New Compact LightPix Lab FlashQ x20 For Sony Cameras


You can get the new compact LightPix Lab FlashQ x20 from B&H Photo and Amazon

The compact, lightweight FlashQ x20 with Transmitter for Sony from LightPix Labs is a cost-efficient, Sony ADI / P-TTL-compatible lighting solution with advanced triggering and control features. The lightweight, compact flash easily fits into tight places where larger units can’t go. With a guide number of 65, the FlashQ x20 has TTL power selection and runs on two alkaline or rechargeable NiMH batteries, and it will recycle quickly depending on the batteries in use.

One of the flash’s clever features is the removeable Sony TTL transmitter that comes with the unit. By detaching the transmitter and mounting the flash head remotely on a light stand, you can adjust power and trigger it from the on-camera transmitter at a distance. In fact, the transmitter can control several x20s simultaneously. Features include 1st and 2nd curtain sync and flash exposure compensation. Perks include a built-in filter holder and tilting capability. Finally, a pleasant surprise is FlashQ x20’s LED light, which can be used as a modeling light, or with its high CRI of 95, used as a video light.

Sony Camera Compatibility
a7, a7 II, a7 III, a7R II, a7R III, a7R IV, a7s, a7s II, a7s III, a7C, a6000, a6300, a6400, a6500, RX1, RX1R, RX1 R II, RX10, RX10 II, RX10 III, RX10 IV

  • Compatible with Sony ADI / P-TTL
  • Front and rear curtain sync
  • Wireless TTL, off-camera flash any time with detachable transmitter

Remote Triggering Power Level Adjustment
The x20 functions like a typical on-camera flash while attached to the included shoe-mount FlashQ transmitter. Detaching the flash puts it into wireless, mode allowing it to be used off-camera. Wireless triggering and power level adjustment can then be accomplished via the camera-mounted transmitter

Power
The x20 runs on two AA alkaline batteries or two rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. The transmitter can be conveniently charged via USB

LED Video / Modeling Light
The x20 features an LED light for use as a modeling light or with its CRI of 95, used as a video light

First Viltrox E 13mm f/1.4 Images Posted to Weibo


There is a photography convention in China happening today and Viltrox posted some images of it that include our first look of the Viltrox 13mm f/1.4. You can see the original post here. The 13mm should be a very interesting lens for Astrophotography and it might convince me to pick up a full set of Viltrox autofocus lenses.

Sony ZV-E10 Videos Posted Then Pulled


Some Sony ZV-E10 Launch videos dropped and then were pulled and I got to watch one of them before it was pulled and it basically confirmed that this camera is an E-mount camera with Sony ZV1 features that also uses the mic for the ZV1. The video also stated that the ZV-E10 is about the same size as the Sony ZV1. If any videos are reposted I will try to get some more screen grabs but they were gone by the time I got to my computer.

Sekonic has been around for 70 years now and to celebrate the anniversary they are releasing a limited edition L-398A Studio Deluxe III based on the 1956 Studio deluxe edition that is coming this October. Sekonic is only planning to make 700 of these so I am sure they will go fast.

We thank all of our wonderful customers and stakeholders for your support over the years!

We have created a special limited edition light meter to celebrate this milestone:
L-398A Studio Deluxe III
70th Anniversary Edition

Coming October 2021.

Share Our Journey
From our humble beginnings in 1949 – when the first Sekonic light meter was created – and two years later when the “Seiko Electronic Co. Ltd” was established to the current day, we have never lost sight of our design and engineering passion.

One product became the symbolic hallmark product of the Sekonic brand: the Studio Deluxe series. Today, the current version L-398A Studio Deluxe III continues to be a favorite among traditional photographers, educators, and seasoned cinematographers.

We are honored and appreciative to be celebrating this milestone anniversary with you. We wish you continued success and passion, as together we celebrate the creativity and craft of the still and moving image.
