I was sent the Godox iA32 Mini Flash for review. I wasn’t expecting much as it was such a small unit with a relatively low guide number. This can come in handy. These are my thoughts. Godox iA32 Mini Flash — Technical Specs Godox iA32 Mini Flash — Power The IA32 takes two AA batteries. You’ll need to make sure you have some on hand as they are not included. Recycle time at full power is about two and a half seconds with fully charged batteries. Recycle time becomes quicker if the unit is powered down. Godox iA32 Mini Flash — In use This little unit is a handy flash to have in your camera bag… Just in case. It is about the size of the palm of my hand. Obviously, when mounted on the camera it is a small light source which can leave sharp shadows when pointed straight ahead. But you are not limited to that. The flash has in interior flip. It can be pointed from minus seven degrees to 90 degrees. Bouncing the light from the ceiling or a wall close-by can spread the light for pleasing shadow edge transitions. I like the design so there is no flip as with most speed lights. If walls and ceilings are too far away you can add a small scrim or reflector to bounce the light. If you are on a real tight budget you can even use a piece of foam core or a white card to bounce the light. Godox iA32 Mini Flash — Who is this for? Some of the newer rangefinder and compact style cameras are coming out without auxiliary flash. This is a single pin flash. It is compatible with almost all camera models. Since this has a remote sensor it can also be used as a small fill or rim light. This flash works for photographers creating environmental portraits or smaller-scale product photography shoots. This is not for someone who needs lots of repetitive flashes in quick succession. As the Guide Number is only 15 at ISO 100 there’s not a ton of light generated. If you are doing some small product photography or slow moving hard and shoulders portrait sessions it can be a big help. Yours in Creative Photography, Bob
