Canon Speedlite 430EX III-RT

Powerful, yet compact enough to take anywhere

A guide number of 43 (m, ISO100) means there’s enough power for most occasions.

The Speedlite 430EX III-RT weights just 295g and is only 113.8mm long, so there’ll always be room for it in your bag.

Powered by readily-available AA batteries, the flash recycles following a full-power flash in just 3.2s.

Simple controls and an intuitive interface

The controls on the Speedlite 430EX III-RT echo those of many EOS cameras. Shortcut controls give access to key features, and a control wheel allows quick adjustments to be made. A lock switch prevents settings from being changed accidentally. An LCD screen shows settings and shooting information at a glance, and is illuminated for low-light conditions.

Use remote flash to create the look you want

Speedlite 430EX III-RT flashes can also be placed away from the camera, to simulate light coming from different directions.

Using Radio frequency triggering, Speedlite 430EX III-RT units can be controlled from up to 30m away, and do not require direct line of sight with the camera. This means they can be situated in more places, letting you create even more moods and effects.

The Speedlite 430EX III-RT can also be remotely controlled with optical triggering, so it will fit in immediately with your existing flash set up. It can be fired from 10m away using the optional Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2 or the Integrated Speedlite Transmitter built in the some EOS cameras.

Use multiple flashes together in groups, controlling the power of each group separately. Up to five groups can be created, with a maximum of 15 flashes in each group.

  • Powerful, yet compact enough to take anywhere
  • Simple controls and an intuitive interface
  • Use remote flash to create the look you want
  • Shoot flattering portraits using bounced light
  • Integrates with other Speedlites as part of the EOS Family

    Blitz ist super .
    Aber ich hatte bei meiner alten Canon Eos 350 D einen Sigma Blitz mit dem ich sehr zufrieden wahr aber mit der Eos 90D nicht kombitabel ist . Und so musste ich einen neuen kaufen. so kann man auch Elektroschrott
    produzieren . Danke Cano

    Es lo que necesito. Como todo lo que he comprado de Canon, es lo que esperaba. Flash potente. Con calidad de acabado, marca de la casa.

    Sin duda, lo recomiendo.

    Leider stellte ich fest, an meiner Canon EOS R7 (vorher Canon EOS 700) funktionierte mein Blitzgert Neewer nicht sowie ein zum Test ausgeborgtes Metz Blitzgert. Laut Beschreibung war ein Adapter ntig, lange Lieferzeiten. Somit habe ich mich fr dieses Blitzgert von Canon entschieden und nicht den Kauf bereut. Die Zusammenarbeit mit Camara bei direkten/indirekten Blitzen sowie verschiedenen Verschlusszeiten funktioniert tadellos, keine unter/berbelichteten Bilder bei richtig eingestellter Iso.
    Einen Punkt Abzug gebe ich fr den notwendigen Adapter fr nicht Canon Blitzgerte bei der Canon R-Serie sowie den hohen Preis gegenber anderen Anbietern.

    Wanted to try and do some studio backgrounds using a flash.
    This did the job exactly as i wanted it to do.
    it seems a good accessory to have with my camera and has plenty of features on it that i find useful.
    especially the HSS.
    came with a lense defuser and filter.

    Purtroppo ancora non lo ho potuto provare sul campo in esterna dunque posso solamente parlare di ci che ho visto. Bel prodotto.. pesante il giusto ed apparentemente molto robusto! Lo sto affiancando ad uno yongnuo 600ex(tra l’ altro ottimo prodotto con qualche limite ma non mi ha abbandonato mai in 4 anni da quando lo ho comprato). Si collega inoltre, perfettamente al comando yn-e3-dt II, potendolo dunque settare comodamente dalla camera. Per ora mi ha dato grande sicurezza ed un buon feeling al tatto ma anche alla qualit in generale(facendo qualche scatto di prova). Acquisto che per ora rifarei!

    Canon always deliver the best products, a tad overpriced but at least you know you’ve got a product that will last. Used it on many party shoots. And received some awesome shots. The bounce card is a nice edition. Perfect and must have for photography. I own the canon EOS 77D and it fits perfectly. It also looks the part and is very impressive. I think my friend said my camera “looks like a gun now”

    This flash gun is exactly what I needed. Having struggled with flash photography I realised that I needed a dedicated flash for my camera to improve my images. The 430EX III-RT is light weigh easy to use off and off the camera and give correct levels of exposure when on TTL setting.

    Golden Review Award: 23 From Our UsersDas Speedlite kam wie immer gut verpackt und schnell.
    Es ist in seiner Originalverpackung super aufbewahrt.

    Mit dabei ist eine Tasche, der Standfu fr entkoppeltes Arbeiten, eine Diffusorkappe und ein Farbfilter (SCF-E2), der das Licht besser an die Farbgebung anpasst, die man in Innenrumen erwartet. Fr Filter und Diffusorkappe ist ein Sckchen mitgeliefert.

    Nun zu meiner Vorgeschichte, was Blitzgerte angeht:
    Ich habe ein Yongnuo YN-565 EXII. Das Gert funktioniert auch gut, tolle Blitzleistung, keine Frage.
    Aber: Das Canon Speedlite hat natrlich fr das Geld deutlich solidere und ausgefeiltere Elektronik drin.
    Der Yongnuo beansprucht die Batterien schon sehr stark. Diese werden beim Betrieb ordentlich warm. Beim Canon ist das berhaupt nicht der Fall. Man kann damit absolut super arbeiten.
    Das Canon Speedlite ist sofort nach dem Schuss wieder einsatzbereit, die Batterien werden nicht hei, das Gehuse ist super verarbeitet, die Tasten sind hochwertiger. Das Ding ist einfach zuverlssiger und vertrauenserweckender.
    Fr den Gebrauch im Studio, wo man nicht ganz so viele Schsse direkt nacheinander macht, ist das Yongnuo ganz ok, schon vor allem zu dem Preis. Aber im harten Einsatz braucht man was vernnftiges.

    Tipp:
    Ich habe mir das Gert im Zuge der Canon Cashback-Aktion Sommer 2018 gekauft.
    Das EXIII ist fr die Cashback-Aktion qualifiziert. Ich habe mir ein qualifiziertes Objektiv gekauft und die Aktion genutzt, dass man mehr bekommt, wenn man sich die Erstattung als Guthaben anrechnen lsst. Das funktioniert dann folgendermaen: Man kauft z.B. ein Objektiv, registriert dieses und gibt an, das Guthaben zu wollen, das hher ist als der direkte Cashback. Dann kauft man z.B. dieses Speedlite und registriert dies wieder. Diesmal gibt man an, dass man den Cashback nutzen mchte. So habe ich 240 Erstattung frs Objektiv und zustzlich 55 Erstattung fr das Speedlite bekommen. Das Blitzgert ist also geschenkt und man bekommt sogar noch was raus. Tolle Aktion von Canon!

    Wonderful liitle toy! Size is great so very portable and was easy to set up and link to transmitter, ordered another one already. 4 stars because is not as bright as I expected, but still it has a nice white light and comes with a plastic stand and a pouch, white difuser and amber colour filter that have their own pouch bag.

    Compact and powerful, it balances perfectly and gives superbly lit shots

    Easy to use and works perfectly in conjunction with my EOS camera.
    Small and light enough to carry around and nice bonus of diffuser and filters being included.
    The deciding factor was Canon’s rebate offer which made this not much more expensive than a clone Chinese model. Win Win.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis is my first external flash. I have been using my Canon DSLR for quite a few years now without (avoiding) using flash. I have added lenses and most other kit with success. Knowing that a proper flash is my next step I started reviewing the options. I don’t like buying budget as I end up buying twice. I want to buy right first time round and hope it’s affordable. I never want amateur but don’t have the skills for professional. Middling fits the bill. Buying Canon for Canon ensured compatability and nailed any brand build quality fears. Brands offer certainty but have a price premium. However within hours of opening the box and my first flash photo I’m completely over the cost as the results have blown me away.
    I spent last night experimenting. Set up my tripod in the conservatory and used a garden gargoyle for a willing subject. Auto mode is simple to use and I set this up. Using these constants and auto camera and flash let me angle/swlvvle the flash head at will making the best use of the shadows. The defusers soften the edges, removing harsh whites and give beautiful results. I am very pleased and cannot wait to experiment more. Getting lifelike colours & glare free pictures straight from the box was a big relief.
    I hate those washed out featureless red eyed faces that seem normal for inbuilt flashes. So far only aiming the flash directly at the subject does this.
    I have also had a mess about in none manual settings. There’s lot to learn but good results are immediate and are not over complicated to achieve. I think learning better techniques will be fun

    The build is excellent as is the in box kit. You just need to buy 4 x AA batteries. Happy days

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersIts a good spec flash, and it does what it should do. I bought the canon 430ex 3 as I have a yongnou but it will not work Ttl so went for this as it is the proper Canon flash, idealy matched to my 760d camera. So far it has performed well. It has good power output and can be angled to most positions. I have yet to use it off cam with remote but so far I am very happy with the quality and operation. Full manual and Ttl with a bounce card built in also a filter and pouch included.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersExcellent flash and especially for the price. I do a lot of event and nightclub photography and this flash has just made my life so much easier. Its small and compact but packs a huge punch and the build quality is top notch. Very easy to use, gorgeous bright display and its a very smart flash. Maybe im fangirling over this as its my first “proper” flash with AF-assist (nightclub work without this was hell) and ETTL (yes i used to use a manual flash with no af-assist in pitch-black nightclubs….Disaster).

    No matter what level of photography you are at this will definitely be one to have in your arsenal as its small, light(ish) and easy to use, and for beginners i recommend saving up for this rather than buying a cheap flash.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersGood price, quick delivery; very easy to set up and use, both on camera and off camera. The little reflector that can be raised to bounce the light onto the subject’s face works really well, as does the off camera flash; on that note however, be aware that it works through optical transmission; for any amateur that is fine; to get radio transmission working you would need a second similar flash, or a transmitter. That said, hardly necessary unless you’re trying some very professional flash set up (true for a Canon 70D).

    Golden Review Award: 19 From Our UsersI chose this model to use for wedding photography. It does everything and more than I need. The quick recycle on it is so fast it’s just silly. I can practically shoot at 3.9fps and it fires each time. I can get around 450 shots off 4AA batteries and then change to a new set, but I use it constantly at weddings. I own a 550d Canon cropped sensors and a 5d Mark ii full frame and it works brilliantly on both

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersPremetto subito che questa non sara’ una recensione completa nei minimi particolari, primis il fatto che sto imparando da pochissimo tempo a cercare di padroneggiare la cosi detta luce artificiale.

    Il modello che ho acquistato, ha la funzione anche di master per poter comandare altri flash a distanza, a differenza della versione non RT. Provando qualche scatto di prova, il flash dona una morbidezza INCREDIBILE alle mie immagini. La morbidezza che con il flash pop up integrato nella macchina fotografica non e’ in grado di donare, se non forse applicando qualche gelatina sopra. La parabola e’ possibile orientarla in svariate direzioni, dentro la confezione e’ presente il diffusore, il filtro arancione, utile per donare una luce flash piu’ ambientale e meno artificiale, e sopratutto e’ presente anche il fogliettino bianco estraibile per far rimbalzare la luce utilizzando la parabola verticale, domando un piacevole effetto negli occhi del soggetto. Devo ovviamente studiarlo ancora per bene, ma mi sento di consigliare al 100% questo prodotto. Le vostre immagini faranno un cambiamento pazzesco! Pensavo di fare un investimento comprando una nuova ottica da arricchire al mio parco ottiche, ma sto pensando seriamente di investire su un altro stesso tipo di flash per avere maggiore creativita in termine di scatto!

    Golden Review Award: 33 From Our UsersOk, so take my review with a pinch of salt as this is my first Canon flash.
    The box arrived next day (always impressed with Amazon Prime), and the item was brand new and ready for use!

    NOTE: This flash DOES come with a flash diffuser. You do NOT need to purchase another one (as recommended by Amazon). This wasn’t clear to me, and as a result I purchased one not realising.

    I’ve been shooting for a few years now, aiming to perfect natural lighting before moving onto things such as flashes. I always thought it was such a simple process that people make sound complicated. I was wrong. There are so many options on this flash, from setting the light levels manually to using ETTL, flash compensation etc. I’ve had a good play around and even used for a few jobs, and have to say I’m very happy and confident in the product. Do you need a 600EX? Probably not, this light is bright!!

    One thing to mention, is this flash will not operate off the camera unless you have purchased either another flash or transmitter. Considering the canon transmitter is 250+ (cheaper brands available), it almost makes sense to purchase another 430EX III, however finances won’t allow that just yet. So for now, I can only use when attached the the camera body.

    Overall very happy with my purchase.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersHo preso il flash in offerta, con questa “recensione” non posso dare consigli “fotografici” (sto ancora impratichendomi io stesso), ma solo una descrizione del prodotto, dell’acquisto.

    Nuovo, potente, direi quasi semi-professionale se non proprio gi tale, pu esser usato da solo o in “combinata” con altri flash in quanto “punti-luce”.

    Ho cominciato a leggere le istruzioni con attenzione, e pi o meno sto lasciando tutto com’ impostato, quasi tutto auto ed ETTL (l’ho preso con compreso battery-charger e pile da prendersi insieme se non si hanno: quelli consigliati in “bundle” da amazon, almeno in questo caso vanno bene: sono i pi moderni e durevoli e funzionali).
    L’oggetto “odora” di nuovo, funziona, solido e delicato allo stesso tempo, ho provato a smanettare i men (ha un display), comunque ci sono le funzioni essenziali raggiungibili in modo veloce ed intuitivo (sempre comunque leggere la guida mentre si provano i vari men e sotto men: alla fine si capisce cosa toccare e cambiare nel caso subito, e cosa lasciare co com’).

    C’ una custodia robusta e leggera con gancio per cintola, dove si mette il flash (custodia che ha una “retina” interna per infilarci qualcosa, che so il “poggia-flash” da tavolo), custodia con in pi un anello, dove ci attacchi un sacchetto nero in materiale “simil-raso”, che si chiude con un laccetto, per metterci altri accessori. Che sono: una specie di piedino “poggia-flash” per poggiarlo su un tavolo p.e. e farlo funzionare “staccato” dalla fotocamera; una specie di tappo chiaro di plastica opaca che fa da “diffusore bounce” che chiude la testa del flash frontalmente una volta agganciato, pi un altro tappo arancione (un “filtro”), per smorzare un certo tipo di illuminazione (tungsteno?).

    Poi dalla testa del flash, appena sopra la “lampada”, c’ una fessura da cui sbucano insieme: una “schedina” bianca (il pannello cattura-luce), e davanti ad esso una schedina pi scura, il “pannello largo”: quest’ultimo si pu adagiare poi sulla luce del flash (va gi in pratica), oppure farlo rientrare tenendo fuori solo il pannello cattura-luce.

    Il flash sta fermo in nel suo “binario” di aggancio, grazie a una ghiera con una levetta di chiusura che si fissa in posizione di “sicura”: ci permette di azzardare anche scatti in verticale (ovviamente, bisogna “riorientare” il flash per sparare e far riflettere adeguatamente il suo lampo). Ho letto che quando si “copre” la “lampada” del flash con il bounce o il filtro (insomma coi due “tappi” di plastica di cui sopra), il “pre-flash” si disattiva: in tali casi c’ un’opzione dal men del flash per fare il pre-flash in modalit IR (cio come dire “invisibile”).

    La testa del flash si solleva frontalmente verso l’alto (su e gi), fino a 90, ed orizzontalmente a dx e sx fin quasi del tutto, ma non del tutto, ma di molto insomma (insomma ruota lateralmente di qua e di l abbastanza). Da quel che ho capito un flash che pu esser usato in gruppo come principale (master), o meno (slave), insieme ad altri in giro per una “scena” (usandolo con comandi radio o wi-fi, ma qui dipende anche dalla fotocamera cosa pu gestire): qui per siamo oltre alle mie esigenze e capacit. Quello che prevedo infatti l’uso prevalentemente in automatico, con il pannello bianco cattura-luce orientato in alto o sulle pareti, e con flash montato sulla fotocamera, e scatti “orizzontali”: e vi assicuro che gi cos la strada molta da fare per padroneggiare le sue possibilit che intuisco molte, ma questo flash mi pare che “aiuti” con la sua luce e “tollera” le imprecisioni con i suoi settaggi e i suoi valori tecnici.

    Piccola digressione sull’unica nota negativa: c’erano tutte le quick guide, anche in burundi o lingua marziana…, tranne che in italiano: fortuna che so l’inglese e me lo leggo in inglese, ma insomma, volevo restituirlo, ma il flash era in ottimo stato, la consegna e l’imballo perfetti, pile e carica-batterie a corredo seri…
    Solo: controllate le “carte” che mettete nelle scatole, ecco, non gettatele dentro alla rinfusa. In ogni caso mi son scaricato la guida italiana completa dal sito Canon e me la sono stampata, quindi vabbe’…, ma ho rimediato da me…

    Riprendo e concludo.
    Credo si possa situare tra i flash basici e gi a un livello medio/medio-alto appena al di sotto che so del 600 e oltre, che sono molto professionali e per utenti avanzati.

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersI must first say this is my first flash I’ve ever bought and so I cannot compare this to any other models, I have previously relied on my built in flash which hasn’t given the best results…

    First impressions are fantastic, it’s built solidly, the flash is powerful and having taken a few test photographs it’s lit up a large dark room without the dreadful harshness the built in flash causes. The product comes with a nice diffuser which from reading the mark ii and other models reviews this wasn’t the case before which is nice, there is also an orange colour filter and stand. It is rather heavy with the batteries (4xAA) in which I quite like but others may not, as previously mentioned I have not had a different flash to this so cannot compare if this is heavier or not!

    It also comes with a nice fabric carry case which looks as though it can be attached to a belt, or attached by a clip as it has a D ring on one side.

    I look forward to really giving this flash a good test soon enough, I’ll try and update this review as and when I do!

    Golden Review Award: 24 From Our UsersEstoy iniciandome en el flash y decid comprar un Canon en vez de uno chino ms barato por el potencial precio de reventa en el futuro. Los estuve mirando de segunda mano y me pareci que pierden menos valor. El flash tiene una construccin muy robusta y se nota de calidad, pero no puedo compararlo con otros flashes.

    Este flash viene con difusor y con filtro de luz incandescente. Ojo!! Que amazon te sugiere comprar el filtro del Canon Speedlite 430EX-II y no sirve, no encaja, ni falta que os hace. El filtro que incorpora, al colocarlo en el cabezal hace presin en unos sensores y este desactiva automticamente la funcin de zoom.

    Lo he estado utilizando en el saln de casa (que no es muy grande, a decir verdad, pero tampoco enanop) y a potencia 1/1 tienes luz ms que de sobra (estaba tirando a f11, 1/125 e ISO 100 y la foto era prcticamente blanca). Tambin he utilizado el flash en exteriores como luz de relleno en fotos bajo el sol para evitar las sombras que produce la barbilla y con difusor y a 1/8 sobra potencia. Tengo que hacer ms pruebas en exterior (con paraguas o caja de luz). El pi metlico que incluye dispone de un agujero para atornillar en un trpode y dirigir la luz ms a nuestro gusto.

    El tiempo de reciclado es, como anuncia Canon, unos 3.5 segundos. Este es el tiempo entre descargas a mxima potencia. Si en cambio, se utiliza una potencia inferior, los disparos pueden ser continuos (que no rfaga) sin esperar al flash. Utilizo unas Pilas Sanyo/Panasonic Eneloop Pro de 2400 mAh.

    Respecto a los modos automticos (E-TTL), con mi cmara Canon 600D no he obtenido muy buenos resultados. No he insistido mucho, la verdad, y rpido me he tirado a manejarlo en manual. Con mi Canon 600D tambin he probado una funcionalidad EasyWireless que, mientras la Cmara est en radio del sensor del flash, se puede utilizar para disparar fuera de la zapata de la cmara (por ejemplo, en ngulo de 45 grados desde la izquierda como luz de relleno). Buscad en Youtube “Canon 600D easywireless”. Sin embargo, las limitaciones de que la cmara deba estar en radio (ser por los infrarrojos?) me est haciendo plantearme comprar unos emisores/receptores aparte para disparar con ms control y facilidad.

    Golden Review Award: 22 From Our UsersI own the 430Ex mk2 and have used it regularly and without a hitch but this is even better – so reliable and intuitive. Cracking effort from Canon – I was using this within minutes of getting it out the box and simply thrilled with the results.
    Update: Nov 2017 – still getting great results but I now have three of them plus the Canon radio trigger.
