Anyone seen this yet? It's pretty weak, but may be just enough to let me grab a snapshot indoors when ambient light isn't sufficient. It's also tiny enough to fit in my pocket when I don't need it. USB-C charging is a neat innovation. The only thing it's missing is a PC sync port so I can use it with my older cameras.

GN is 2/3 of that on my OM-1 M43 digital and I find it more than adequate for outdoor fill or snapshots indoors, so this little flash should suffice. $45 is cheap enough to gamble.

I really like the size of the Reflx mini flash, but indeed the output power is puny.

So far my tiny flash collection includes the following, but none of them is really as small.
- Nikon SB30
- Holga mini flash
- Metz 34 CS-2

Guide Number 5?

A flash cube that might be used on 16mm Minolta or Minox LX has a Guide Number of 80!

Since posting this back in November I've seen some pictures online showing how weak this flash is. Really a bummer because I thought it would be ideal for indoor use where I might need a little more light than ambient, but I think it's too weak even for that.
