Looking for the smallest possible flashgun that offers bounce; Think the built in bounce flash on the Digilux 3, Nikon V3 etc;

I know nothing that small would be available for my R5, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of the best? I don't care what brand; narrowed down so far to;

Canon 270 EX2

Metz M400

Any other brands that are smaller at all? Just for travel and walk abouts with the R5 and 24-240 - performance and tech specs are not a priority
 
Godox 350 - comes in two versions, the TT350C and V350C (https://www.godox.com/camera-flash/)

They are very similar, the TT uses 2 AA batteries (and is cheaper), while the V uses a specific Li-Ion battery (slightly improved recycle time, and more shots before changing / charging battery)

I have the Sony version of the MK-320 mentioned above - it's a nice little flash, but for me the advantages of the Godox 'system' (built in wireless trigger / receiver compatible with all other Godox flash and strobes) means I'd buy the Godox if getting one now (it wasn't released when I bought my Meike).

For a 'real' warranty, get from Essential Photo (EG V350 rebranded https://www.essentialphoto.co.uk/pr...-in-2-point-4ghz-receiver-and-high-speed-sync), or Lencarta (V350 https://www.lencarta.com/godox-v350-speedlight, TT350 https://www.lencarta.com/godox-tt350-speedlight)

^^ this, I've got a few Godox TT350's and they are small have full tilt/rotate on the head and compatible with the rest of the Godox 2.4GHz system. Only drawback is the GN is 30, as opposed to 60 or more for bigger guns. That said I often use the bigger guns at half power or less so nothing lost, a TT350 on full power = TT685 on half power. Also worth noting that I've had well over 100 full power flashes off 2 AA rechargeables in the TT350
 
This is terrific guy - thanks very much for this, hugely appreciated!

I was just about to pull the trigger on the Meike, but that looks like it will do the job for around 45 less! So if you're sure you don't want to keep it, yes I'd be very happy with that!
 
No I don't have any more Canon gear so I want dont to keep it and it does not work with my Fuji so you are welcome to it.

PM me your address and I will post it.
