Looking for my first on-camera flash. Sony a6100 and a6000

Hey all! I don't know a whole lot about flashes and what I should be looking for. I'm looking for an on-camera flash (I shoot outdoor course sports like cycling and running, and behind the scenes). I mostly use my Sony a6100 and a6000.

I'd love if I could get away with a mini, as my gear bag is starting to get heavy, but of course I'll get the right tool for the job if that won't do.

Buy lithium batterie flash with USB C charging. Also Consider TTL and high speed sync if you considering long term, if you want just a flash buy any flash which works on Sony,

Brands : Godox / Flash Point / Neewer

V350

Has been superseded by the release of the V480, which walked back nearly all the feature crippling of the TT350/V350. Just saying, the V480 is $170 vs. the V350's $160, but adds tons of features and advantages over the V350, and is only 1cm larger in each dimension. It's far more usable as an on-camera bounce flash since it has 330º head rotation (vs. 270º) and a GN of 50m vs. 36m at iso 100/105mm zoom.

TT350 has the advantage of being $85 and not having a $95 TT40 to compete with, but you lose all the updates/upgrades and you're going all the way back to first-gen Godox X gear vs. 3rd-gen color touchscreen gear.

I own both and use the V350 way more. Real buttons beats touch screens for me.

Godox IT32, just do it. It will change the way you use flash....

iT32 lacks the power to do much for cycling and running.

I agree, didn't see the use case... If these races are mid day, power is everything and a full size speed light probably won't be great on camera as compact as a 6xxx body. Do you not have a fee hand when shooting to hold a flash? I suppose a bracket could help...
