MEDALight F1 Mini Camera Flash Camera Flash Speedlite for Ricoh (GR3/GR3X,etc.) Fuji/Sony ZV1/Nikon/Canon,Digital Film Cameras,Portable Mini hot Shoe Flashlight for DSLR Cameras.(Silver)

Worked like a charm from out of the box. Put it on my Canon EOS M2, turned it on, and the flash fires in sync with the shutter without any additional work. Brightness settings are diverse, the brightest setting was surprisingly powerful for such a compact device. UPDATE: Decided to give it a shot on my Olympus OM10 film camera. Also worked like a charm. Color me extra impressed.

Flash is bright and works well!

Updated Review: I’ve decided to go with the MEDALight F1s instead. It’s smaller but still packs a punch. You can’t adjust the intensity of the flash, but it performs better than the F1, even when using the same settings. *Note: Neither of these flashes is large enough to fully clear the ZV-1 lens, which causes a shadow to appear on the right side of the picture. Initial review: After extensive research, I decided to purchase the Sony ZV-1 Mark I, which I believe is the best pocketable vlogging camera of 2024. I also previously purchased the following accessories before the mini MEDALight: Ulanzi external still light, Ulanzi F12 Speedlite/trigger flash, and Neewer softbox/flash diffuser. Here’s a summary of my experience: Pros: • The size of this fill flash is extremely portable. The Ulanzi and Neewer accessories are excellent but I was looking for something more portable to fit in my purse on a regular day. • It’s rechargeable, which is convenient since I typically carry a portable charger. AA/AAA batteries are inconvenient. Cons: • The connection clip is plastic rather than metal. Although it appears durable, if the plastic chips in a critical spot, the flash will become unusable. This has led me to consider returning it before the 30-day return window closes. I am also hesitant to purchase insurance due to past issues with other products (unrelated to MEDALight). • Larger, less expensive trigger flashes are available, making this item seem overpriced. In my opinion, it’s worth no more than $19.99, compared to the previous price of $20. I’m currently searching for a more affordable alternative before the 30-day return window ends. I considered purchasing the Canon G7X Mark III, but after using this mini flash, I’ve decided against it. If I choose to keep this flash, I will post an updated review with day and night test shots, both with and without the flash.

This is perfect! The battery life is extremely long, I think I’ve changed it once since getting it 6 months ago. Makes a huge difference in my photos and fits my Sony V1 perfect.

Bought this for my Sony ZV-1 ii and it doesn’t work. It creates a line on every photo and ruined all my photos. Only a portion of the photo was illuminated even after I tried adjusting the shutter speed. It needs to fire for longer to work, or sync better with the camera. Not sure if I received a defective item.

It’s a pretty good light, I do really like it. I just always forget to carry it with me and having to put it on and off for me PERSONALY is just a hassle, like I’d rather get a camera with a built in flash but still it’s a really good product and nothing is wrong with it, very bright and it fits perfect on my Sony ZV1

Setup took seconds, menu is straightforward, and it synced with my Sony A7RIII with zero fuss. Compact but plenty powerful for on-camera or bounce flash, and the recycle time is fast enough to keep up during casual shooting. Great little tool to throw in the bag when you don’t want to haul a full-size speedlight.

The size and design are appealing, and it mounts easily without adding much bulk to the camera. It is convenient to carry and works for very basic fill light in close range situations. That said, the output is quite weak and inconsistent, making it unreliable for anything beyond casual snapshots. Recycling time is slow, battery life is short, and the light quality is harsh compared to other compact flashes. Build quality feels budget oriented and not confidence inspiring for regular use. It can work in a pinch if you prioritize size over performance, but there are better options available if you need dependable lighting.

Works really well overall but not the best fit for my personal camera. It is not the most convenient to have to bring an extra flash around so I don’t end up using it often. Works as advertised though!

The delivery was 4-5 days ealier than expected date and the product itself was working well and love it.

I turned it on when i arrived but it doesnt perform. I charged it for 3 hrs, still the same it doesnt turn on, they gave me defective item.
