Meike Speedlite MK-930 II

The Meike MK-930 II is an analogue of the inexpensive Yongnuo YN-560 II flash, which has gained popularity among the most diverse audience. But note that the model is completely manual — the ability to measure exposure by the amount of light that passes through the camera lens, as well as remote control of flash settings are not among the functions it supports.

Manual control

The flash supports four modes of operation: M — manual power setting within 1-1/128 s (in 1/3 EV increments), Multi — strobe mode (feeding several pulses with partial power), S1 and S2 — operation in slave flash mode(When S2 is selected, the flash model skips the evaluation flash of the TTL master flash and fires from its main flash.) In case of overheating Meike MK-930 II automatically stops its work, which allows you to keep its performance in the future.

Reliability

The flash is attached to the "carcass" of the camera by means of a metal hot shoe with a fixing washer. On the one hand, the washer makes it take longer to fiddle with the removal and installation of the flash, and on the other hand, it is a more reliable method of fastening. The head of the model can rotate within 270° horizontally and tilt from -7° to 90° vertically. The swivel design inspires confidence.

Informative display

Setting the parameters of the flash is carried out with the help of several keys on its body, above which is an informative display with a pleasant blue backlight. Information from it is easy to read both in the dark and in the bright sun, which is facilitated by the high contrast of the screen. Taking into account the fact that you will have to navigate the shooting process exclusively by the display (the model does not exchange any data with the camera), its good readability is a plus for the Meike MK-930 II. In addition, the positive aspects of the flash are compatibility with all major systems and low cost.
