Neewer Z2-S TTL Round Head Flash Speedlite for Sony

Neewer Z2-S TTL Round Head Flash Speedlite for Sony Overview Neewer improves their popular shoe-mounted Z2 flash with the Z2PRO-S TTL Round Head Flash Speedlite for Sony. The Z2PRO-S arrives with the same 76Ws output and fast recycle time of 1.5 sec of its predecessor. One of the highlights of the PRO version is efficient cooling, ensuring up to 100 continuous flashes without overheating. The flash also has a higher number of 600 full-power flashes. Finally, the flash’s upgraded quartz tube supports up to 100,000 lifetime flashes. Another important fact is a dual 2.4 GHz wireless system that makes it compatible with both the Neewer Q, as well as the Godox X system. The Z2PRO-S provides not only one, but two built-in LED modeling lights and TCM conversion to quickly switch from TTL to manual flash mode. The PRO version is still an easy-to-use flash, but here you get better performance and enhanced features to light up your photoshoots. Uniform Light Quality Compatible with select cameras with Sony ADI / P-TTL automatic functionality, the Z2PRO-S features a round head that provides a soft, smooth light with gradual falloff that easily illuminates your scene. The Z2PRO-S has a zoom range from 28 to 105mm along with the ability to rotate 330° and tilt -7 to 120°. Multiple Flash Modes The Z2PRO-S packs multiple modes of operation, including manual mode for customizing your exposure. Users will also appreciate a variety of automated flash settings, such as stroboscopic flash, 1st and 2nd curtain sync, as well as the ability to use 1/8000 sec high-speed sync. Fast Recycling & Battery Power With recycle times of up to 1.5 sec, the unit is powered by an upgraded 3000mAh rechargeable battery that ensures long-lasting shoots. The Z2PRO-S will give you up to 600 full-power flashes with a flash duration between 1/180 and 1/20,000 sec for freezing fast action. The included battery has a USB-C port for external charging in 2.5 hours using an optional 5V, 2A USB charger. Dual LED Modeling Lamps Two 2W LED modeling lamps can be individually controlled by 10 adjustable brightness levels. These integrated 3300K lamps are continuous light sources that are useful to see how the flash’s light will fall on your subject, which improves your composition. Expanded 2.4 GHz Wireless System The Z2PRO-S’s upgraded 2.4 GHz wireless system enables four groups, 32 channels, and 99 IDs with the separately available QPRO-S TTL transmitters. It can be used to control other flashes with a transmission range of up to 328′ with no obstacles. These 32 channels and four groups avoid interference with other shooters to fire each flash separately for complex setups. The Z2PRO-S is also compatible with the Godox 2.4 GHz X wireless system and the separately available XPro, X2, and X3 transmitters. It also works with an optional Sekonic L-858D light meter (RT-GX module). It is important to note that the Neewer Q and Godox X systems cannot be used simultaneously, and the latest firmware is required for compatibility.
