The Westcott S18 Mini Flash combines a tilting flash head, 19-step manual power control and a built-in USB-C rechargeable battery in a package that weighs 3.5 ounces and measures 2.4"x2.1"x0.9".
The solution delivers 18 watts of flash output with a Guide Number of 16 (ISO 100), has a native sync speed of 1/250s, and offers recycle times ranging from 0.01-2.5 seconds. The tilting flash head adjusts from -3 to 72 degrees. Multiple optical slave modes support multi-flash configurations. An internal 3.7V 1250mAh lithium battery delivers up to 500 full-power flashes per charge and recharges via USB-C in approximately 2.5 hours. The S18 also supports charging while in use.
Power adjusts across 19 steps in a seven-stop range (3.0-9.0) with 0.3-stop increments. The S18 mounts to most Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic Lumix, Olympus and Leica cameras via a universal single-pin hot shoe. The kit includes five color gels (Diffusion, CTO, ½ CTO, Yellow and Red), a travel case and a USB charging cable.
The Westcott S18 Mini Flash lists for $39.90.
