With my Canon 5D Mark IV, I use a flash on the body a lot. I don't like that straight on flash look but I am able to bounce it against the wall or the ceiling and it doesn't have that flash look. I live in an older dark house and like to take photos of my cats. I can get amazingly sharp photos at ISO 100 and ISO 200 with just once flash bounced.
Sometimes I'm in situations where taking my camera isn't ideal and I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max. I would love to have an off camera flash for it so I could do the same thing with it.
I bought a Joby LED light that said it was as powerful as a flash, it has flash mode, it syncs just like I want it to and it fires right when I hit the shutter. However, leaving it on continuous lighting you can see how bright it goes, and it is a bright light, but it is not as bright as a real flash and I paid 100 dollars for that thing.
I'm not saying it has to be as good as my Canon flash's but I'd like something halfway decent and since Ive spent 100 dollars already on something that effectively has just turned into a flash light, I don't want to risk it again without someone knowing something about this issue.
Is there a way to get Canon flash's to sync? If not, what flash's are actually powerful like real flash's?
