flash with commander built in (I've used my little , you could honestly do almost anything you want with enough of these TT600s. The fact that they can do high speed sync (HSS) up to 1/8000 with any brand of camera (again, so long as you have an appropriate trigger) is really impressive for $65, and there's nothing as capable in that price range from camera manufacturers (e.g. Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, etc.). The V-series lights that use 2000mAh rechargeable batteries are very enticing, but they have the same output, are double the price, and I already have quite the collection of Eneloop batteries that more than get the job done.If you're looking for a capable on-camera flash for bouncing, this will definitely do the job, but it requires a bit more effort since it doesn't support TTL. I've used my original TT600 this way to good effect numerous times, but with a little tweaking, a TTL speedlight makes the job quicker, easier, and more consistent. That being said, if you really want to get a better handle on how to use and incorporate flash into your event or portrait photos for fill, getting competent at using a manual flash can be very enlightening. Plus, if you're on a budget, it still works fine, just a little more trial-and-error.Overall, these lights are just really solid. The build is comparable to more expensive and similarly capable lights (features-wise) from Canon or Nikon. With good Eneloop Pro AAs in the chamber, recycle rates are pretty quick - probably about 2-3 seconds even for full power pops (you're honestly more likely to overheat the flash head if shooting really quickly at high power than run into recycle rate issues). In a HSS setup they're very reliable and work very well as fill for a higher-wattage key light in a softbox. The menus are pretty straightforward, and once you memorize how to put them into radio-triggered slave and groups, you'll probably never have to look at the manual again. I couldn't say what the customer service is like here in the states because I've never had a Godox light fail (and I've not been kind to my original TT600, if I'm being honest...), but if that's a concern buy the re-branded Flashpoint R2 through Adorama (same light, same triggers) as they'll back it up. My plan if I ever encounter a problem is to send it to Adorama for service/repair, but seeing as the price is so low on these lights in particular it's unlikely that repair would be notably cheaper than a new flash.(One thing to note about using the lights in slave/groups with a trigger is that they blink the AF assist lamp to let you know they have connection with the X1T trigger - doesn't bother me, but a friend of mine said it drives him crazy for some reason. To each their own, I suppose, but there's no way to turn it off.)As for the few people who have experienced quality control issues, I'm not sure why they didn't just return/exchange the defective light if it arrived not working properly; if it comes damaged/defective, Amazon should handle that.

I had one of their more expensive models that just stopped working. When I called for service they told me the parts would cost more than a new unit. Although I like many of the sophisticated features of the upscale model I really did not want a replacement with so many "bells and whistles". This is sort of bare bones but works and gives very good results.

So much better than the little camera flash. Great exposures and great color balance. Love it.

not compatible with canon Rebel t100
