What to consider before buying

When choosing a flash shoe mount, consider your camera system (Canon, Nikon, Sony, etc.) for best TTL/HSS compatibility. Manual flashes are cheaper but require more skill. Built-in radio triggers simplify multi-flash setups. For beginners, a budget TTL flash like Flashpoint Zoom Li-on offers great value. Ensure the flash has a swivel head for bounce photography. Avoid generic no-name brands with poor reliability.
