Photoolex FK310
Score: 78/100
Neewer Z120 SE
Score: 41/100Rankings
The Photoolex FK310 LCD Speedlite adds an LCD panel and a rich accessory set to the solid GN33, 22-level manual flash platform, but it still lacks TTL and high-speed sync.
The Neewer Z120 SE is a compact, battery-powered mini flash offering GN12 output, fast recycle and optical slave modes, ideal for vloggers and travel shooters. Its lack of TTL, HSS and head movement keep it from professional event or sports work.
