Frequently asked questions

It's so small. Is it actually powerful enough to be useful?

Yes. It's a GN8 flash, which is plenty for fill, portraits, and close-to-mid range work, the kind of shooting it's built for. This isn't a studio strobe pretending to be small. It's a real flash sized for the way you actually move: street, nightlife, travel, dinners. For those shots, it does everything you need and disappears into your pocket when you're done.

Won't a flash make my photos look harsh and washed out?

That's the cheap-flash look, and it comes from no control over power. This one gives you four power levels (1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8), so you can dial it down to a whisper of fill instead of a blast. The output is daylight-balanced at 6500K with a CRI of 96 or higher, which means skin tones stay natural and colours render true. Soft when you want soft. Punchy when you want punchy. Never that flat, blown-out flash-on-a-phone feeling.

Will it fit my camera?

It uses a universal hot-shoe mount, so it fits virtually any camera with a standard hot shoe: Sony, Fujifilm, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, and more. It's plug-and-play. Slide it on, switch it on, shoot. No adapters, no setup, no menu diving.

Can I use it for video, or is it flash only?

Both. It switches between flash and continuous light modes, so the same little unit handles stills and video. Use it as a flash for photos, then flip to continuous for clips, food shots, or steady ambient fill. It's made for hybrid creators who don't want to carry two kinds of light.

How long does the battery last, and how do I charge it?

The built-in 450 mAh battery gives you up to 800 flashes per charge, enough for most full days out. It charges over USB-C, so the same cable as your phone or laptop tops it up, and you can power it from a portable battery pack when you're far from an outlet. No proprietary chargers, no AA batteries to keep buying.

Is it fast enough to keep up with me?

Recycle times run as fast as 0.1 seconds at lower power, up to about 3 seconds at full blast. For the way most people shoot it, fill and candid moments, it's ready before you are. You're not standing around waiting for it to charge between frames.

Is it really that small, or does "compact" mean something else here?

Really that small. It weighs 52 g, about the size of an AirPods case, and measures 45 × 22 × 62 mm. It slips into a pocket or the corner of a camera bag and you forget it's there until you need it. That's the whole point: intentional light you'll actually carry, instead of a big flash that stays home.

I've never used an external flash. Is this complicated?

Not at all. Slide it onto your hot shoe, turn it on, pick a power level, shoot. There's no app, no menus to learn, no light meter math. If you can change one setting, you can use this. Start at a low power for fill, turn it up if you want more, that's the whole learning curve.

What if I don't like it?

You have 100 days to shoot with it. If it isn't for you, reach out and we'll sort it. Refund, swap, whatever makes it right. No interrogation, no restocking runaround.

Shooting with the Retropia lens

Film aesthetic, guaranteed.
