Flashes Of Light On Security Camera

5 stars! Stable and very easy to adjust level with slider on.

Great for on camera use. It's small, light and much more powerful than the built in flashes.

I have been using two of the Light Stands to hold my camera flashes for several years. They are light weight, easy to transport and very sturdy. Because I have had such good performance from the two stands, I ordered one more to hold the third light I'm adding to my lighting.

For those of us who are sensitive to light flashes, isolating your camera's viewfinder makes a great difference. Get one for every camera you own.

Works as expected. Really nice to have a flood light with integrated security camera.

Love these magic arms for attaching cameras to light stands or off camera flashes in weird spots. The arm allows me to position the camera perfectly and it easily holds a DSLR, although I usually mount mirrorless cameras on them.

I am using two of these flashes with a Godox Xpro 2 transmitter, almost always off-camera mounted on light stands bare / in combination with a soft boxe through the Godox S2 bracket. I moved into the Godox system because getting the same flexibility and capability with OEM for my camera system is very expensive. I do own an OEM flash (way more expensive than the TT685CII) and given the flexibility of the Godox, I only use the OEM for on-camera/bounced flash indoors (or when I need a third light in which case I mount the OEM flash onto to the Godox system through the Godox X1 receiver). For everything else, I aways go to these Godox flashes. One more advantage : I also shoot micro-four thirds, and I only needed to get an X2 Pro transmitter for that system. And that enables the same flashes to be used across systems. It doesn't seem like these flashes are weather sealed though. I have also come to realize that there is only so much speedlites like these can be pushed when used in combination with big softboxes (e.g., 34). So I am now looking at the AD 200 Pro / similar as my next flash!

Without a form of diffuser, the light from off-camera flashes are just too harsh in almost all settings. I usually will bounce the light from white ceilings or walls if I can. When I can't, I use a dome diffuser. I don't ever have my flash without one unless I'm shooting through a softbox or into an umbrella. This is a must-have product. This unit fits securely onto the front of my Bolt VX-710 and produces excellent, soft light.

I have been photographing weddings for the last 25 years. This is one of best flash brackets made for camera mount flashes. very strong, light, easy to move the flash in horizontal and vertical mode.It is just a matter of getting use to it, once you get use to it, you will love it.Very compact. light and practical. Folds in and voila; you store it in your case after the job is done.This bracket is a must for pros using camera mounted flashes. It makes your job so much fun....Love it, Love it. and B&H is absolutely my favorite place to buy my stuff from.

I don't have a ton of experience using flashes so the Bolt 420 was fun to experiment with. First off, it comes with a nice bag to keep it in and a light stand mount. It feels sturdy and has held up to some accidental punishment, my dog knocked it over on a light stand the other day and it hit my hardwood floor and still works fine. It was super easy to set up on with it on top of my camera and using the transmitter, I definitely like being able to move the light around a lot better than keeping it on camera. It has nice clear lights to tell you how much power is coming out and different channels to use so you aren't getting any interference. It even has a little bounce card built in which I haven't messed with yet but seems like a nice added bonus. Overall I'm happy with the light output and the flexibility that the light provides and can't wait to explore it more. (I received this item in exchange for my honest review)
