I need a flash for Sony A7Siii

[hillary]

Please note this is the 7S****iii 

I have tried the Godox TT685II-S. This flash would not fire, it is hot shoe mount. I checked the guide in the box and the 7s was not listed. I am seeking a hot shoe mount flash that has a Manuel mode that someone is actively shooting with. In my research I’m just not finding anything… thank you so much for your support!

Here's the compatibility list for the Godox TT685S II. The A7SIII is listed, 4th column at the bottom. 

Godox TT685S II Flash for Sony Cameras TT685IIS B&H Photo Video 

Any of these flashes will work with any of Sony's cameras that don't have the old proprietary shoe. Suggest you contact GODOX support for help.

Thank you for your response @Cameratose. Again I’m looking for someone who is currently shooting with an a7siii and wanting to know what flash they are using. I went to a photo supply today and they were unsure as well as to why it wouldn’t fire with godox

Which is exactly why you should be contacting Godox customer service rather than hoping to find a needle in a haystack. They're the experts, it's their flash. They can tell you if it will or won't work. Good luck.

@Cameratose thank you for your response. If you see my original post you will see that the insert in the godbox did not have my camera listed. I am seeking someone who is actively shooting with the A7siii, and the flash that they have found has worked for them. Thanks!

Right, so the smart thing to do is hope that someone comes along, rather than contact the people who actually manufacture the flash and get a factual answer. Proof that you can lead a horse to water...
