LightPix Labs FlashQ Q20III Wireless Flash, 66.8 ft (20 m) GN 7 Stage Output, Compatible with Canon, Nikon, Sony and More Daylight 2 AA Batteries Transmitter Diffuser with Gel Pack

Been through a journey of discovery with flashes and found many recently that are just amazing. This unit is perhaps at the forefront in comparison to several very good alternatives. This unit has so many features. Its small and compact with Guide Number of 20 - Perfect for my indoor event photography where most subjects are in a 2-4m range. Power setting from 1/1 to 1/64 in 7 1 stop increments It features a small LED for Video lighting, but also functions as a modelling light, which is perfect when using a rangefinder in dark places and trying to find focus. Also helps autofocus find focus too. Has S1 & S2 modes if you want to locate this elsewhere and trigger from another flash. Better still it has a detachable top section which leave a mini transmitter on your camera and wirelessly triggered. This feature alone is perfect, and yes you can find other ways to do this but this I have found it by far the least clumsy and most successful. Single pin trigger on hotshoe, and also the flash main body has a 1/4-20 tripod threaded insert to mount if required, especially handy when as previously noted on the ability to detach the top section and trigger remotely. The flash can rotate vertically up by 90º, no horizontal rotation unless you are using it in one hand, detached from the camera and therefore can rotate it and point in any direction you want. takes 2 x AA batteries. I have rechargeable ones inserted and can use the USB C to charge them without needing to remove them. A seperate USB C charing socket is on the Transmitter unit, which lasts for ages without needing a recharge from what I have found so far. It's a brilliantly conceived flash, I hope it continues to deliver the results I am getting. I liked it so much I bought two of them.

Reviewed by a guy with a Ricoh GR III and a vendetta against boring light pumped up with caffeine IV, and with an itchy shutter finger Listen—this LightPix Labs FlashQ Q20III isn’t for the shy. It’s not for your landscape shooters quietly whispering to trees at f/11. No. This is for people who get close. Real close. Too close. Close enough to see the fear, the texture, the story in a face. I slap this thing on my GR like it owes me money. It’s light, it’s wireless, it’s got manual dials—no menus, no excuses. It’s like having a streetwise sidekick with a lightning bolt in his pocket. ISO 400, 1/250, and BAM—you’ve got a portrait of a guy who just realized you exist. The Q20III is pocketable. Not like “cargo pants” pocketable—actual jacket pocketable. Hot shoe it, or go wireless with the transmitter, blast it from an angle, off a wall, off the damn sky if you want. This thing is GN 40 at full power, which means it’ll light up your subject and their secrets. Color temp? Clean. Recycle time? Fast. Flash is consistent, unlike that guy who promised to come back with a cigarette in ’86. If you’re a Ricoh GR shooter and you don’t have this flash, I don’t know what you’re doing. Probably out there in the dark, wondering why your shots don’t pop. Get the Q20III. Get in close. And for god’s sake, stop asking for permission.

I haven’t really tried this product in depth since I got it last Sunday. I would say that works a very short range. I don’t have any pros or cons really because I’m the photographers and pick this tool because every flash does something that is helpful in certain situations so I think this flash is suitable for what I really need.

Lovely little flash that I've been using with my Yashica FX3 film camera, the video/modelling light is a nice touch and the wireless option works really well too so far. Doesn't attract too much attention due to its size also. 👍🏾👍🏾

This was a great flash but after only a few months the off camera capabilities died. I can’t work out if it’s the trigger or the receiver but even with the trigger fully charged and new new batteries in the flash it stopped working as it did. Something to bear in mind as the same thing happened with my friends which was identical. I only gave 2 stars as it was great for a while. I would also say that it really needs the option to add a diffuser as it’s extremely stark often blowing highlights.
