The NEEWER Z1-C TTL Round Head Speedlite for Canon is built for photographers who want softer, more natural flash results without slowing down their workflow. Thanks to its round Fresnel flash head and included magnetic dome diffuser, this speedlite delivers smooth light falloff, reduced harsh shadows, and a far more flattering look than traditional rectangular flashes.
Whether you shoot portraits, weddings, events, lifestyle or editorial work, the Z1-C offers reliable performance with studio inspired light quality in a portable on camera flash.
Soft, Even Light with Round Head Design
At the heart of the Z1-C is a circular Fresnel flash head, which spreads light evenly from centre to edge. This creates a softer transition and more natural highlights, particularly when bouncing flash indoors or working close to your subject.
Colour temperature remains stable at 5600K ±200K, ensuring consistent colour across long shoots. The zoom head covers 28–105mm and can be adjusted automatically or manually to suit your lens and shooting style.
Magnetic Dome Diffuser Included
The included magnetic dome diffuser instantly softens and broadens the light output, making it ideal for portraits, group shots, and close range work. It reduces harsh contrast and helps eliminate sharp shadows, especially useful when shooting events or indoor scenes with low ceilings.
The magnetic mounting system allows quick attachment and removal without slowing you down mid shoot.
76Ws Output with Full TTL and HSS Support
With a 76Ws output, the Z1-C delivers plenty of power for both on camera and off camera use. It supports:
TTL auto flash
Manual flash
Stroboscopic flash
Optical slave modes S1 and S2
High Speed Sync up to 1/8000s
First and second curtain sync
Advanced exposure tools such as FEC, FEB and FEL give you precise control when lighting conditions change quickly.
Built In LED Modelling Lamp
A 2W LED modelling lamp with 10 brightness levels allows you to preview lighting direction and shadow placement before firing the flash. This is especially useful for portraits, close up work, and off camera lighting setups where accuracy matters.
It can also act as a subtle continuous fill light in darker environments.
Fast Recycling and Long Battery Life
Powered by a 7.4V 2600mAh lithium battery, the Z1-C delivers up to 480 full power flashes on a single charge. Recycle time is approximately 1.5 seconds, ensuring the flash keeps up with fast paced shooting such as weddings and events.
Flash duration ranges from 1/180s to 1/20000s, allowing you to freeze motion or control ambient light with precision.
Flexible Bounce and Head Movement
The flash head rotates 0° to 330° horizontally and tilts -7° to 120° vertically, giving excellent flexibility for bounce flash and creative angles. This makes it easy to work in tight spaces and achieve soft directional light without additional modifiers.
2.4G Wireless Q System
The built in 2.4G Wireless Q system supports:
4 groups (A B C D)
32 channels
99 wireless IDs
The Z1-C can operate as a master or slave flash with a wireless range of up to 100 metres in open conditions. Output remains stable and consistent across multi flash setups. USB firmware updates are supported to keep the flash current.
Accessory Compatibility and Expansion
The Z1-C works with a wide range of modifiers and mounts, including:
Magnetic dome diffuser (included)
GM-M1
CR-M2
AK-R1 kits
