Wouldn’t recommend
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been having some difficulties with this product. When I’m using it it after a few shots the orange light starts blinking and then the flash won’t function when I take a picture and I’ll have to turn it off and then back on to get it to work. I’m not sure what it is but I wish I would’ve just gotten the Godox. Also when I put my mag box flash diffusers on the flash it adds a bit more weight and the flash won’t be able to hold itself up so it’s constantly falling if I jerk it to quickly or have sudden movement I wish it could hold more weight to keep from having to fold it back up every time it collapses Down

Posted .Hi AnaA,
Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the HVLF28RM flash. We don't know the specifications of the flash diffuser that you are using. It could be that it is too heavy for the flash that is why it is not able to hold itself up with it. We'd like to hear more about your issue with the flash operation. Please contact our phone support at 239-245-6360 so that we can assist you further.

Creates weird lines
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The flash itself works well. However, it creates weird lines on your images that show up very noticeably.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendCannot get Wireless control to work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this flash plan to use as a commander to do off camera flash but cannot get it to work with HVL-F32M. Wasted a lot of time and research to try different things but the result is the same. Probably need another flash with wireless remote capability. That mean another one of this flash or F45RM or F60RM to get it to work. As a side note, this flash build quality is good.
