Viltrox Vintage Z2

Viltrox launched the Vintage Z2 TTL, an ultra-compact on-camera flash. The pocket-sized flash weighs 52g. The flash folds down, while still attached, for streamlined mobility and storage. Whether folded or extended, the Z2 maintains smooth visual continuity with the camera, appearing as a natural extension of the camera body. The Vintage Z2 TTL has an MSRP of $35.99 / €36.99 / £31.99.

Instant response TTL Mode uses real-time metering to automatically adjust flash output for naturally balanced exposures. For creators needing more deliberate control, Manual mode provides five levels of precise power adjustment from 1/1 to 1/16, enabling consistent results in controlled environments.

The Vintage Z2 TTL keeps pace with fast-moving assignments, delivering up to 700 full-power flashes on a single charge of its 420mAh battery. A two-second recycle time ensures the flash is ready for rapid consecutive shots. Dedicated hot shoe versions of the Vintage Z2 for Sony, Nikon, Fujifilm, and Canon systems ensure optimized TTL flash performance across all major platforms. For other cameras with a standard hot shoe, the Z2 remains fully functional in Manual mode. The integrated rechargeable battery is charged via USB Type-C, reaching full charge in about 70 minutes.

The Viltrox Vintage Z2 TTL On-Camera Flash is available for two mounting systems. The Sony version measures 66.7×38.5×33.4 mm, while the Canon, Nikon, and Fujifilm versions measure 64.6×38.5×33.4 mm.

The quick-mount hot shoe allows instant attachment and firm locking, making it the most efficient lighting tool for the modern, mobile photographer who will not compromise performance for portability.
