Re: Very powerful but not perfect (M6 mark ii Review)

+3 to bouncing a flash. For quick and easy I like to aim an Omnibounce straight up. Works great. I also like the Gary Fong Lightblade. Works similarly. Very effective.

There are two compact flash units that pair especially well with a body like the M6ii. The Godox TT350c (Adorama Flashpoint Zoom-mini) is quite light, and the Nissin i40 is just as compact but uses 4AA instead of 2 AA (it's more powerful, faster cycling).

I especially like their (external) controls because I set flash power manually. I have scads of other flashes, radios, and light modifiers. Holler if you have any questions.

BTW if you want to be able to shoot flash at 14 FPS, then “tape over” the flash communication terminals on the hotshoe, leaving just the larger x-sync terminal open, and then set flash power manually. This gets rid of any lag.

Happy shooting!
