Neewer TT560
Score: 70/100
Godox iM30
Score: 68/100Rankings
The Neewer TT560 is an affordable, manual-control speedlite with a solid GN38, fast low-power recycle and useful overheat protection, but it lacks TTL, HSS and built-in wireless features.
The Godox iM30 is an ultra-compact manual speedlight powered by two AAA cells, offering basic flash functionality and optical slave modes. Its portability is offset by low power, no TTL/HSS, and a fixed head, making it suited for casual or travel use rather than demanding studio work.

Professional reviewers praise the TT560 as a fantastic entry-level flash that is beginner-friendly, highly functional, and reliable in optical slave mode, while noting the lack of TTL and HSS as drawbacks for advanced work.
Everyday users highlight the flash's excellent value, reliable S1 optical slave, and lightweight build, but complain about incompatibility with some newer Canon bodies and occasional triggering issues.
Professional reviewers commend the iM30 for its nostalgic retro styling, ultra-compact form factor, and intuitive tactile dial, but stress its low guide number, lack of bounce/swivel, and absence of TTL/HSS for demanding work.
Everyday users love the tiny size, vintage look, and AAA convenience, but are frustrated by the missing battery indicator, slower recycle, and harsh light from the fixed head.
