Work perfectly with my Nikon d750.

Highly recommend. My last client gave me a $500 tip so happy.

This is a good basic TTL flash for Nikon DSLR and mirrorless cameras. It uses 4 AA batteries which make swapping them easy when the set of 4 goes bad. It only has basic features but this makes it easier to use than a Nikon or GoDox flash. Neewer also sells this flash for other DSLR/mirrorless cameras.

I've always been a fan of Neewer and their products. They get the job done without breaking the bank. The flash has lots of adjustment and it can get VERY bright. I also have one of these for my Canon SL3 and love that one too; I've had it for a few years and it hasn't died yet!

I am presently surprised at how well this flash works. Especially under $100! I recently purchased a mirrorless camera, and this flash compliments its capabilities.The flash feels a little heavy for me when in portrait position. I took the flash to try it out at a friend’s wedding. The walls were about 20ft high. I used it on TTL with an ISO 800 at around f8 which allowed some ambient light to show in the background. I was satisfied with the results.The price point of this flash and it’s ease of use makes it a great buy.

Even though the seller doesn't mention Nikon Z30 camera as being a compatible model, I noticed that Nikon Z50 and Zfc cameras were on the list. Knowing that the newer Nikon Z30 is very similar to them internally, I found this odd. So I gave it a try.And my (non-exhaustive) tests seem to suggest that the Nikon Z30 works just fine with this NEEWER speedlite NW-654II-N. (NOTE: "Speedlite" is basically just another term for "flash".)In short, I found this speedlite to be feature-packed, yet very easy-to-use when it is used in the default automatic TTL mode. ("TTL" = Through-The-Lens)Given the asking price of less than $100, it appears to be a very good value for the money, especially when compared against genuine Nikon offerings.EASY TO USE IN THE AUTO (TTL) MODEIn the default automatic ("TTL") mode, this NEEWER speedlite is very easy to use.For example, when you zoom in or zoom out with your lens, the head position of the NEEWER speedlite automatically changes (you hear the whirring sounds of the internal motor), so as not to waste the light output when the lens is looking at a narrower, telephoto view. And if the camera's mode dial is set to most anything other than the M (manual) mode, you really don't have to know or think much about flash photography; the camera and the speedlight will work together to figure out the aperture, shutter speed, and control the brightness of the light output for a properly exposed image.TAKING CONTROL: THE MANUAL MODEAt the same time, though, if and when you want to take control, the NEEWER speedlite lets you manually set most speedlite parameters. It was straightforward to control the various speedlite settings using the speedlite control panel, from the light output level to the zoom head position (the available settings are: 24, 28, 35, 50, 70, 105, 135, and 180mm), and much more. It's all up to you.HOW BRIGHT?But when shopping for speedlites, one of the most important specifications is the maximum brightness. How much light can this NEEWER speedlite output?To find out, I ran a series of quick (not definitive) but practical tests to measure the maximum light output level of this Neewer, using the camera and the speedlite both in manual modes.GUIDE NUMBER (GN) OF A SPEEDLITEAs you may know, in flash photography, the brightness of speedlites are often expressed in what's known as Guide Number ("GN").Briefly, here is how GN works: Let's say, a particular speedlite has a GN of "160 ft at ISO100". That would mean that, (basically) you can expect to obtain a properly exposed image by setting the camera's aperture to f/8 if the subject is 20 ft from the speedlite (160 / 8 = 20), provided the camera's ISO is set to 100.Or, you can use any equivalent combinations, such as: f/2 at 80ft (160 / 2 = 80), f/4 at 40ft, or f/16 at 10 ft, and so on. And since GN of 160@ISO100 is the same as GN of 320 @ ISO400 you could also use f/2 at 160ft (320/2 = 160), f/4 at 80ft, f/8 at 40 ft, and so on and so forth, if you set the ISO to 400.GN TEST RESULT & COMPARISON against a NIKON SPEEDLITE SB-700AFSo I tested this NEEWER in my small living room. (I mention this because small rooms tend to amplify the light level by the flash light bouncing off of the walls and the ceiling.) I found the GN of the NEEWER speedlit to be roughly 165 ft, at ISO 100 and at the 35mm head position.For comparison, I looked up the product specs of Nikon speedlite SB-700AF, what appears to be a popular Nikon speedlite. The GN of the Nikon is listed as 92 ft (also at ISO100 at the 35mm head position).(BTW, the NEEWER gives GN of 191ft @ ISO100 at the maximum head position of 180mm (instead of 35mm), for this NEEWER speedlite. But use of the different head position makes a direct comparison against Nikon's published GN figure difficult.)The NEEWER IS ~3x BRiGHTERThis quick test of the maximum light output at a certain setting against a particular Nikon speedlite is perhaps an apple-and-orange comparison. Also, there is a lot more to a speedlite than just the maximum brightness.That said, based purely on these two GN figures of 165 (NEEWER) vs 92 (Nikon) (ft, @ISO100 at 35mm head position), the NEEWER appears to be about 3 times brighter than the 3 or 4 times more expensive Nikon! ((165 / 92)^2 = 3.21)Not bad at all.A NOTE ON COMPATIBILITYCompatibility of third party products like this NEEWER speedlite can be tricky. At least in theory (and sometimes in practice), future camera firmware updates can break the product compatibility of this NEEWER speedlite with Nikon cameras. Also, note that I did not test to see if this NEEWER speedlite plays well with a Nikon speedlite when they are used together, for example.So there is something to be said about the safety of sticking with genuine Nikon products.CONCLUSIONOverall, based on the list of features and apparent compatibility with the Nikon Z30, I find this product to be a very good value especially at the current price.If I was Elon Musk, I would stick with genuine Nikon speedlites and call it a day. But if value is a factor in your comparison shopping (as it often is to me), I think this product represents a very good value. So based on that, I am giving this product 5 stars.= = =As weighed on my digital scale:- Weight (without 4 AA batteries needed, but not included): 408g / 0.9 lbs

If you use flash occasionally why spend the big bucks for the band name. Or if you need a second (or 3rd) flash sometimes this works well. I don't do a lot of flash work, so something as a fill flash to pair with my Nikon SB that doesn't cost an arm and a leg is a good thing. I've only ever used NiMH batteries in it so the recycle time is good enough for me.Is it studio grade...well that depends on your studio doesn't it? ;-) For the impromptu sidewalk shot or under the trees...small flashes like this are great self contained, easy to add more frames with easily accessible AA batteries and a lot more portable than the studio lights.The build quality isn't as good as my 3-4X the price name brand, but is that really a bad thing? It flashes and the exposures sure seem equal so a good choice for the pocket book.

I can't say much of the functionality, I bought it for my Nikon Z7ii and it would not work. I could manually set the flash off, but the camera did not recognize the flash was attached. I had to return it.

For a relatively basic flash that does support TTL shooting, this is an excellent flash with a pretty good and rather inexpensive option. This flash works great on-camera and off-camera, having TTL, Manual, Multi and Slave (optical) but no 2.4GHz trigger support. It features power between 1/1 to 1/128 with +0.33eV increments and has a zoom feature between 24mm and 180mm.To facilitate use off-camera this flash comes with a stand that also adds a 1/4" mount underneath it. It's also appreciated that a small pocket is featured in the flash carrying case that fits perfectly the stand. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the included diffuser which has nowhere to be stored.It overall works great for me be it on camera, or off camera using optical slave. There are higher end models that will have 2.4GHz triggers that can support eTTL but I am perfectly happy with manual control, which is still the way to go in general the way to go anyway. It is among the lowest price options out there yet can support TTL for your system, and whether it is for macro or for portraiture you can make it work perfectly fine as long as you have your distances within reason.The only annoyance for me is the controls. The circular button is a D-pad style button but it can all too easily actuate the nearby button by accident. To be fair, this particular flash I received feels alright in this respect but having tried a few other NW645/NW635 the button from unit to unit can be a little unprecise. This means that for some controls such as modifying the value of zoom or multi flash settings, you can all too easily disengage the modification/set because it detected a button press on the adjacent button (up/down instead of left/right you are pressing)... so changing settings can be quite a bit of a hassle. Too bad because aside from this usability issue, the whole flash unit works excellent and represents great value and great performance.

Compré este flash como complemento de mi equipo Nikon reflex, ya que es compatible con el sistema nikon de control remoto de flashes. Tengo un sb700 y consigo esquemas de iluminación fácilmente regulables desde cámara que es lo que buscaba. Todo perfecto.

je n'arrive pas à faire fonctionner le flash en mode déporter avec un Nikon D7500?

Flash facile da utilizzare, il ttl risponde ottimamente. Utilizzato in due diversi matrimoni non ha dato segni di surriscaldamento e mantiene un consumo ridotto delle batterie. Per certi versi molto meglio dell'originale. Se consideriamo il lato economico è davvero un ottimo acquisto.

NEEWER Upgraded NW645II-N TTL Flash Speedlite, GN58 HSS Optical Slave Rear Curtain SyncI have been a Nikon shooter and TTL flash shooter before iTTL in Nikon-speak existed. I also shoot with strobes in the studio as well as LED lights for video. While I still have and use my Nikon speedlites (flashes) I'm always open to new things. Let me just say that NEEWER has hit this one OUT OF THE PARK!- Works in all modes with my DSLRs and Z bodies (presently Z9, Z7, Z6, D800 & D7200)- TTL accuracy is very good.- FP sync (HSS) is perfect to 1/8000.- Works with Nikon CLS-compatible flashes and cameras in TTL mode. What a surprise!- Flash functions are intuitive for experienced users; the manual is clear for newer users.- The included add-on diffuser is a necessity as the flash head has its own unique shape.- Many universal flash diffusers will work fine.- Tilt and swivel head including some negative tilt (which is nice).- Compares favorably in terms of power output with most mid-power on-camera strobes.- Recycle rate with fresh NiMH batteries is as advertised (very good).- It's relatively lightweight/ uses modern plastics which is good.- Metal foot secures well to the cameras.- Mini stand, soft case (and diffuser) included.- Extendable wide angle diffuser on flash head.- Bounce card built into flash head.Misses?- It has a tendency to overexpose at very close range with fast lenses set wide open and extreme contrast (e.g. bright subject/ dark background.) Side Note: Be sure not to use auto ISO or anything but base ISO if testing this. Other than that, exposures are dead on.- Does not appear to be compatible with NEEWER QPRO flash transmitter.- Guide Number (GN58) figure is not quoted precisely (e.g. zoom setting/ aperture info is missing)Nikon is renowned for the accuracy of their on-camera flash. It's no insult if I say the NW645III-N is 100% as good 99+% of the time. This is a very capable flash. It works with Nikon's latest bodies (as of this writing). It's easy to use.Worth considering. Recommended accordingly.
