Review: Viltrox Vintage Z2 TTL for Canon Cameras Adds a Small Burst of Light to Your Travel Kit

May 5, 2026 Alberto Lima

Recently, I’ve been thinking about how few cameras have an included flash when purchased. Few still have the luxury of some kind of pop-up flash on the camera itself. It’s a feature that is typically relegated to entry-level cameras or point-and-shoot cameras (now possibly only “scameras” you find on places like AliExpress or Temu). It’s a shame because what if you’re not a pro and you’re not looking to literally cancel out daylight? Viltrox’s new Vintage Z2 TTL Flash might just be the answer.

That’s where the Godox X3 Pro flash trigger comes in: priced around $100 USD, it lets you pair various Godox flashguns and strobes with your camera system. But does it skimp on functionality?



The New Godox AD100Pro II: Focus on Power and Portability

Jan 23, 2026 Alberto Lima

For photographers who split their time between a studio and the unpredictable world of on-location shooting, the “perfect” light is often a moving target. You need something powerful enough to shape your subject, but small enough that you don’t need a Sherpa to carry it. Godox originally answered this call with the AD100Pro, and now, they’ve refined that formula with the AD100Pro II.
