Godox?

Hi, I'm looking for a basic flash mostly for my E-M10 w grip, but also E-PM2. I will not have a chance to try flashes before I order.

Looking at these models: neewer TT560, Mcoplus/triopo TR950 & amazon basic flash.

Are they too big for the E-M10?

Also on eBay there's a Digital Concepts 528af flash that has TTL with older E and E-P bodies. Would it be compatible with my cameras?

Thanks

I bought a Fodox TT350O recently ( https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1341875-REG/godox_tt350o_ttl_mirrorless_camera_flash.html?c3api=2572%2C113041717267&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_Mjm6JuM2QIVhxePCh13xAW9EAAYASAAEgJEfvD_BwE ).

It is very cost friendly <US$75, only 200g in weight and reasonably balance on GX7/85. It has a GN 36, supports TTL, auto zoom from 24mm to 105mm (eq to FF), tiltable/pan head, slow and high Speed Syn, slave mode, off-camera flash (by flash trigger or wifi), rapid charging, so far not found it warm after intense use, and quite energy efficient (2 ordinary AA alkaline batteries could take 100+ shots and still going strong)...

If you don't mind the size and want a more powerful one, there are a few upper models of Godox to choose. I think Mod Martin has just started a thread on his V860II at https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/60727143.
