Product details

The powerful compact flash unit with a guide number of 43 (at ISO 100 and reflector position for 105 mm) features a built-in diffuser to widen the beam angle, allowing it to illuminate the field of view of a 14 mm lens. Versatile in use, it is recommended for both amateur and professional photographers.

A range of new performance features enhances flexibility and ease of use. The flash recycling time has been improved by approximately 20 percent, and the charging process is notably quiet and unobtrusive. A metal foot with connection contacts ensures stable communication between the camera and the flash. Additionally, a mechanism for quickly attaching and detaching the Speedlite has been integrated, which has already proven effective in the Speedlite 580 EX II.

The Speedlite 430 EX III-RT can serve as a central component of an integrated flash system for both analog and digital cameras and supports distance-linked E-TTL-II flash.

The Canon Speedlite 430EX III-RT is a little more compact than its competitors, but can score with a demonstrably higher brightness. The operating concept is not particularly modern, especially as the controls are a little small. Once you get used to them, however, you can get along well...
