Why Sony Flash is worth the extra money.

[@thetruthseeker23]

Great video. I recently got the f46rm. Loving the colours I’m getting from it.

[@kaskoPhoto]

The colors are one of the best of any flash available

[@anthonysamra7777]

Excellent information. Thank you!

[@lighthousephoto7143]

I would pay extra to use Sony flashes if they had built-in triggers in the cameras. Maybe some day.

[@kaskoPhoto]

I would be so onboard with that.

[@RandumbTech]

And when they advertise them, they make it sound like they are wireless without remote trigger. A bit misleading.

[@hillsmediahouse]

great insight, love the results with just the one flash.

[@Iskhakoff]

ttl that profoto gives is perfect too

[@kaskoPhoto]

I have amazing results with Profoto and the Profoto Connect Pro for Leica - but for Sony the color and TTL can’t be beat with their latest flashes.

[@maykelmatias]

Thank you for the video John. As I’m looking for a flash for my Sony a7RV and after seeing your video, I’m convinced. Thank you

[@kaskoPhoto]

I think you will be really happy with any of the newer models. They not only have respectable TTL but the color for skin tones really is a step above third party options. (Just don’t go overboard on buying rechargeable AAs like I do. 2 sets will cover you).

[@kenn6592]

Thanks for advice. About to finally buy a flash for my R7V and really was confused, as not used a flash for many, many years. Now 46 or 60?

[@kaskoPhoto]

Well the 46 is lighter and smaller and the 60 has power and unique benefits. But the 46 can handle most on camera flash jobs and handheld flash work.

[@ShengYue]

Recently purchased a Sony F60rm2 to match A9iii and the combination is just amazing! definitely better than my A10s

[@ShengYue]

and it's so efficient that can manage to continuely flash at very high shutter speed

[@backyardjunkie]

Hi John, loved this, been needing to get a decent flash, have the A7C and A7 iii, this has helped my decision. Thank you.

[@kaskoPhoto]

Well I love the little 28 but if you need just a little more - the 46 is great. (Look for used to save a few $$)

[@noemikrkoskova8732]

Thank you for your reviews on the Sony flashes especially for the Sony HVL-F28RM in another video. Your reviews and example shots helped make my decision easier. I've been looking for an on-camera external flash for my A7C to use as an on the go outdoor fill flash when I am traveling. Most reviews overwhelming recommend Godox tt350s (I would love to see a side by side comparison with the Sony F28RM).

[@kenschallenbergphotography7139]

Great content...thanks for sharing sir.

[@banditalley9592]

My Godox flash just packed up (error E1). I am starting to wish I had paid more for something more durable

[@kaskoPhoto]

I do like the Godox line but when they need repair… it’s really hard to find support.

[@jbello9398]

Is that flash user friendly? I have a goddox V860 and I find it too complicated

[@leftify]

Great flash, what I dont understand is why did they take the led modeling light off of this version of the flash?

[@kaskoPhoto]

For me personally- I just never used it. I know some do but it is such a rare occasion

[@samakin9804]

Great content. Curious, what kind of background are you using @3:37

[@kaskoPhoto]

That is the Westcott X-drop pro

[@DAVE211147]

Hi John, I use the Godox flash trigger and lights and agree that the TTL is not great, but I am happy using Manual

[@robertbeaudry1685]

Super de bonne idée, et très belles photos avec un beau modèle . Bonne journée et à plus !

[@kaskoPhoto]

Thank you so much. Appreciate you.

[@gianpaolopupillo5993]

sorry but i didn't understand what is the remote you're using. What's the name of the model?

[@kaskoPhoto]

Sony FA-WRC1M Wireless Radio Commander

[@leonardcederholm3180]

John - does the radio commander you using allow you to change the group/channel/flash power from it.? Or do I still have to walk over to my SONY HVL60 and HVL45 to set the power levels and so forth? @@kaskoPhoto

[@jimmyhinAK]

I guess if I was doing professional work, then I’d be more worried about it I get what I can afford

[@Ozhtube]

Do you use a diffuser with this flash? Any diffuser options that can fit on it?

[@kaskoPhoto]

Not usually. I use a bounce card when I need it. Just a white index card with a rubber-band to hold it on.

[@gregoirechavaz2766]

Hi John, I just baught my first sony 7iV camera, I used to work with Nikon Can I use my Nikon Flash SB 900 in TTL and remote ?

[@kaskoPhoto]

On the Sony? No

[@alonsogarrote8898]

Interesting video sir, what about using this 46 flash or 60rm2 with sony alpha 6700?, I like shooting at runway shows

[@kaskoPhoto]

I think the 46 would work - but the 60 can be dialed back and give you a little better battery life. (Not that it’s an issue

[@michaeljemery]

The first thing I want to know about any flash is the power supply. I thought it was very strange (suspicious) that Sony never mentioned power anywhere on the product webpage. I watched this video and sure enough - "double A's". I don't know the technical reaosns why Sony chose double A, but I know they are being deceiptful by hiding it. And that's why I'm not buying this product. That's a shame, because you did a great job of selling me on the benefits.

[@kaskoPhoto]

I do get it - I love the power packs. But I like the consistency and reliability (when I’m shooting sony) so that’s why I choose their flashes. For everything else I like the Profoto A1s A10s (hate the price)

[@Jambo1999]

You just got done saying don't use auto iso!

[@kaskoPhoto]

I won’t use auto iso on a job but to do these videos I want to try every scenario possible? I want to show what equipment limitations are (or strengths)

[@vincegutierrez3780]

Sony doesn't have a built in wireless trigger?

[@kaskoPhoto]

😂😂

[@RubyisCute]

Should I get a gn46 for my Sony rx10iv?

[@kaskoPhoto]

I love that flash personally. It’s the right size and weight and has enough power for 99% of the situations I need a flash for.

[@smooth111012]

Hi, I have recently got this flash, used it yesterday on an interior shoot . I did find that on some shots it never fired. I had to turn it off then on again, does it have to recharge etc for a few seconds

[@kaskoPhoto]

It does have a slightly slower recharge and can misfire if not allowed to recharge.

[@smooth111012]

@@kaskoPhoto is there a light on the flash that alerts us that it’s charged etc? I see at times TEST glows

[@albedo0point39]

This is why I use Profoto.

[@backyardjunkie]

Forgot to ask, what trigger do you use in combination with the GN46. Thanks John.

[@kaskoPhoto]

It’s Sonys trigger - they only have the one I believe.

[@justinmcq78]

Hey John, I want to ask your thoughts on lighting for a sec. I currently have the xplor300 pro, an ad100 pro and a V1. I’m trying to decide on either a second ad100 pro or another xplor 300 pro. Any thoughts on this?

[@kaskoPhoto]

As much as i love power, it depends on what and how you shoot. If you are a studio shooter and like the 5.6 range and above, i’d go with the 300. But if you like shooting below 5.6 all you need is another 100

[@martagalanoficial]

Is the original Sony trigger (over 300$) the only option? I am looking for an alternative but dont know where to start from 😢

[@kaskoPhoto]

If you are using Sony branded flashes, yes, that is your only option. But you can definitely find one on the used market much cheaper

[@krishnastock]

You can use Sony's HVL-F28RM (

[@marclabro]

sony removed the modeling light/led video light from RM2 :-(

[@kaskoPhoto]

Yes and not saying that no one made use of it but I’ve never used a video light on any speedlight (hate blinding my subjects)

[@gewglesux]

Same here.... it only makes sense.

[@movieman2009]

What do you think of the Profoto flash for Sony , A10 I think it is?

[@kaskoPhoto]

It’s usually pretty good. I think color is a little better with the Sony.

[@nsnoesuarez]

but the price is just too expensive for me..

[@philipsutton8921]

John - when would you use your Sony on a job, as opposed to the Leica 11, or even the Blad? I mean. if you go to a fast moving event (dancing etc), would you take the Sony for the AFC? How do the files of the Sony stack up against the Leica FF?

[@kaskoPhoto]

It is on a client by client bases for commercial work. The jobs coming up, I’m required to provide many images of each subject in a moderately moving situation (sorry to be so vague) So this is when the Sony will be used. The client wants straight documentation vs artistic images. The Sony makes that job easy.

[@masculine1967]

i want to buy sony flash but hate the AA batteries… wish sony goes godox way with the batteries

[@kaskoPhoto]

I love the power packs myself, no question about it. But when it’s a Sony camera I will live with two sets of AA rechargeable for those results. Still want the power packs though 😂
