UK version of Godox AD200 (Pika200)
Flash is 3x more powerful than my Nikon SB910, refreshes quicker and has option to fit a bare bulb which helps with flash modifiers fitted to an s type Bowen’s bracket. Robust, great barn door/filter kit and very good price.

PiXAPRO® PIKA200 Portable Battery Powered TTL Mini Flash
I bought this from Essential Photo instead of Ebay to ensure a UK warranty and customer service. The flash was chosen due to its power size and the fact it has the dual head system. I used it on a shoot of my dog Indi a GSD with the evening sun as a rim light. The PIKA200 easily filled the light in against the sun So far i love it
