Sony HVL-F28RMA External Flash

I've been using this flash for indoor events and the guide number of 28 gives me plenty of reach without being bulky. The bounce head tilts smoothly, which helps soften shadows on ceilings. It's made a noticeable difference in my low-light portraits.

Tiny enough to toss in a jacket pocket, yet it throws light around the room without breaking a sweat for casual indoor shoots. The tilting head is quick to adjust, and it locks into place with a satisfying click. Exactly the kind of fill light I needed for portraits without hauling a bigger unit.

I was shooting indoors at a friend's party and this flash gave me just the right amount of fill light without washing everything out. The tilt head made it easy to bounce off the ceiling for softer shadows. It’s compact enough to slip into my bag alongside my camera.
