IMy inventory includes several Godox products, including much more powerful flash units, and I am a great fan of their products. I at first dismissed this item as being small and unproductive besides not allowing me much control as to the output. On second look, I decided it may, in fact, be just what I needed because of those concerns. I photograph lots of classic cars. I am able to place this small unit in very tight and even hidden areas under the dash, within the engine recesses, etc. and, with very simple remote control, create just the level of extra light I need to create some amazing photos. This goes everywhere with me and I use it often. Godox quality construction and use of fine materials has once again created a fine product.

I ordered the Godox iM30 flash thru the Amazon Vine program to test out and review. These are my honest thoughts about the product. I am a hobbyist photographer who has been interested in learning how to incorporate flash into outdoor portraiture by using a "manual" old-school flash as opposed to a Speedlight which enables you to shoot with a faster shutter speed. My plan is to use ND filters and measure to ambient background light, and use the flash to illuminate the subject thus preventing a washed out background and a sharp portrait at the same time. A simple technique which creates dramatic portraits. I also wanted something small I can carry in my camera bag on the go. The Godox iM30 is the cheapest flash in the Godox line of flashes and certainly the smallest. It is 100% a manual flash. It can also be used as a "slave" flash which will detect another flash and fire simultaneously however I didn't test that. The IM30 arrived quickly and was packaged extremely well. Although small it feels like a very well built product. It includes several diffusers in various tints. It runs off 2 AAA batteries (not included) and power lasts a very long time. The battery cover is attached to the flash by a small rubber band to minimize the chance of losing it which is nice. Setting the power is done using a scroll wheel located on the top of the unit. Of course this flash can also be used to illuminate dark environments, and sans a diffuser you can achieve an old school "paparazzi" washed out effect if that is what you are after. It is compatible with any camera with a hot shoe, I tested mine with my Sony a7iii. However, any brand camera should work provided it has a hot shoe which can "communicate" with the unit. One drawback is the flash cannot be pointed in different directions so you would not be able to bounce it off a wall or ceiling to achieve a more diffused look. It is permanently facing forward just above your camera lens. You can adjust your camera settings with this flash and achieve a slow sync blur effect as well if that is your desired look. All in all at it's price point, and given it's build quality, portability, low power consumption, and recycling speed this is an exceptional little flash which should belong in every camera bag.

I have a bigger diffuser and flash that I use for events but I wanted something that was more portable and would just kind of fit in my bag and go. Got this today and immediately put it on to try it out. I've got a Canon and it worked perfectly fine with it. Not as strong as the flash as my big one but I wasn't expecting it to be. I do like the diffuser. It works perfectly fine and was what I was looking for.
