For those who are waiting on the TT350F, it is NICE! and SMALL! Here is the size compared to a YN560IV which is the size of a normal flash. The bag is a little deceptive as they have a white flash difuser on the flash which makes it about a CM longer in the bag but out of the bag you can see the difference.

Interesting to see eside my nikon SB800 and SB900 in keeping with downsizing from my FF kit

Time is the only thing I don't have enough of.
I'm guessing the comparison would be pretty similar

Can the TT350 swivel horizontally ? Is it powerful enough to bounce from a ceiling of 15' ?

It's better than I expected to be honest. It takes a little longer to recharge than the bigger flashes but it seems pretty capable.

Our ceilings are about 10" at home and it seems to have no issues lighting a room. HSS and TTL seems to work a treat so far but I haven't done extensive testing. I'm pretty happy with it given the price and performance.

Thank you.

May I know what 'Flash Coverage (24-105mm) means ? What happens if I shoot outside of that range ?

I wonder if we can trigger this flash off-camera with the built-in flash of X-T20.



With 36GN, it seems even more powerful than my Nikon SB700.
 
Is this one of the best Flash for the X-T series ? How's compared to the Fuji flashes ?
Camnu,

I've read a lot of good things about Godex but have no personal experience with them.

The Nissin flashes are also highly rated.

I have a Metz M400 that's just about perfect for the Fuji mirrorless cameras. It costs a few more dollars than the Nissin i40 and quite a bit more than the Godex flashes but it is an excellent flash.

Just the same, like I said, I've read a lot of very good things about Godex so they're probably a safe bet.

Edit: When compared to the newer Fuji EF-X500 These flashes are a little less powerful.
Is there a specific trigger for the Metz m400, made by Metz? Or would one need to use the cactus/roboshoot triggers?

As for the Fuji flash, looks like it has no rf radio receiver, and is just line of sight, so that seems like a kind of downer of a limitation.
To be honest, I don't know. :-)

Here is a pretty good overview of the Metz: http://www.metz-mecatech.de/en/lighting/flash-units/system-flash-units/mecablitz-m400.html

I don't use my mirrorless camera for anything other than general purpose photography and have never bothered to check on off-camera lighting accessories.

However, I do love flash photography and wanted the "best" small flash I could get for the mirrorless camera.

That's not to say the M400 is actually the "best" because there are other very good flash units but the Metz is very good and Metz has made dependable lighting equipment for many years.

Anyway, people say a lot of good things about the very inexpensive Godex and Nissin flashes are also very popular so a Metz may not be the best choice for many people.

Just the same, it's a flash unit that's fairly new and that's overlooked by some who might find it a better choice than other units.

Yes, but only 270º. My biggest disappointment. It's 180º to the right, 90º to the left.

Not really. Only 2xAA batteries. I'd say wait for a TT685/V860II if you want more power. But of course, then it might be too heavy for a mirrorless body.

The flash head has a zoom feature to change the size of the "circle" of light that the flash outputs so that it can match different lens focal lengths. 24-105mm coverage means that the flash can cover the field of view between a 24mm lens all the way out to a 105mm lens.

Nothing happens if you use a lens with a focal length of longer than 105mm. You simply waste light on areas that are outside the field of view of the lens. If you use a lens wider than 24mm the flash doesn't put out a circle of light big enough to cover the field of view. So you'll have severe light falloff around the edges.

Not in TTL mode. The TT350 can be triggered in manual mode by another flash when in the Slave 1 or Slave 2 optical trigger modes. But no TTL or HSS. Straight manual.

You need to compare apples to apples. The GN of the TT350 is 36 @105mm. The GN of the SB700 is often listed as 28 @35mm. However, the GN of the SB700 is 37 @105mm. So, no, the Godox is not more powerful than the SB700.

Just to supplement Michael's great explanation: what's happening in the head is that the flash tube is pushed either closer to or farther away from the front fresnel panel. The closer it is, the wider the beam gets. The farther back, the tighter and more focused the beam gets. That's why companies often report guide numbers at the tightest zoom--to look more powerful.
... If you use a lens wider than 24mm the flash doesn't put out a circle of light big enough to cover the field of view. ...
Unless you pull out and flip down the wide-angle diffuser panel, at which point, you get 14mm FoV coverage. And that setting locks until you push the panel all the way back in. If your zoom setting gets stuck at 14mm, check the panel is securely seated back in its slot.

Also, I have a TT350-O (I'm an MFT shooter) in hand, and while the light output was pleasantly surprising to me, it's still lower than on my 4xAA-powered speedlights (like, say a YN-560, which is more or less the same output as an SB-700), with a full-power burst recycle time of about 2.5-3s.

But that's just gut feel. Or maybe I'm overly influenced by the fact that it's only powered by 2xAA batteries.

Just ordered one for my X-t1. Hopefully exposure in TTL is as good as the little flash that comes with the body. It balances with ambient light amazingly well!

But, it could be triggered by another tt350 or by a radio trigger like the cactus v6ii or the roboshoot, right?

Just seeking clarification, because I am pretty unknowledgeable about flash stuff. Hoping you possibly jump in with this flash or maybe the Metz.

Yes. You’d need another TT350F, the Godox trigger which is released on the 25 July or 2 cactus (one for your camera and one for the flash)

Where did you hear or read that the 25 July is the release date for the trigger?
