Hello, all!

I'm in the market for a good external flash for my GH4. I know Panasonic has some, like this one:

I'm curious if any of you have used it, or if there are other, better flashes out there for use with the GH4. I'm mostly a video person, but sometimes I have to do event photography, and the built-in flash just doesn't cut it. Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Get the most powerful flash you can. That'll be the Olympus FL50R or the Panasonic equivalent. You might want to see if there's a Metz or other third party equivalent. Basically look for the largest GN and shortest recycling time. Make sure GN numbers are all standardised when you're doing your comparing, eg ISO 100 at 35mm zoom setting.

The above YongNuo is a manual flash, no TTL. Also there's a III out, which I'd recommend over the II, which was less reliable.
