The NEEWER Z1-N is a powerful and versatile camera flash designed to deliver natural, high-quality lighting for both amateur and professional photographers. Featuring a circular Fresnel head, the Z1-N ensures an even light distribution with a soft falloff around the edges, ideal for producing flattering, natural-looking images. With a stable color temperature of 5600K (±200K), it offers consistent illumination across a range of shooting conditions. The flash zoom head covers a focal range of 28–105mm and can be set automatically or manually to suit your needs. A built-in 2W LED modeling lamp with 10 adjustable brightness levels (01–10) allows for precise control when previewing your lighting setup.
Engineered for advanced performance, the Z1-N delivers a powerful 76Ws output and supports TTL auto flash, manual flash, stroboscopic flash, and optical slave modes (S1/S2). High-speed sync up to 1/8000s, along with first and second curtain sync, provides photographers with excellent creative control. Additional features such as flash exposure compensation (FEC), flash exposure bracketing (FEB), and flash exposure lock (FEL) help fine-tune exposure in dynamic lighting situations.
The flash incorporates a built-in 2.4G Wireless Q system with 4 groups (M/A/B/C), 32 channels, and 99 IDs, ensuring reliable communication with compatible QPro-N TTL transmitters (sold separately). It functions as both a master and slave unit, supporting wireless flash triggering over distances up to 328 feet (100 meters) without obstacles. Its stable output and uniform light coverage expand creative possibilities in off-camera flash photography, and USB firmware updates allow ongoing performance enhancements.
Powering the Z1-N is a 7.4V 2600mAh lithium battery (NB-Z1), which provides up to 480 full-power flashes and features a fast 1.5-second recycling time. Flash durations range from 1/180s to 1/20000s, delivering excellent responsiveness for action shots and dynamic subjects. The flash head offers flexible bounce options, rotating horizontally from 0° to 330° and tilting vertically from -7° to 120°, making it highly adaptable to a variety of shooting angles and environments.
Included with the Z1-N is a magnetic dome diffuser that softens and spreads the light output to reduce harsh highlights and unwanted shadows. The flash is compatible with a range of accessories including the GM-M1, CR-M2, AK-R1 kits, S2-type and CRB1 mounts. It is designed specifically for Nikon cameras, supporting models such as the Z9, Z8, Zfc, Z6II, D750, D850, and many more, though it does not support the D810 (note: firmware upgrades may resolve compatibility issues). With its combination of cutting-edge features and wide compatibility, the NEEWER Z1-N is a reliable and feature-rich tool for serious flash photography.
