Canon 430EX II Shoe Mount Flash

Great and powerful flash with very fast recycle

Great flash for Canon users. Extremely (near instant) and silent recycle, even after strong burst usage. The flash is very well made with a simple but intuitive interface although most of it is handled in-camera. I bought this as a second flash to use in slave mode as a fill flash along with my existing 580EX which it does very well. If you are using it on its own the bounce capability is great with full swivel range but the omission of a small catch-light reflector knocks it down one star. I think that for the retail price a small (but very useful) small sliding piece of white plastic wouldn't be too much to ask. For the price paid on eBay though I really have no grounds to complain over minor details!Read full review

Great quality product

Hello all, I bought this speedlite 2nd hand on ebay and
It is very reliable and a fast refresh rate on the flash,
At £56 in mint condition you can't go wrong,
It's no point buying new on something like this,
Works very well on my 24-105 canon zoom,
Just be aware that there's no slave flash input on this
Model for studio work, you will need the 580 or 600ex
For that, stick to canon for quality and durability! Read full review

Excellent piece of kit

This product is really good, so I have two of them controlled by radio triggers for some useful lighting effects. Take the time to study how they work and you will be rewarded with good results. Power is such that best use is at relatively;y short range, but should not expect to lug around studio levels of power in your backpack. I am very satisfied with this item, it is well made and robust

Great little flash unit

I bought the Canon Speedlite 430EX 11 on ebay to use with my Canon M5 camera. I bought the M5 mirrorless camera because of it's light weight due to health reasons which meant I couldn't carry my usual canon dslr for hours on end anymore.

I wanted a light weight, smallish, speedlite to compliment my M5 and did some research on line. This one although not the newest speedlite around got really good reviews.

I'm delighted with it, great output, very quick recycle time...good weight and balances very well with my camera. Have had some great results with it. Very adaptable with the variable head positions..all in all a great Speedlite.

Can honestly say that I haven't found any negative points so far on the Canon 430EX 11.

An Upgrade to my existing flash

Paired with my Canon EOS 5D MkII this unit integrates perfectly with the camera. More powerful then my old flash unit and tracks the zoom lens position automatically. Damn clever. Good recycle rate using rechargeable batteries.Read full review

Good On Camera Flash

The Canon Speedlite 430 EXII seems to be a good flash to use as in upgrade from the built in flash. It works well and adjustments are good.
There are bigger & more powerful units, but this unit has the advantage that it fits in a pocket or small camera bag.Read full review

Great Speedlight

This is a versatile Canon dedicated speedlight. Is can work in full TTL mode, or Manual mode. It is both hot shoe mountable and wireless enabled. Check your camera for that function, it does work with the 7D and 7Dii. When working in manual mode, the power is adjustable from full power down to 1/64 power in 1/3 increments.Read full review
