Sony HVL-F60M 

Buy: Used Sony HVL-F60M Wireless Shoe Mount Flash with built-in LED light, GN# 60m at 105mm position V MFR: HVL-F60M.

The Sony HVL-F60M is a superior lighting solution for working photographers and videographers alike. Special attention was paid to its subtle design and faster operation that now includes the Quick Navi interface found in Sony Alpha camera bodies so flash and lighting settings can be quickly and easily adjusted and optimized. The patented Quick Shift Bounce design found in this unit makes shifting between horizontal and vertical shooting a snap without compromising on light output. With the new built-in LED video light, the HVL-F60M can also be utilized under various movies shooting situations. Dust and moisture resistant design as well as ample flash attachments make this the perfect accessory in the camera bag.   High-illumination output   Delivers high-illumination output in a compact, lightweight body, with an effective range of more than 90 feet (28m) and guide number 60. (Guide number measures the illumination capability of the flash; the higher the number, the higher the light output. Tested at ISO100, 105mm).  New LED video light   With the new built-in LED video light it has never been easier to switch between stills and movie shooting even in low-light conditions. LED enables checking and setting the light and shadow conditions before shooting still image or movie with live view function of EVF equipped camera. Maximum luminance of 1200 lux/(0.5m), with illuminating distance of approximately 6-1/2 feet (2m) at ISO3200/ F5.6.   Quick Shift Bounce   Sony's patented "Quick Shift Bounce" system allows the HVL-F60M to quickly orbit 90 degrees left and right, allowing you to maintain horizontal light distribution even when shooting vertically. In addition to pivoting side-to-side, the flash unit can also tilt down10 degrees or back 150 degrees, ensuring customers the lighting freedom they need to capture that perfect shot.   Quick Navi and Large Dot Matrix LCD   Quick Navi control is the intuitive User Interface from Sony Alpha camera bodies that make it a snap to locate and change settings. A large dot matrix LCD display is easy-to see and intuitive button layout makes it easy to configure the HVL-F60M for a variety of shooting needs.   Wireless Ratio Control   Wireless Ratio Control allows customers to wirelessly control up to three groups of flashes, as well as specify the luminosity ratio for each group, so they can enjoy multiple-flash lighting techniques without the need for special equipment or tedious exposure settings.   Auto White Balance compensation   Auto White Balance compensation allows for more accurate white balance in flash photography sending color temperature information from the HVL-F60M to the camera, where it is incorporated into the camera's white balance settings.   Modeling light capability   allows the HVL-F60M to pulse, helping photographers determine where shadows will fall before taking the picture, so they can alter lighting or subject positioning as necessary.   Stroboscopic lighting control   Stroboscopic lighting control lets the HVL-F60M fire multiple times during a single exposure, allowing customers to capture stroboscopic images where moving subjects are frozen several times in the frame.   Advanced Distance Integration (ADI)   ADI (Advanced Distance Integration) metering enables the HVL-F60M to work more effectively with lenses equipped with distance encoders -- combining TTL (through-the-lens) flash metering with guide number control are calculated automatically according to the distance to the subject, the ambient light and the pre-flash reflectivity of the subject.   High-Speed Synchronization   Other flashes only work well at shutter speeds synchronized from the camera (example: from 1/125 to 1/250 of a second). The Sony HVL-F60M Flash Unit provides a High Speed Synchronization mode (HSS) that enables the flash to sync with shutter speeds from 1/500 to 1/4000 of a second to catch fast-moving subjects.   Automatic focal-length adjustments   The HVL-F60M automatically adjusts flash for focal-length settings from 24mm to 105mm, and a built-in, slide-out wide-angle panel increases wide-angle coverage to 15mm.   Flash compensation operation   As a new feature, the flash compensation settings can be operated with flash in addition to the settings made with camera body (note: only with SLT-A99V camera body).   Color Conversion Filter for LED Light, Built-in Diffuser for LED Light   Using a built-in diffuser reduces glare and softens light. It can also lessen unnatural multiple shadows. Using a color conversion filter lets you change the color temperature to about 3,200K (at maximum brightness).  Slide-out bounce sheet   The HVL-F60M features a slide-out bounce sheet built into the flash head, and can be used in portraits and other bounced light shots to direct light at a subject's pupils to deliver more lively expression.  Large Dot Matrix LCD   The large, easy-to-see LCD display and intuitive button layout make it easy to configure the HVL-F60M for a variety of shooting needs.  Mini-stand   The HVL-F60M comes with a mini-stand that can stand on its own or be mounted to a tripod or lighting stand for increased wireless freedom. Folds up for easy storage.  Dust and moisture resistant design   Sealing materials are set at joints of outer materials (body, LCD panel, Mounting Foot etc.) and around movement/ operating parts thereby increasing the life of the flash unit.

Used Sony HVL-F60M Wireless Shoe Mount Flash with built-in LED light, GN# 60m at 105mm position V

I bought this to go with an A77ii to replace a older flash with the fragile AutoLock shoe that's I'd used with my A700. First time I came to use this in anger it was a good job that I took my old flashgun and a shoe adaptor too. This version suffers a serious overheating problem and cannot be used for a slow steady succession of portrait shots. For all it can do, it can't keep up with a couple of firing every couple of minutes.

Very expensive for something that never worked as it should, seriously disappointing

Amazing spec, if only it delivered, but it doesn't

Exposure is on point every single time. The integrated system even recognizes the diffuser and adjust accordingly. I shhot all my weddings and event with just one unit on each camera and get absolutely great results every time. Great buy and does what was promised

Best flash I've used

The locking mechanism releases un-expectedly causing the speedlight to fall off the camera. Weak construction for the price point. Love Sony but the speedlights need some work.

lock mount is poor quality for price point

This has been great and really helped me when I have required on-camera flash. How the heck do I get it off camera with a TTL cord? It's like it's a secret or something! Is there not a simple cord that attached from the flash to the camera like virtually EVERY other flash in existence? I just want to get it on a bracket or something!

Great Flash! Except...

The locking mechanism is a cheap and over time will fail ( a problem which happen to my other photographer friends ) and let’s the flash unlock from the camera and slip from the hot seat.

This flash deserves a 5 Star rate but !

Bought two years ago for pro use. The mount lock has failed Not robust enough. Repair appears not be possible in the UK according to website. Therefore now an expensive piece of junk

Poor Build

Overheating apparently is a problem, I see it everywhere. But I did not experience it yet and do use this flash for high-end weddings. Now I found out the crazy fact. For the first time I was using Energizer Ultimate Lithium, supposedly the best batteries in the market and unfortunately I bought 50 pieces. I was very surprised how often the unit was overheated. Never happened with cheap batteries!!! Might be good tip for others.

Overal the flash is well build and I use pretty often that build-in LED light.

I love this flash and I have a note to overheating

I was delighted to use this product. Former Nikon user and switched to Sony about 6 months ago.As an experienced on-off camera flash unit user, I purchased thid for nighttime event. It was excellent. A ton of power, quick recycle and fantastically easy to use.

Ease of setup and use!

it has more than sufficient lighting ratio and works well ettl which eliminates a guess work to provide sufficient lighting but it gets heavy so it would be better for off camera lightings need

Sony HVL-F60m flash

I haven't had a chance to use it at a shoot but it has awesome capabilities and I'm excited to put it to use.  Unlike other bundles, this bundle has items I will actually use.  I feel great about my purchase.  Others complain it uses batteries pretty fast so I will be prepared with lots of charged up batteries.

Capture the Scene

It is a great flash but not very reliable it will over heat so fast and not in direct son. I love the power and menu. I would not take it on a paying job. It is like an old girl friend you lover her but she might cheat on you at any point and time. Should not be that way cause of the price

I've only had this a week or so and just as with my other new Sony gear I'm very impressed. I'm on a steep learning curve at the moment but I've already had some impressive results....and a few not so, which were my fault not the equipment's !

A Great Flash Unit

This is the second of these that I have purchased and use it professionally in my work which means it could be in action 6 days a week when things are busy. It is a good, solid, usually reliable piece of kit. It does have a bit of weight to go with it, something to consider when you're carrying it around.

An essential work horse

This flash seems to be okay in the "Flash" department. However the mount is made of extremely light, brittle plastic.  It didn't hold up to light usage and now we get to see how well Sony stands behind it at warranty.  :(

Needs mount upgrade

Have had this flash for about 3 weeks. Have had not issues with overheating. No problems with it at all. Very good flash..

Awesome flash

Great flash !! 

thanks for your help

Excellent couldn't ask for anything better right now.

Excellent couldn't ask for anything better right now

TTL was fantastic! The infrared had some trouble helping the camera find focus in dark rooms but that was not unexpected. In that  regard, the Nikon flash was a little better in the dark rooms but not by much. The vertical feature on the Sony flash eliminated any need for a strobe frame. It would be handy if the LED worked simultaneously with the flash to help with the focusing in dark rooms. The over all performance was outstanding..

TTL was fantastic! 

Powerful, flexible flash that works seamlessly with A7R

Flashgun

Recent aquisition to go with a used Sony A99v - Brilliant on it's own but also enables all the previous functions of my older Minolta wireless flashes to be utilized. I'm a VERY happy bunny ;-)

Versitile and backwards compatible

Considering the price for the bundle is $100 less than the normal cost of the flash alone, this was a no-brainer for my Sony A99.  I do consider the HVL-F60M's inability to operate with a radio trigger to be a real detriment, but otherwise I really like it. Well designed and well built. It worked fine off-camera using my Sony A58's onboard flash (unfortunately, the A99 doesn't have one).

A very good deal for the bundle

I have been using the HVL-F60M flashgun for portraits, weddings and events and it has proved to be even better than my Nikon SB900. The electronic contacts in the foot are numerous and not readily visible and to keep them clean I advise ALWAYS replacing the foot cap when the gun is not in use. My first cap came off too easily and I had to order replacements

The Sony HVL-F60M flashgun

This is a very good product the flash is bright and with the video light that helps me to use on ring shots.

swivel light

Been using in a pro capacity for a while now - however, the flash to camera locking mechanism stopped locking, making the flash virtually unusable in my line of work. Apart from that the product is outstanding.

Great Flash

I couldn't not say something. I am glad it isn't just me. This flash was a waste of money. Besides the overheating problem which is ridiculous all the proprietary attachments that don't couple well to remotes make this a bad investment. I love my Sony 99, love my Zeiss lens , but get a different flash system.
