Let's face it, most camera flashes look about as exciting as a soggy potato. But the Godox Lux Cadet Retro Camera Flash? Now that's a flash with some pizazz! It's got this old-school charm that makes you feel like a film noir detective about to capture a stunning dame (or dude, no judgement here) in just the right light. Don't be fooled by the vintage vibes though, this little guy packs a serious wallop with a GN10 rating. Basically, it'll banish away shadows faster than you can say "cheese!" Speaking of cheese, the Lux Cadet boasts 7 different flash power levels, so you can achieve that perfect lighting, whether you're going for a dramatic Rembrandt vibe or a bright and cheery family portrait (because let's be honest, forced smiles in bad lighting are a recipe for disaster). Plus, it works with a whole bunch of cameras – Canon, Nikon, Sony, you name it. No more adapter-induced existential dread for this photographer! The best part? It ditches those pesky AA batteries and has a built-in rechargeable one. Hallelujah! No more frantic searches for spare AAs when inspiration strikes (and let's be real, it usually strikes at the most inconvenient times). This little flash is lightweight, powerful, and looks like it belongs in a museum of awesome photography gadgets.

The media could not be loaded. This is such a unique flash for your Camera.It Works perfectly with my Canon. I didn't need the sync cable as the Hot shoe connects to the camera.A real retro feel to it from the leather like texture to the analog style dikes and switches.You charge it up vi's the USBc port and there is a little bag in the box to keep it clean and safe.I can see my sister trying to steal this from me as she loves the vintage look of items.5*****Beautiful device!

The media could not be loaded. I love its classic design, reminiscent of the flash units of yesteryear, and the simple manual controls are a refreshing change from the tech-heavy options out there.The retractable reflector and manual controls bring back a sense of nostalgia for classic photography, while still being intuitive and easy to use.

You really have to love this, this flash has a retro design, with its chrome/silver and black trim that gives it a timeless look. It is an eye-catcher. All the controls are manual, so if you want a modern flash, this really isn’t for you. However, despite this, it does have some great features that make up for it. To be honest I prefer a manual flash as it gives me a lot more control. Despite its metallic build, it is surprisingly lightweight.The best feature of this flash by far is that it's rechargeable, so you won't need to buy batteries all the time. Once it's fully charged, it seems to last for a fair few shooting days. It has a GN10 and works well with its petal-shaped reflector. Using it can be a challenge as this takes a bit of calculation to get the optimal settings. But once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to take some amazing shots.Users can easily switch between manual and automatic exposures by using a convenient switch on the back. In auto mode, the flash will automatically adjust the power to the correct setting for you. Or, if you need more creative control, you can switch to manual mode. You can pop out the small stylish reflector by sliding a side switch, it is quite stiff to begin with but after a few uses it worked great.If you're someone who loves vintage and fashionable camera accessories but doesn't want to spend a lot of money, then this is an excellent alternative available that can meet your needs. This accessory is one of the most innovative and stylish accessories for your camera that you can find in the market. The design of this accessory is stunning, and it can significantly enhance the aesthetics of your camera.

Liked how it sits higher on camera so the lens shade isn’t in the way. And the incremental manual light output settings are easy to use for just a little fill light or as a main source

Für Kamera Enthusiasten die mechanische, vintage Kameras besitzen ist das meiner Meinung nach die beste Alternative zu vintage Blitzen auf dem Markt. Durch das Kabel ist der Blitz mit nahezu allen vintage Kameras kompatibel (getestet mit einer Hasselblad über Kabel) und der solo kontakt funktioniert mit allen modernen und alten hot shoes über manuelle Einstellungen, die wunderbar über die Einstellscheibe mit ISO und Distanz als Referenz eingestellt werden kann. Dazu muss man sich im Gegensatz zu vintage Blitzen nicht mit heute inkompatiblen Batterien rumschlagen.. klare Empfehlung für Film Foto Enthusiasten. Alternativ sind die Godot Lux Junior und Senior zu erwähnen, gleiche Bedienung und Funktionalität, (Junior braucht Batterien) aber der form Faktor der Junior funktioniert nicht wirklich mit Messbecher Kameras, da der bau weit nach hinten rausschaut.. und die Senior ist mir persönlich zu gross. Cadet ist ein tolles Mittelding.

The media could not be loaded. Me encanta este flash con diseño retro. Me llamó la atención sobre todo por su estilo, pero a la vez estaba interesado en usarlo con frecuencia, por lo que su funcionalidad obviamente era también importante. Y después de hacer varias pruebas, estoy muy contento con su uso. No solo llama la atención por su estética, sino que ayuda a conseguir fotos estupendas. Esto es lo que destaco:1. Control manual (como los de antes). Si se quiere tener solo el look retro y las prestaciones de un flash moderno y automático, igual es mejor no utilizar este. Al igual que ocurre con las cámaras de fotos con control manual, se pueden seleccionar los ajustes para conseguir resultados más personales. Esto me gusta. Los controles están en la parte posterior, sencillos de acceder y configurar.2. Es realmente ligero. Aunque da la apariencia de tener una estructura metálica, realmente pesa muy poco. Unos 170 gramos. Y el tamaño es también compacto. Mide 9.4 cm, por 7,1 cm por 5.1 cm.3. Es interesante que no usa pilas, sino que tiene una batería recargable, de 1700 mAh. Completamente cargada puede hacer disparar el flash más de 600 veces. Suficiente para varios días.4. Amplia compatibilidad. Tanto para cámaras analógicas como digitales.5. Cuenta con 7 niveles de potencia.6. Tiene dos modos de exposición, por un lado, el “A”, que es automático y establecerá los niveles óptimos del flash, y el modo “M” es completamente manual, en el que se debe seleccionar los valores de exposición que queremos utilizar.7. En un lateral se encuentra un reflector, que se saca deslizando un interruptor.8. Para abrir los reflectores (estilo abanico) se utiliza un botón lateral y al abrirse, la bombilla se mueve hacia el frente también. Al cerrarlos todo queda plegado y la bombilla protegida.En definitiva, me ha encantado. Además, tiene un precio muy adecuado a las prestaciones que ofrece, pero con un look muy distinto a otros que se encuentran en el mercado. Quizás está más enfocado al uso recreacional, pero crea una iluminación estupenda y deja boquiabiertos a los amigos cuando lo utilizo. Realmente recomendable y lo valoro con 5 estrellas.Espero que te haya resultado útil mi experiencia, fotos o video.

Je viens juste d'acquérir un appareil photo et le flash inclu fait vraiment le minimum, je suis donc heureux de pouvoir tester un flash externe avec mon appareil.Déjà au niveau du style il fait super classe, tout le monde me complimente sur le flash, il a un petit côté rétro qui est top.Il est compatible avec la plupart des marques d'appareil photo, j'ai un Olympus et aucun souci pour le fixer sur la griffe.J'apprécie le fait qu'il soit rechargeable et pas à piles, le câble USB est livré avec et la charge est assez rapide. Côté endurance je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de shooter toute une journée en ayant besoin du flash mais j'ai du au moins faire une centaine de photos avec et il tient bien la charge.On peut le régler en mode manuel ou automatique, pour ma part pour le moment je ne l'ai utilisé qu'en mode auto mais quand je serai plus au point je passerai certainement en mode manuel qui permet plus de créativité et de faire correspondre une ambiance lumineuse au style de photo recherchée.Le prix peut sembler élevé mais je pense qu'on paye le style du flash, ceci dit pour tout le reste la qualité est très bonne et les possibilités de réglages sont supers, il n'est pas très lourd non plus.Je suis donc satisfait de ce produit malgré le prix un peu élevé.

It's lightweight, made of plastic, but it's fun! Direct flash, so you're almost always going to get that "look" but if you dial in the power and shoot in full manual ( with manual ISO ) you can get a great look to your photos.Honestly, it being full manual doesn't bother me all that much, TTL is cool but I almost always end up tweaking the compensation on TTL flashes anyway, so a touch extra work to get the camera settings aligned as well doesn't bother me.Optical slave modes also works!It's not a super high output flash and the recycle time definitely slows down a bit at the higher outputs, not too big of a deal unless you're trying to add fill flash in daylight conditions.Battery seems to last a long time, but I haven't exactly been trying to do event photography with it. I wouldn't hesitate to try it at a short event, but you may want to have something with replaceable batteries, and if it's a professional shoot, always have a reliable backup to your main rig.Bought mostly to go with the retro silver Olympus E-M5 Mark III I have, but found it works just as well on my Sony A7C, A7R IV, and A6600 cameras, as well as a friend's Nikon D5600. To my surprise, the silver doesn't even look that out of place on a black camera body either.It doesn't quite reach 5 stars for me because the battery is integrated and the build quality isn't quite as high as I'd expect for the price. If this was $65 it'd be a full five stars as is. But at $100? Well, it's okay and great if you're going for an aesthetic, but if you just want a good flash there are other more competitive options that give you more features and are more robust. ( Albeit, without the classic look )
