Viltrox Launches the Vintage Z1 Pro Retro-Inspired Compact Flash
Pocketable, Lightweight, with TTL, High-Speed Sync, and a Circular Color Touchscreen Interface
Viltrox today announced the launch of its Vintage Z1 Pro, a retro-inspired compact flash. Embracing the signature vintage styling of the original Vintage Z1, the new Z1 Pro introduces TTL automatic flash metering and High-Speed Sync (HSS) functionality, delivering enhanced performance and creative flexibility in a highly portable form factor.
The Vintage Z1 Pro is designed as an accessible solution for beginners while also supporting more advanced creative applications, including street photography, portraiture, travel, and everyday content creation.
TTL Automatic Flash Metering and New High-Speed Sync
The Vintage Z1 Pro is the first in the series to include High-Speed Sync (HSS) functionality up to 1/8000s, enabling photographers to shoot in bright daylight with wider apertures and capture fast-moving subjects in natural ambient conditions.
TTL flash metering automatically adjusts flash output based on ambient lighting conditions. The Vintage Z1 Pro supports two optical trigger modes: S1 mode, which triggers simultaneously when another flash burst is detected, and S2 mode, which ignores TTL pre-flashes and triggers on the primary flash burst, enabling flexible multi-light arrangements and off-camera flash setups.
Intuitive Circular Color Touchscreen
The Vintage Z1 Pro features a newly integrated circular color touchscreen UI designed to simplify workflows. The display provides clear access to flash output levels, shooting modes, battery status, and sync settings, while touch-based controls enable faster and more intuitive adjustments compared to traditional button-operated interfaces.
High-Speed, High-Performance Flash
The Vintage Z1 Pro delivers 24Ws flash output with a 1-second recycle time. The high-capacity battery supports up to 350 full-power flashes per charge, helping creators maintain a smooth shooting rhythm. Integrated USB-C charging allows the flash to fit conveniently into modern loadouts, with a full recharge taking just 70 minutes.
Broad Camera Compatibility
The Vintage Z1 Pro supports Sony, Nikon, Canon, and Fujifilm camera systems (hot shoe versions) across a wide range of mainstream cameras.
The Diversity of Style in Viltrox’s Flash Series
With the launch of the Vintage Z1 Pro, Viltrox continues to expand its flash lineup, offering creators a broader range of lighting solutions across different shooting styles, creative preferences, and performance needs.
From the retro-inspired Vintage Series, including the Vintage Z1 and Z2, to the cyberpunk-styled Spark Series represented by the Spark Z3, the Viltrox flash lineup is designed to provide flexible and accessible lighting tools for photographers and content creators across a wide range of creative scenarios.
