ULANZI
Andres Felipe Castaneda Ramirez
Excelente flash para uso nocturno, con luz de día no sirve mucho. Es extremadamente pequeño, por lo que es facil de transportar en cualquier bolsillo. No esperen una potencia increíble, es muy justo, más como para uso personal que profesional. Sin embargo, cumple con lo que promete. Yo lo uso en mi zve10 y va perfecto, compatible con la jaula smallrig.

Very small and weak. Gives almost no light. I have no idea what it can be used for

Love this little compacted flash/light! Tiny but powerful! I bought this for my Sony zv1-m2

This fill light has an angle-adjustable flash that can rotate 90 degrees to point anywhere from directly at the ceiling to directly at a subject.
It can operate in three primary modes, fill, flash, or fill and flash. There are four different flash power levels, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and full power. In 1/8th power mode, you can sustain continuous flashes. In full power mode, the recharge time between flashes is about 2.5 seconds. The function overloading of the buttons is not immediately apparent out of the box but explained well in the very tiny instructions. I had to take a photo of the instructions so I could zoom in and read them.
If you leave the fill light on, the battery lasts 38 minutes in my testing. It is quite bright, bright enough that it is somewhat painful to look at directly. The fill light's brightness appears to be fixed, it is not dimmable. If you leave the fill light on continuously, it gets quite warm to the touch but not hot. The fill light lasted much, much longer than anticipated, given it's diminutive size.
The listing says that 1 AAA battery is required which is inaccurate, in the sense that it appears to be an internal rechargeable battery that you cannot access. The battery can be recharged with a standard USB-C cable.
The hot shoe triggers the flash correctly from a Sony a6500.

The cutest little Ulanzi micro flash that fits on a hot shoe. I was excited about it the moment I saw it. But in my opinion, the images do not do it justice. It is very tiny in real life. It really takes up no space at all. It almost looks like a toy in my big hands. In my opinion, it’s not the brightest of flashes, but in a pinch I think it will really come in handy if you plan your photos right. It’s fit on every hot shoe port I’ve tried it on. The battery is decent. I think it holds enough power for a quick shoot here and there. I think it recharges pretty quickly too. I have used other small form factor flashes like this before that have numerous options for flash speed, brightness and such. This particular flash does not have as many options as others I’ve used, but having four levels of brightness is definitely usable. I believe this is a good flash that can be used for a compact photography kit, for any gigs you want to carry a light pack. I don’t think it replaces other lighting, but it’s very powerful for certain situations. I’m pleased with this flash and I found it to be very reliable. I think it would make a perfect stocking stuffer for a photographer or photography enthusiast. A strong five out of five stars.

This flash is seriously awesome. It's super easy to use right out of the box, but the great flash quality and functionality are totally pro-level.
For such a tiny (33g!) unit, the power is incredible (GN8!) and the long battery life means less charging and more shooting. Speaking of charging, the USB-C fast-charge lets you shoot while it charges, so you basically never have to stop.
If you want a huge lighting upgrade without the bulk, this is it.

This was delivered in an excellent retail-style box, well-packaged and undamaged, the day after ordering. It is an extremely small and yet surprisingly versatile mini-flash unit. As such, it’s not going to be bright enough for larger scenes or subjects further away than a few feet. The guide number is only 8, after all. That said, it’s got several features that make it extremely versatile. What I especially like is that it’s got a continuous light panel for videos – again, not suitable for more distant subjects but satisfactory for closer ones and macro – and the flash will fire while the continuous light is on. This is a wonderful aid to composition and reducing the dreaded red-eye. It's also extremely convenient not to have to carry batteries for this since it is USB-C rechargeable. Finally, I don’t think I have seen a flash unit this small, light and portable that tilts. It charges fast and recycles fast. And the build quality is comparable to most flashes and speedlites. The Ulanzi brand is recognizable and I have seen other products of theirs that seem well-designed and useful. At $22.95 as of this writing this device is also a very good value for its functionality and portability.

It's kind of a cool little gadget, I think the flash is perfect if you're just shooting casual things (maybe not professional shoots). I'm using this with a ZV-E1, so just know that it does work with this camera!
The only issue is the flash only works with one shutter speed. There are no options to change shutter speed on the back of the flash so I guess I'm just out of luck?
It actually would have been an extremely useful product if this one issue wasn't a thing.

I tested this tiny flashlight on my A7C2 camera, And it works perfectly. Just pressing the round power button, and then the flashlight will be turned on. You can adjust the level of flashlight. There are four levels included. Charging is very simple and easy, just use the included or your own UBC cable towards the right. The hot shoe fit the camera tightly so it's very stable. And the photo quality through the flash are also great! I'm just astonished by this tiny size flashlight. I definitely recommend.

This flash looks like a kid’s toy but don’t let that fool you. It’s an amazing device with its combination of ultra portability and versatility boasting both a conventional flash and an always on fill light/video light. I’m amazed that this flash fits in my coat pocket. To me that’s the reason to own this flash.
It’s perfect for vloggers or traveling where a full-sized, full power flash for video light is awkward to carry around and overkill. It has enough reach for subjects up to 6 or so feet away. I plan on using it for macro photography.
Operation is intuitive and fast. It has direct push buttons for each flash level from full power to 1/8 which eliminates the need for annoying cycling through until you get the one you need. There’s also a button to activate the video light. The video light brightness is not adjustable.
The flash head can also be tilted 45 degrees which is a nice feature in a budget flash. Recycling time is about 3 seconds after a full power flash. It’s powered by an internal USB-C rechargeable battery. No adapter in included. Also not included is a case or storage pouch, which is the most disappointing thing about this flash.
