Metz 40-MZ 3 Strobe
The Metz MECABLITZ 40 MZ-3i is one of my favorite small flashes to use for off-camera shooting. It has a unique body design with the flash head pointing along the axis of the camera lens, which makes it perfect for mounting on a light stand and shooting into a softbox or umbrella as it’s then more centered along the axis of the light modifier.
