Altura Photo Camera Flash
Score: 80/100Rankings
The Altura AP-UNV2 is an affordable speedlite with a strong 68 m guide number and a feature-rich LCD interface. Its main trade-offs are slower recycle with alkaline batteries and limited high-speed sync capability. Best suited for beginner to intermediate Nikon shooters who need portable power without the cost of OEM units.
The Godox TT600 is a manual speedlite with a powerful GN60 output, built-in wireless X control and high-speed sync. Its drawbacks are the lack of TTL, reliance on AA batteries, and a limited tilt range without full head swivel. It suits budget-conscious photographers needing wireless multi-flash setups and HSS.
