Superb but watch the infrared…
At first I could not figure out the different modes and spent considerable time failing to get the flash to work as a slave. Well, it doesn’t have the ability to be used in groups/channels and can only work using infrared. My main flash just would not trigger this flash at all and then suddenly I read why on the internet. Infrared doesn’t work in bright conditions and would you believe it I was sat there near my window at the dining table for half hour and it wouldn’t work. So I moved into the middle of the room where no sun was coming in, and boom it worked!!! It doesn’t need to be in direct line of vision either. I just put it in S1 mode and it fires when my main Godox flash triggers it. I used a transmitter on top of the camera which triggers the main flash on group A channel 26 and when it fires that ‘master’ flash it makes the ‘slave’ (this one I’m reviewing) flash too. There’s no fancy menus. This really is a no frills flash. No lcd screen. You can only change the power of the light and the type of space mode you want; s1 or s2. That’s all. If you want all the bells and whistles then this isn’t a flash for you. If you want a slave unit that simply allows you to adjust power (say for lightning your backdrop) then this is perfect. Comes with a nice bag and some light filters

Photoolex good 5 star
Super item, product is good quality and very responsive I’m extremely impressed with the PHOTOOLEX Camera Flash Speedlite. It delivers bright, consistent lighting and works perfectly for both indoor and outdoor photography. The build quality feels solid and professional, yet it’s lightweight and easy to carry around for events or travel shoots. The controls are simple to understand, making setup quick even for beginners. I especially liked the fast recycle time and adjustable brightness settings, which helped me capture sharp, well-lit photos without missing important moments. It also pairs smoothly with my camera and performs reliably every time. For the price, this Speedlite offers excellent value and features that compete with much more expensive flashes. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their photography lighting setup! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Reliable Light, Right When I Need It
I added a Speedlite to my Canon kit for low-light shoots and it’s been a game-changer. The bounce and swivel head gives me full control over shadows. Recycle time is fast enough for burst shooting, and the build feels rugged—no overheating, no misfires. Whether I’m capturing detail in a dim workspace or adding fill outdoors, it’s become a go-to tool in my setup

In all fairness mines working fine
First off I can't show in video how to use as I don't have a second camera to show the camera I am using this with. At first I was getting completely dark images when using this but realised you have to play around with the settings to get the right balance of light. I was using this for bouncing the flash off the ceiling to avoid flash reflection as I am using it to copy LP sleeves of some very old LPs from the 60s which I will use for CD sleeves as I am recording them. To get a good shot I had to set the flash unit on 1.1 at the far right. It gave just the right amount of light to get a real good copy of the LP sleeve without the flash spoiling the photo with reflection issues which is what you get with the built in flash and which is what you get with glossy picture copying. So far happy with the unit. The last time I did this sort of work was back in the 70s with a Zenith SSL 35mm camera so its nice to use my knowledge with the new digital photography compared to roll film. I also used a tripot and music stand to hold my LP Sleeve still to get a perfect in focus shot. Yes so far so good with this unit. Mines was in a sealed box so it was definitely new and unused. I am just hoping it wont break down after some use like a lot of users on here. If that happens I will be back to update my review.

You get what you pay for. Don't expect wide flat or a powerful unit.
If, like me you use wide angle lenses, then this isn't for you. Works ok with a 40mm lens up to about 10 feet, but go wider and the flash just lights the middle of the frame once you go over 6 feet away. I used this with a Leica SL2-S with a zoom and on a Nikon ZF with 40mm lens. Worked far better on the Nikon. I compared the flash to my small Leica brand flash and even at 24mm and 12 feet away the flash gave adequate power. Ok the Leica Flash cost me 5 times as much but you get what you pay for.

Bra blixt för pengarna
En bra blixt för pengarna. Tolkade dess värre produktinformationen fel så den passade inte på kameran jag beställde den till så tyvärr gick den i retur.

Ideal für Anfänger und Fortgeschrittene
Ich habe den Blitz gekauft, weil ich etwas Solides wollte, ohne gleich Unsummen auszugeben. Und ehrlich gesagt, ich bin positiv überrascht. Der Blitz funktioniert einwandfrei, reagiert schnell und liefert genau das, was man braucht. Kein Schnickschnack, keine komplizierten Menüs, einfach anschließen, einstellen und loslegen. Für Anfänger oder Hobbyfotografen ist das Ding wirklich super. Man bekommt ein Gefühl für Licht, Reflexion und Timing, ohne gleich das Profi-Equipment auspacken zu müssen. Auch wer schon ein bisschen Erfahrung hat, kann mit dem Blitz gut arbeiten. Die Ausleuchtung ist gleichmäßig, die Leistung für Porträts, kleine Shootings oder Innenräume absolut ausreichend. Natürlich merkt man, dass es kein High-End-Modell ist. Ein paar Komfortfunktionen fehlen, und das Gehäuse könnte etwas hochwertiger wirken. Aber das ändert nichts daran, dass er zuverlässig arbeitet und genau das macht, was er soll. Ich benutze ihn inzwischen regelmäßig und habe bisher keinen Grund zur Klage. Wer also lernen will, mit Blitz zu fotografieren, oder einfach ein günstiges, funktionierendes Modell sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Für mich eine klare Empfehlung.

ersatile, potente, super economico: il flash perfetto per iniziare
Il PHOTOOLEX FK300 è un flash sorprendente per chi cerca prestazioni solide senza spendere una fortuna. Con numero guida GN33, copre con luce brillante soggetti anche a media distanza, ideale per ritratti, still life e fotografia in interni. La temperatura di colore da 5600K ± 200K restituisce toni naturali e bilanciati, ben gestibili anche in post-produzione. Supporta tre modalità: manuale, S1 e S2 (ottiche) – perfette per usarlo sia sulla slitta hot shoe, sia da remoto in set multi-flash. Non ha la funzione TTL, ma per chi ama controllare esposizione e creatività, è un ottimo allenamento. Costruzione solida, testa inclinabile e ruotabile per bounce flash, con controllo dell’uscita su 8 livelli. Compatibile con moltissimi brand, tra cui Canon, Nikon, Sony (con hot shoe standard Mi), Olympus, Fujifilm, Pentax e altri – ma attenzione: non è adatto ad alcuni modelli recenti come Canon SL3/250D, T7/1500D o Sony A850. Include 12 gel colorati, mini stand, custodia e manuale. Funziona con 4 batterie AA e ha un tempo di ricarica stimato tra 0.1 e 5 secondi. In breve: se cerchi il tuo primo flash esterno, un secondo da abbinare, o vuoi sperimentare col flash stroboscopico senza svenarti, questo è un acquisto super centrato.
