In times where you need a little extra lighting for your scene, enjoy the simplicity of the manual-exposureGodox iM30 Mini Flash. This compact and ultra-portable flash is the perfect option to bring along with you anywhere and can even fit inside your pocket. It weighs approximately 2.8 oz and measures about 2.4 x 2.1 x 1.7”. It offers power selection from 1/64 to full power, providing plenty of illumination and giving ample control to meet your needs whether you’re capturing snapshots or street scenes. The iM30 primarily functions as an on-camera flash via its hot shoe mount but can also be utilized as a secondary flash that will fire synchronously when a main flash fires.
Featuring a dial for flash strength adjustment, these seven adjustable steps are available: 1/64, 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and Full. After taking in account your camera’s aperture, ISO, and shooting distance, simply turn the dial to your desired flash strength and fire away.
Unlike traditional flashes, you won’t be burdened with extensive settings and modes to learn. This streamlined design includes just two buttons, for powering on and for using the optical S1 and S2 modes. To power on the iM30, press and hold the power button until it turns green and flashes. After, the light remains a constant green and will allow you to push the power button to fire a test flash. To power down, simply press and hold the same button again.
The iM30 operates off two AAA batteries. To insert, easily pop open the battery cover, slide each battery into its appropriate slot, and close the battery cover. Batteries aren’t included, so you’ll have to supply your own. While rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are increasingly popular with modern flashes, AAA batteries are at least very easy to find and stock up on. And help maintain the flash’s lightweight build.
