NissinDi700 A flash kit including wireless remote release for Sony

Highly recommended - also for professional use
I own a lot of flashguns - ranging from smaller manual flashguns which I've used as slaves and backups, to the flagship Sony HVL-F60m. I also own Metz mecablitz 58 AF-1 PRO and an old Sigma EF-500 DG ST.The Nissin Di700A is currently the only radio controlled flash system for the Sony multi interface shoe, which features TTL and full flash control from a command unit. My reason for buying it is for on-location portrait/model shoots, but the flash is VERY usable in many other applications.I've tested it for highspeed purposes, and the lowest flash duration at 1/20,000s is very impressive. The flash has 2 methods for cable trigger, which is a luxury considering that many premium flashes doesn't have a cable trigger plug built-in at all.The remote trigger part behaves VERY stable. I was uneasy at first, having read a review where the reviewer had some issues here - but my Di700A kit works perfectly with no fall-outs of any kind.The whole thing is very easy to use. The easiest I've ever tried, in fact. Because of the very low price tag, this is golden highly recommended in my humble opinion.The flash only has 2 shortcomings; the guide number 48 can have its limitations - and there's no stroboscobic feature. Both are perfectly acceptable, price and all considered.

I have used this at a couple of events now and its produced some really great results. No-one has complained about it being too bright or blinding them. Generally the flash is titlted to the wall behind or ceiling above.Recharges almost instantaneously. TTL works really well. The difference between trying to use a high iso or a flash was a non starter for me.Great flash

Initial impressions are good
Only used it on one shoot and all seemed straight forward. I haven't used the radio transmitter yet as I need understand hoe to set up and operate.

Good flash gun for the Sony A cameras.
Good flash guns for the Sony A series, I have two with commanders just incase any thing goes wrong on a job. Once set up and configured there easy to use. You need to have a play with them as the instructions aren't the best.

What an amazing piece of kit
What an amazing piece of kit! Cheap to purchase for my Sony A7ii, but still equal to the quality of Sony. Sony gear to do what this does will cost you nearly £1,000.00, and doesn't work as well. Sony should be ashamed!!!

This is a must for Sony cameras. I have a Sony flash too which I bought for my a77 but this radio control unit work perfect with my a600 and a99.

Simple and easy to use. Fantastic value.
Love it. Setup is easy and works straight out the box. Easy to use, considering purchasing a second one to use with the commander.
