Viltrox Vintage Z1 Flash Pro Sony

Viltrox Vintage Z1 Flash Pro Sony

The Vintage Z1 Pro combines a matt silver metal housing with a litchi-grain leather detail and a mechanical rotary dial, inspired by classic flashes from the analogue era. Beneath that vintage exterior, however, lies a fully digital interior with a round touchscreen that lets you switch between flash modes in just a few taps.

Measuring just 6.9 x 5 x 7.3 cm and weighing approximately 136 grams, the Vintage Z1 Pro fits in a jacket pocket or camera bag. This means you always have it to hand for reportage, street photography, or as a fill flash on the go, without unnecessarily disrupting the look of your camera.

The flash supports high-speed sync up to 1/8000 of a second, allowing you to shoot with a wide aperture even in bright sunlight without an underexposed background. The single-contact hot shoe communication also makes the Vintage Z1 Pro compatible with Canon, Sony, Nikon, and Fuji bodies — this Sony variant is optimised for Sony cameras.

In addition to TTL (A) and manual mode, the Vintage Z1 Pro features an S1 mode (synchronously triggered via another flash) and S2 mode (pre-flash suppression). This means you can also use it as a slave flash in a multi-flash setup, including in combination with cameras that use a pre-flash.

The recycle time of 0.2 to 1 second ensures you can keep shooting at a steady pace. No more missed moments while waiting for the flash to recharge. Ideal for events, portraits, and street photography where timing is everything.
