Godox GN33
Score: 68/100
Meike MK430N
Score: 73/100Rankings
The Meike MK-430N is a compact TTL speedlite providing a 36 m guide number, built-in LCD and wireless slave capability for Nikon and Canon shooters. Its modest power, relatively slow recycle time and uncertain HSS support may restrict fast-action or high-power scenarios. Ideal for hobbyists seeking an affordable on-camera flash with TTL and wireless features.
The Godox TT520III provides an affordable, compact flash with 33 m guide number and built-in 433 MHz wireless triggering. It lacks TTL, high-speed sync and a built-in diffuser, limiting its use for advanced lighting setups. Suited for budget-conscious DSLR shooters needing a portable fill flash and basic wireless capability.

Professional reviewers note that the Meike MK-430N offers solid specifications for its class, delivering reliable TTL performance, a useful LCD panel, and decent wireless range, but they caution buyers to verify version-specific features such as high-speed sync and to be aware of possible configuration differences.
