Small and lovely mini flashing lights, which can be triggered wirelessly at 2.4GHz, and FlashQ Q20 can be used.

I received a letter from the Hong Kong brand LightPix Lab, which once launched a small flash on a crowdfunding platform and asked them if they were interested in trying out their products. After reading the content, I found it quite interesting. It is a small single trigger flash with 2.4GHz wireless trigger function, so I decided to apply for a sample trial, which is the FlashQ Q20 flash introduced by LightPix Lab.

For many photographers, although all cameras are reliable and have high ISO to make up for the difficulty of taking pictures in the dark in the past, in many cases, it is still necessary to fill the light to take ideal photos. With the large-scale launch of flash lamps supporting various synchronization functions by China brands, consumers no longer need to spend a lot of money to buy higher flash lamps as in the past, but for some users, they don't need so much effort, but want to use them conveniently.

FlashQ Q20 can be said to be a product that echoes users with basic flash skills and hopes to have a flash that is easy to carry and flexible to use. Its size is quite small, about the same as a box of playing cards. It is a typical small output flash size, but it is more flexible than ordinary small flash.

This is a direct hit.

This is a light jump shot.

FlashQ Q20 is a small flash of GN20, which can be driven by only two No.3 batteries. At the same time, it also has the function of positive LED fill light, which can be used as both flash and video fill light. The base is a typical universal single-point trigger, which can be used for hot shoe seats in various families.

The flash of Q20 has the basic function of 90-degree upward light jumping, which can simply jump the light. At the back, there is a manual control button, the upper row is flash output, and the lower row is fill light intensity. In addition, Q20 can be used as the flash triggered by S 1 and S2 light in the lower right corner, but it is really not the focus of Q20 so far.

There is a button below Q20, which can be pressed to exit the trigger module below Q20; Yes, Q20 itself is a flash, which can structurally accommodate a 2.4GHz trigger module, so there is no need to carry an extra module. At the same time, after removing the trigger module, there is still a standard tripod thread lock point at the bottom, which can lock the Q20 flash lamp on the tripod. Even if Q20 can't swing its head, it doesn't matter if it can only tilt 90 degrees upwards. You can lock the tripod.

In addition, there is a gap under the flash diffuser of Q20. Don't think this is a mold opening tolerance, which is also an interesting part of Q20. Different color temperature tablets are provided in the package, so you can shoot different effects by inserting the color temperature tablets below. Of course, if you have special needs, you can also cut acrylic plates with special colors for use.

The trigger module of Q20 is driven by mercury battery, but there is no need to worry about the trigger with the flash body, because in the case of combining the two, the trigger is triggered directly through the metal contact of the fastener, not through the wireless system; In addition, the wireless system is designed with a switch. To remove the trigger, you need to press and hold the left button for three seconds, until the LED below stops flashing.

After matching according to the instructions, the author thinks that the most convenient place for Q20 is to output the remote control function. After all, some single-point wireless flashing lights should be set in the flashing lights. However, there is a button on the trigger of Q20, which can directly change the output of the flashing light by remote control. However, because the trigger cannot display the current output value of the flashing light, it is still necessary to confirm from the LED behind the flashing light. There is also Flash Q, and long press the right button of the trigger can also be tested.

In addition, FlashQ can be triggered with eight groups of receivers at most, which has the anti-interference function of automatic channel selection; In addition to the flash, FlashQ also has a hot shoe receiver. At the same time, in order to correspond to the special flash, the microUSB next to the trigger and receiver can be matched with optional conversion lines, which can be used as the synchronous trigger of the flash and the shed lamp with synchronous contacts.

FlahQ Q20 is not the best choice for photographers who don't care about size but only need high power. However, if you use a compact camera and don't care about TTL synchronization, but you want the flash to be small and portable and need to be used off the machine, then the convenient, functional and compact flash Q20 will be a pocket lamp worth trying.

Please go to the bad friend platform if you are interested. At present, the pre-order project is in operation: FlashQ Q20 mini flash, which is portable and fully functional.
