I have transitioned to a Sony A6400 and am looking for a compact flash that will bounce. Using mainly indoors for parties, holidays, and family gatherings. Will have the Sigma 30mm 1.4 mounted on it most of the time for these occasions.

Would appreciate input from any current user with similar system.

Thanks

Look at the Godex flashes on Amazon.

Still using a vivitar 285. Nice ones sell for pocket lint. Bounce, manual zoom, very simple automatic operation.

Downside is you set your own synch speed ... or else !

I have the Godex TT685 for my A6000 and A7Riii. Works great. Has the same functionality as the much pricier Sony flashes.

I have this for the A6000. Light, compact, not too pricey and it will zoom and bounce. Only weighs 4 oz.https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/925703-REG/sony_hvl_f20m_external_flash.htmlunce.

I picked up a Meke MK320 on Amazon for $70 for when I didn't need a larger flash. It will fit in a 5x2.5x1.5 box and comes with a diffuser and storage bag.

I use the Sony HVL-F20M
Inexpensive and very easy to use
Good luck!

Does the HVL-F20M twist to bounce left/right?

I have a Vivitar 283. It's high voltage at the hot shoe and I was told not to use it on my Sony A77 ii. I do use it as a slave with photo sensor to trigger it. Not sure if the A6400 can handle the voltage so I would recommend to check it out. My $.02

Thanks all for the suggestions. I can Google search all day but, for me, there is nothing better than the experience and help on this forum.
