Here's a ranking of the top rated products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've also added some key information about the products.
1. Nikon SB-700 Speedlight
The operation is incredibly intuitive: a multitude of innovative functions make it particularly easy to control the quality and direction of the light. Its three illumination profiles enable optimum control over the flash illumination as well as wireless triggering of several flash units (wireless multi-flash control) via the ergonomically positioned A:B mode. The compact housing offers optimal conditions for creative shots or balanced images under difficult exposure conditions.
2. Godox V1 TTL Sony
The Godox V1-S is the first TTL flash from Godox with a round flash head and with HSS support to Canon. Now sync times of up to 1/8000s can be achieved. Now Godox does not have to shy away from the comparison with the Profot A1. The flash can be used in all known modes such as TTL, manual and stroboscope or multi. In addition, the V1C can also be triggered via Godox X1T-C or Godox X-pro transmitter, since a corresponding receiver is already built into the flash. The light shapers from the Godox AK-R1 set can be magnetically attached to the flash head. In addition to the HSS function, the V1-S also offers Flash Exposure Compensation, which is used to adjust the flash quantity. This allows you to control the flash independently of the actual exposure from the camera. The FEB function (Flash Exposure Bracketing) is used to make a flash exposure series. This allows you to quickly find the optimal flash exposure for a subject without having to make many settings. The V1C comes with an automatic zoom range of 28-105mm. With a power of 76Ws the flash is also able to flash against the sun. With the same transmitter you can also control the AD600B, so the Godox system is very easy to expand, without having to constantly buy new transmitters and receivers. The special thing about this flash is that it is not powered by AAA batteries, but by a Li-Ion battery. This battery allows up to 480 flashes per charge.
