Superb powerful flash

The HVL F600RM2 is a superb powerful flash gun. It is easy to operate and illuminates portraits and groups evenly. It has a useful built in wide panel and bounce sheet - although they can be a bit fiddly to extract. There is a separate diffuser and a couple of colour filters. There is an off camera stand which sits snugly in a pouch in the case. It is a shame the case doesn't fully accommodate the flash gun with the diffuser in place. Which is a surprising corner cut by Sony for such a high end product. I would have liked more robust padding on the case and an external loop for attaching to a camera bag or belt would be a useful addition. Given the power of the gun you need to be aware that it gets through batteries at a rate of knots and I would recommend a couple of sets of rechargeables.

Best flash for the A7iv?

Owned now for a few months and it is fantastic! Total integration and built for the Sony - nothing will work this well. I returned some off-make gear that felt a little cheap, so glad I splashed out on this - amazing bit of kit! Highly recommended!

Not the best option

I bought this for wedding photography. The deal breaker is I can't used the flash of camera unless I spend another $350 in a remote trigger. Sony as far as I know does not offer a hot shoe cord.

Just works!

I also have the 28RM and they work wirelessly together with one as commander and the other as receiver. Perfect ttl metering, they are expensive but just work seamlessly with the Sony body.

A must have accessory for A9III shooters

As someone who primarily focused on natural light photography, integrating the Sony HVL-F60RM2 flash into my setup with the Sony A9III has been a game-changer. This flash has opened up new creative avenues for me, enhancing my ability to achieve a professional, polished look in my photos. One of the standout features of this flash is its ease of use. It's truly a plug-and-play experience with the Sony A9III. There's no complex setup required, making it accessible even for those who are new to flash photography. This simplicity allows photographers to focus more on capturing the perfect shot rather than fiddling with settings. What really sets the HVL-F60RM2 apart is its capability to maintain full power output even at extremely high shutter speeds, like 1/80,000th of a second. This is a significant advantage over many other flash systems, which often struggle to deliver full power at high speeds, resulting in underexposed images. This feature has been particularly useful in my photography, allowing me to capture sharp, well-lit images even in bright sunlight or when I need to freeze fast action. Using this flash has also enabled me to experiment with different lighting techniques, such as bouncing the flash off walls to achieve a softer, more even light. This method has helped me create stunning portraits and high-fashion looks with ease. However, I did encounter a minor hiccup initially. The flash came with firmware version 1.0, and I had difficulty updating it on my MacBook Pro. The solution was to install a specific driver on my MacBook, which then allowed the firmware update to proceed smoothly. Since updating the firmware, it has been smooth sailing. Overall, my experience with the Sony HVL-F60RM2 flash has been overwhelmingly positive. It has not only improved the quality of my photos but also made flash photography much more approachable. I highly recommend this flash for anyone looking to elevate their photography with the Sony A9III.

I am so happy about the product, it works perfectly. I can change the amount of light, but I still struggle to adjust the remote.

Say goodbye to 3rd party. You will never go back to them after using this superb Sony flash. I never travel without it. Superb quality and control from the camera rather than awkward 3rd party menus and controls.

Buyer beware

This new and unimproved version has a feature removed that?s a deal breaker for me and if you?re familiar with it it may be a deal breaker for you as well. Sony In there infinite unwisdom decided to remove the quick shift bounce function and if you?re not familiar with that, it allows you to take images with the flash on the camera in portrait/vertical mode without getting those harsh shadows that every other make of speedlights have and that includes the high end Profoto so needless to say I?m returning this disappointment pronto. Oh and one more thing, the display is cut in half from the previous two versions so it?s very small.

For Events & Weddings

Bought this a week ago and used for one large event of about 250 people. I was a Canon user for over 30 years, comparing to Canon picture quality this is not my choice. I bought sony setup for video filming, but I will not use for any event photography. Hope Sony is performing well on outdoor photography, but images does not give any natural look. Suffering to edit to get to some corrections made my time wast. Canon images what I expos I can sell straight away. But near future I will get my hands on with Sony.
