Canon Speedlite 430EX II

Canon Speedlite 430EX II is a Canon shoe-mount flash with E-TTL II, wireless slave support and high-speed sync. It sits in Canon’s mid-range Speedlite line, offering a useful step up from basic entry-level flash units without the size and complexity of the flagship models. The 430EX II has a compact, well-finished body, quicker and quieter recycling than the original 430EX, and a simple control layout that makes it easy to use on-camera or as an optical slave in Canon’s wireless system. Its head tilts and swivels for bounce flash, which is one of its main strengths for portraits, events and general fill light. Power comes from four AA batteries, so running costs are low and spare cells are easy to source. Used buyers should check that the hot shoe foot locks securely, the flash head moves smoothly through its tilt and swivel range, the LCD and buttons work properly, and the battery compartment contacts are clean and corrosion-free. Also verify that the test flash fires reliably and that the unit recycles at a sensible speed with fresh batteries, as ageing capacitor health can affect performance.
