I am looking for Wireless flash and navigator for Sony a6000


Recommended Posts

You need (this is for what is called optical wireless):

- A Control flash: In Sony, it can be HVL-F20M, F28RM, F32M, F43M, F45RM, F60M, F60RM

In normal WL operation, the controller flash does not emit much light so the size/power of the control flash is somewhat irrelevant to your end results. Some control flashes can provide what is called Ratio on 3 channels and these can provide a substantial amount of light in WL operation but these are the larger units like HVL-F43M, F45RM, F60M and F60RM only.

- One ( or more) WL flash: and depending on your control flash:

If your control flash is one of the M's above, you can use any combination of these as wireless flash: HVL-F32M, F43M, F45RM, F60M, F60RM plus the older HVL-F36AM, F42AM, F56AM, F58AM

If your control flash is one of the 2 RM flashes: HVL-F32M, F43M, F60M, F60RM (and HVL-F43AM or F58AM if they are placed in Ctrl mode (CTRL+) 

 

Note that the units whose model number ends with RM are the newer type that also includes Radio wireless but this is limited to use only on certain bodies (maybe check the Sony site for their compatibility) Here

 

Other brands may offer WL flash units and controllers but their usability could be partially incompatible since there are many protocols of language between body/flash/lens and some combinations may prove unreliable or not work at all
