A shoe mount flash is a small flash unit that is attached to the hot shoe of a camera. The hot shoe is the metal bracket found on the top of most DSLR cameras, and it is used to attach external flashes and other accessories. Shoe mount flashes are typically small and lightweight, making them easy to carry around with you.

There are several benefits of having a shoe mount flash. First, they provide extra light when you need it. Second, they can help you take better photos in low-light situations. Third, they allow you to take photos of your friends and family without having to ask someone else to take the photo for you.

There are a few things you should consider before purchasing a shoe mount flash. First, think about what kind of photos you want to take. If you plan on taking mostly close-ups or selfies, then you will want a flash with a wide angle lens.

Second, consider the power of the flash. If you plan on using it in low-light situations, you will want one that has a high power rating. Third, think about the features you need. Some flashes have built-in bounce cards and diffusers, which can help you take better photos.
