Freeze It. See It. Shape It.
The Vintage Z1 Pro retains its signature retro aesthetic with leather-textured finish and silver metal accents, while introducing a more professional level of flash performance for advanced creative expression.
A newly integrated circular color touchscreen enhances usability with clearer information display and a more intuitive, fluid control experience.
Equipped with TTL auto mode and High-Speed Sync (HSS) up to 1/8000s, it delivers greater exposure accuracy and flexibility in complex lighting conditions. S1/S2 dual optical trigger modes enable versatile off-camera and multi-light setups.
Despite its compact 136g body, it delivers 24Ws of output with a 1-second full-power recycle time for reliable performance on the go. Compatible with Sony, Nikon, Canon, and Fujifilm hot shoe systems, Vintage Z1 Pro also supports pass-through charging, allowing you to power up while shooting.
High-Speed Sync Capability
The Z1 Pro adds High-Speed Sync (HSS) capability, supporting shutter speeds up to 1/8000s. It allows wide-aperture shooting even under harsh midday light, preserving soft background separation while keeping the subject naturally and evenly lit.
HSS - Supports shutter speeds up to 1/8000s
Power Range in HSS Mode - 1/1 to 1/16
Sync Mode - High-Speed Sync / Front-Curtain Sync / Rear-Curtain Sync
Intuitive Touch Control
The circular color touchscreen provides clear key info and enables fast, intuitive touch-based control of core flash settings. Paired with the physical control dial, it delivers a natural and fluid operating experience: A simple swipe switches between M and A flash modes, while vertical gestures provide quick access to HSS, creating a responsive and intuitive control flow. A customizable startup screen adds a subtle personal touch, extending the experience beyond pure functionality.
Instant-Response TTL Mode
In TTL mode, the camera uses pre-flash metering to automatically determine optimal flash output, ensuring accurate exposure across different lighting conditions, allowing you to focus on composition and timing without manual flash adjustments.
Switching to Manual mode provides full control over light output, with power levels from 1/1 to 1/64 and fine 1/3-step adjustments for precise and flexible light shaping.
TTL Mode - Automatic flash output via pre-flash metering
Manual Mode - Power range from 1/1 to 1/64 with 1/3-step fine adjustment
Control Method - Touchscreen swipe or physical control dial press for quick mode switching
24Ws Burst Meets 1s Recycle
With 24Ws of output and a fast 1s recycle time, the Z1 Pro delivers sufficient fill power and rapid responsiveness for everyday shooting scenarios. From backlit portraits to indoor environments and dynamic street scenes, it provides consistent fill that instantly enhances light balance and adds depth and texture to your images.
