SmallRig 5818 RS20 mini Speedlite Flash (Silver) – Palm-sized with 2000mAh USB-C Rechargeable Battery
The SmallRig 5818 RS20 mini Speedlite is a pocket-sized flash designed for easy portability and straightforward compatibility. It fits most mirrorless cameras that use a big center ISO contact in the hot shoe, and it weighs only 100g for comfortable, on-the-go use.
Key features and benefits
- Palm-sized and lightweight: At only 100g, you can carry it in a bag or pocket and add flash power without extra bulk.
- Higher output than built-in flashes: With a flash index of 12, it delivers stronger and more natural lighting than typical camera-mounted flashes.
- Fine power control: You get 8 stops of adjustment across 22 levels, from 1/1 to 1/128, so you can dial in the exact light you need for different scenes.
- Long-lasting, rechargeable battery: The built-in 2000mAh lithium battery supports USB-C charging for convenient recharges between shoots.
- Extended shot capacity: The battery supports up to 500 full-power flashes and up to 10,000 flashes at the longest endurance setting, enabling extended shooting sessions.
- Fast recycle times: Recycle time ranges from 0.1s to 1.8s, allowing for efficient continuous shooting when you need repeated bursts of light.
- Flexible triggering and control: The unit supports slave trigger mode and multiple flash configurations for creative lighting setups.
- Clear status display: An OLED screen gives quick access to brightness, battery life, and trigger mode information.
Compatibility
The RS20 uses a universal single-contact hot shoe design. As a result, it is compatible with cameras that feature a large central ISO contact in the hot shoe. Also note that the maximum shutter speed is approximately 1/250 s, which aligns with common flash-sync limits on many cameras.
