Recommend a flash for Eos M50 and a diffuser
1

Hi all,

I'm planning to use my m50 for portraits when I travel, I often find interesting people to take portraits of and if you can't carry external lighting with you, then the next best thing is on camera fill flash.

So, I have 3 Canon 580 speedlites. All fantastic on my SLRs and off camera on radio triggers. I use a mini soft box diffuser that sits on top when they are on camera -  it looks a little silly but gets really good diffusion with on-camera flash.

I'm looking for something smaller and cheaper to use for my travel system on my Canon m but I want something that will produce good results - happy to carry a diffuser as well while I am away.

Power isn't really an issue as I use it more for fill flash in the day time. It must support HSS with the m50 as well. I generally use diffusers that lower the flash power a bit anyway. I'll be shooting portraits with 35mm and 50mm fast prime glass.

What do you recommend?

Cheers

Craig
