Outdated Product
A fairly advanced wireless flash for Sony cameras. It boasts a user-friendly display and an easy-to-use Quick Navi control system, dressed in a dust- and moisture-proof housing. At the same time, the leading number is an impressive 60, and the maximum illumination of the LED for video shooting is 1200 lux. We note the function of auto focus, a rotary head and the ability to control power. The kit includes a flash diffuser and a colour filter (3200K). Power is provided by four AA batteries.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Sony HVL-F60M flash is a versatile accessory compatible with Sony cameras, offering features like autofocus illumination, automatic and manual zoom, and slave mode. It boasts a guide number of 60, ensuring powerful lighting for both photography and video shooting. Users appreciate its fast charging, long battery life, and convenient menu, along with the flexibility provided by its rotary head. However, some users find it a bit heavy and large, especially for smaller cameras like the NEX-6. A significant concern is the weak shoe mount, which may not withstand the flash's weight, posing a risk of breakage during use. While it performs well for general use, professionals might find the mounting issue a limitation.

a model with serious flaws

In terms of professional use, it is categorically unsuitable and only for one reason -- the mount is too weak for such a heavy flash, and it breaks even with an uncareful turn of the "head" left to right. There is an option to replace the mount, on Ali for 6700 + labor.
