I recently purchased the Sony a7 IV mirrorless camera and am looking for recommendations for a good external flash unit to pair with it. I'd like something powerful enough for indoor events/portraits as well as the ability to bounce the flash. I'm also interested in something that can work as a master to control off-camera flashes if I decide to expand my lighting setup later.
Any suggestions from current Sony a7 IV owners? What flash units have you found work well with this camera? I'd appreciate any insights into the top options to consider.
The recently released Godox V1Pro is a great choice for both price and lightweight
If you are looking for a high-end professional flash light, the Profoto a10 is the best choice I think.
I highly recommend the Sony HVL-F60RM2 flash. It's a powerful unit with a guide number of 60 meters at ISO 100, which is more than enough power for most situations. It has a versatile bounce/swivel head, making it easy to achieve different lighting angles. Plus, it can act as a wireless commander to control off-camera flashes, so it has the expandability you're looking for. It's also optimized to work seamlessly with Sony's metering system.

Yes, I bought this several weeks ago, easy to use and stable.
Anyone use Profoto A10 on a7IV, do the price worth it ?
