Godox TT350S review by Denver wedding photographer Nick Sparks. 

I don’t use much flash these days, but the Godox TT350S is by far my favorite flash for the Sony system. Whether you are shooting an a7 iii, a7riii, or a9–this flash is awesome! Heres why. 

Great TTL

TTL (automatic setting) is essential if you are working events. People move back and forth too quickly to make manual adjustments based on how far away they are from the flash.  I had a bad time using ETTL/TLL functions on certain 3rd party flash systems before I found the Godox TT350S. Pictures would come out under or over exposed frequently. The TT350S hits a nice middle exposure with ease, which is my preferred flash exposure. I can always batch process my photos in Lightroom to make them a little brighter if I want. The important thing is that they are all in the same exposure range. 

Wireless

The wireless transmission of this flash comes in handy if you want to use one (or two) off camera. The TT350S allows for slave/master function, and you can even turn off the flash function of the one on camera. The features are relatively easy to navigate too. 

Two Batteries

It’s really nice that this flash only uses two batteries. My wedding photography kit is a little smaller, since I don’t have to haul around quite so many extra AA’s. 

Lightweight

This flash is about half the weight as a regular sized flash. Of course, it means that it has less power, but I haven’t found it to be an issue with the great high ISO performance of the Sony iii series cameras. You can boost your ISO instead of turning your flash up–it usually makes for better pictures anyway. Having a lightweight flash on a mirrorless camera is really nice, because if you start adding big accessories it starts to feel like you are shooting a DSLR again. 

Well, this was a little bit of a short one, but all these things I mentioned are what matters to me most in a flash system in 2019! 

I think I had a little too much fun this wedding season using the Godox TT350S at receptions. 

Here’s to making receptions a little easier to work with a cheap, lightweight, reliable flash!

Wedding Photography Gear in Real Wedding Conditions 

I originally wrote this Godox TT350S review from the perspective of working real wedding days, where a flash needs to be small, reliable, and quick enough for receptions, getting-ready rooms, and fast-moving candid moments. As a Colorado wedding photographer, I care less about gear specs on paper and more about whether a camera or flash helps me stay focused on the day as it naturally unfolds.

You can see more of that work in my Colorado wedding photography portfolio, browse featured weddings, or explore Colorado wedding photography pricing for wedding, elopement, and portrait coverage.

I also wrote a full Sony a7III review from the perspective of real wedding use, covering autofocus, low-light performance, image quality, shutter life, and why the camera worked so well for weddings.
