Flash Q X20 REVIEW for Fuji X100V. THIS COULD BE A BIG DEAL!

[@BoorayPerry]

I'm thinking about my next video and can't decide if i want to do a compare/contrast with the Godox TT350 or if I want to do an inside/outside use on this flash. What do you think?

[@bhetlouge]

It works outside. See Flash Q20 + Ricoh GR by EduardoPavezGoye

[@BoorayPerry]

@@bhetlouge I know that it works outside what I mean is to make a video on the best way to use it inside and outside 😃

[@BobFitz64]

I have the original Flash Q and the Godox. Having a compact TTL flash looks really interesting. I'm looking forward to the comparison with this and the Godox.

[@pouchboy1]

Great, clear pro/con video. Also loved your bounce flash tutorial video.

[@BoorayPerry]

Thanks!

[@pollypowell3907]

Hey Booray…you always rock our world. Solid video. Thank You!

[@BoorayPerry]

Thanks!! :)

[@JoeLopez]

nice! TTL is nice but my Q20II was quirky to sync. I ended up selling it for a TT350F and trigger. I look forward to seeing your comparison

[@Geordie-rr2gq]

Found the same and others did too - the new version has a Fuji specific version though.

[@scoopzuk]

It looks like there is a newew model, the M20. I'd be interested to get your thoughts on that.

[@Miguel-tx2ws]

Surprised I didn’t see reviews regarding this flash(this new version for Fujifilm)! You’re right. It’s a game changer! Thanks for making the video!

[@paulchance9780]

I still hope godox just adds a small cube with ttl for their system

[@JoeLopez]

That would be perfect!

[@mwales2112]

Going to pick one of the q20ii for my Leica m and Ricoh GR3 whenever B&H has them in stock.. Thanks Booray

[@dingdingdingdiiiiing]

The biggest selling point is that it's detachable. But I can't get TTL to work on GRIII...

[@jazzfan7491]

Very cool. I have the Godox and the controller is huge. ETA: My knowledge of this stuff is a few years out of date. Looks like Godox has recognized the competition and is selling a much smaller controller as of summer 2024. The new Godox doesn't completely match this unit because it's not integrated into the flash itself in the same way, but I suspect the company, Godox that is, is thinking there are a lot of people out there with a 350 who are tempted by this smaller flash but will stay in the Godox arena if they can buy a smaller controller, since the 350 still has certain advantages, as you note well here. Godox is right because I'm one of them. 😉

[@kbstabs5982]

Enjoyed this video, Booray. Thanks. Tell me, does the X100V flash also fire or can you turn it off so that only the QX20 fires?

[@BoorayPerry]

You can turn it off. 🙂

[@milohess8715]

Nice review. Wish you did a demo using the flash outdoors for fill ... as I think most would use it with the x100v

[@BoorayPerry]

That's coming next. :)

[@fenrisler]

Thanks for the review. Can I please ask where are all the controls on the transmitter? Do you set everything up on the flash „slave“ itself? And maybe a stupid question, but still can you connect two or more flashes to the transmitter? Thanks!!

[@BoorayPerry]

There are two small buttons on teh trans for adjusting power value but that's it. Yes, you can connect multiple flashes but I don't think you can control their power from the trans.

[@WhoIsSerafin]

Oh my, I just ordered a x100v, I think I may get one

[@moshesalama]

Hello Booray, I like your videos and like many of the same devices and gadgets you like and recommend, so following your video I purchased the new FLASH-Q M20, metal body w/extra case and accessories. After two months it arrived but shortly after one light use and test, the unit’s LCD panel went dark and stopped working. The manufacturer asked me to send it back for a replacement, which I did, but after they received it, they ignored my messages and literally disappeared. Did you experience any customer complaints with this company? Thanks

[@BoorayPerry]

I'm so sorry to hear that. I didn't experience any problems with them but I also didn't try to send anything back.

[@kbqvist]

Yes, it is cute! Wish that godox would make a trigger of that size for their system!

[@BoorayPerry]

Yes. I don't need all the bells and whistles and controls for multiple flashes I just want a small form factor for my small camera. 😁

[@a.akande]

Thinking of getting these, would you recommend the version X20 or x20ii?

[@BoorayPerry]

I can't find an X20II... Do you mean the Q20? If so, I want the one with the transmitter.

[@a.akande]

@@BoorayPerry ha sorry typo, meant x20ii

[@BoorayPerry]

I can't find that flash

[@pierredumas7331]

Hi Booray ! On the X100 you must compare the X20 GN of 20 at 32mm with the TT350 GN at 35mm. Its GN of 36 is at 105mm which is totally useless with the X100. Besides a GN of 20 is plenty enough for fill-flash with the leaf shutter

[@BoorayPerry]

Oh, I'm going to get all into this 😁

[@sammakammanta4966]

Nice. Do you know if I can use the Fuji version of the X20 with other camera brands? Of course only in manual mode.

[@BoorayPerry]

I have no idea. :)

[@sammakammanta4966]

@@BoorayPerry ok. Thank you.

[@R35c470r]

Is the FlashQ X20 fully compatible with Sony a6700?

[@BoorayPerry]

I have no idea. I don't use Sony

[@JaKrish]

My brain is hurting from looking up flashes. Will this work with my Ricoh GRiii?

[@BoorayPerry]

I don't think they make one for Ricoh

[@chenxu9532]

Great review！！！Thank you!

[@ObservingBeauty]

Appreciate your sharing

[@herwarthaug]

LIghtPix Labs confuses me. I got an Fujifilm X-T3. Which flash should I choose? The Q X20 or the Q 20II?

[@BoorayPerry]

You should watch this first :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZqkhadtpZiph6M

[@ScottAlanPhotography7]

Is this TTL even off camera?

[@BoorayPerry]

It's supposed to be

[@ricknicholson5894]

Let's get real here. First I have been and still am a fan of smaller flashes, first as a convenience - less bulk, weight and portability. Secondly I think smaller flashes are a good entry way into using larger flashes. Larger flashes such as the Godox 860 series and Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, Pentax top of the line flashes along with top of the line third party flashes become less intimidating to learn if one starts out with a smaller flash and learns how to use it well. The principals are the same for smaller and larger flashes, but the user interface is dumbed down on the smaller flashes. I first began my foray into small flashes with the Metz 24, I'm willing to bet you can guess the guide number on this flash. It was restricted in terms of moving the head around and all the adjustments were in camera. But I learned a lot by using that flash, especially using exposure compensation along with flash compensation to control the ambient background with the subject in front of me. Off camera usage was non-existent. I also used the ef-x8 Fuji flash, even more restricted in use and lower guide number than the Metz 24 but when ef-x8 is shot using flash compensation dialed down a bit - 1/3 to 2/3 of a stop, images came out not to bad. For a diffuser with the Metz 24 and ef-x8, I have used white paper towel over the head rubber banded on, I've used white napkins in restaurants, anything that will break up the light to reduce hard shadows. I recently got the Godox TT350f for my two Fuji cameras - X 100f and X T1 - and I love this little flash. Yes its larger than the Flash Q X20 but again lets be real, its much more functional in terms of power and support. And I think its a better entry into flash menu interface so that larger flashes are more easily understood. And there are so many used X1T's out there (newbies if you get this transmitter, watch a video on how to use it, much easier than any other way) that combining the transmitter with the Godox flash, you have a winning combo. I'm not anti Flash Q X20, I just feel the Godox flash is so much more. And you can bounce the Godox over your right shoulder (I watched your flash video) and it will have enough power.

[@BoorayPerry]

The power issue is ultimately going to be the deciding factor I'm sure. I'm interested to test this flash outside and see if it has enough power to work in a bright sunlight situation because the ability to move it off camera outside is something you can't do with the godox unless you also use the transmitter which doubles the size and weight of what you carry.

[@charlesstephens5974]

Godoy x3 and x350 will make this redundant

[@webdesign6776]

Q have been making these and separate Q flash cubes that can do the same for other units for years, you just discovering them now??

[@BoorayPerry]

With ttl off camera?

[@JoeLopez]

This one has TTL

[@webdesign6776]

@@BoorayPerry I always prefer manual flash over ttl when you dial it in yourself you don't end up fixing a hundred images in post, all you have to do is keep your arm the same distance for each person you shoot.

[@BoorayPerry]

@@webdesign6776 I've known about the brand but to my knowledge this is the first Fuji TTL flash with a built in transmitter.

[@bertagriese8282]

You keep saying “if you know me then…” - well, I don’t know you and I don’t care to know you. I watch the video for the technical information, not for you. I honestly couldn’t care less what kind of guy you are…

[@BoorayPerry]

It's unfortunate that my channel doesn't meet your expectations. The good news is that there are 720,000 hours of video uploaded to KZbin each day so I'm sure that there is someone out there doing exactly what you want. Good luck, 👍📷
