## Description

Illuminate your subjects with this external flash. It extends the range of your Alpha SLT or NEX camera's included flash and offers bounce flash for shadow less indirect lighting.

Review: Superb fill flash - I bought this flash for my SONY cameras for outdoor fill light on sunny days. This one is more than that. Can be a ceiling bounce and night time flash. Unfortunately it does not turn and does not have many positions BUT it is tiny, turns on and off by moving it up from the horizontal position and when fired sits quite high above the lens. Recharge time is fast. Control is from the camera (+/-, sync). Expensive but the ease of use and the dedicated SONY operation may justify the price. I used it with an a6400 and an a7RIII body.
Review: An Incredible Tool - Picked this up to bring to a wedding I was packing light for in the hopes it would improve shots of my friends at the reception. The results totally surpassed my expectations. Even in a reception hall with a 30 foot ceiling, using the unit in bounce mode provided a great soft light and really enhanced subject separation from the background. It's no pro flash, but it's leaps and bounds better than any built in flash and it's still quite compact. I can see why some people don't like the fact that flipping it down is the only way to turn it off, but I found it super convenient when it was mounted on my camera. When I store it, I just take out the batteries so I can fold it flat. Quick recycling when paired with NiMH batteries.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Incredible Tool
*by M***K on October 19, 2017*

Picked this up to bring to a wedding I was packing light for in the hopes it would improve shots of my friends at the reception. The results totally surpassed my expectations.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not many options, but tiny and effective
*by S***. on September 18, 2016*

I came very close to buying one of the many third-party inexpensive flash units available for my Sony A6000, but then I noticed the size and weight. The other units are about 50% larger in all dimensions, and they weight nearly a pound as compared to the HVLF20M's quarter-pound. This unit is small enough and light enough to fit in just about any compact camera bag along with the camera, kit lens and telephoto zoom lens. My biggest gripe is that the shooting options are limited. There is a setting for bounce flash, but there is only one option for it - to aim the light straight up at the ceiling. There is no way to adjust the light output other than through the exposure settings of the camera. On other other hand, unlike with third party units, the HVLF20M does not obstruct the A6000's pop-up flash, allowing the two to be used together. This makes the available flash output similar to that of the much heavier, third party units, and the flash output can be adjusted by using the pop-up flash alone, the HVLF20M alone, or the two together. Further, one can get a very pleasing effect by using the HVLF20M in bounce mode and the pop-up flash in direct mode - a combination not available on most third party flash units. The only other complaint I have is the lack of a separate on-off switch. The flash is turned on by snapping it into the upright position on the camera and off by flipping it back down, but this puts the hot shoe at a right angle with respect to the flash unit, which makes it more difficult to fit in a camera bag. The only way to store it in a camera bag with the hot shoe extended is to remove the batteries. I ended up cutting a hole in the mesh pocket of the lid of my camera bag with the hope that the hole doesn't get bigger with wear. At least the bag was only $15 - I'm not sure I'd have been willing to cut up a $50 camera bag.
