Interpretation:

This flash is compact, lightweight, and ideal for vlogging, casual photography, or use with wide-angle or mirrorless setups.

With GN12, it's on the lower-power side, suitable for short-range or fill-light scenarios.

The wide 170° angle and rear power range control give you flexibility for creative lighting.

USB-C charging and a built-in battery make it travel-friendly and modern.

The Red Buffalo SL120 mini camera flash should work with most cameras that meet two basic conditions:

1. Standard Hot Shoe Mount

If your camera has a standard ISO hot shoe (the usual metal mount on top of the camera), the SL120 is likely compatible.

Common brands with standard hot shoes:

Canon (DSLR & mirrorless, except older Speedlite-specific models)

Nikon

Sony (Only if it supports Multi Interface Shoe or with adapter)

Fujifilm

Panasonic Lumix

Olympus / OM System

Leica (certain models)

2. Manual Flash Operation

The SL120 likely operates in manual mode only — meaning:

No TTL (Through-The-Lens) automatic flash metering

You set the flash power manually (from 1/1 to 1/128)

Flash trigger is probably via basic single pin on the hot shoe

So it won’t support TTL-specific functions like:

Auto exposure flash

High-speed sync beyond 1/250s (unless specifically stated)

Camera menu integration

Special Notes for Some Brands:

Sony Users: Older Sony cameras use a proprietary hot shoe. Make sure your camera has a Multi Interface Shoe, or use an adapter like the Sony ADP-MAA.

Canon (older) and Nikon (pro) users: TTL flashes from your brand might not be fully compatible with third-party manual flashes unless they’re specifically designed for them.
