The compact and powerful Nissin i60A, TTL and HSS enabled speedlights, with 2.4GHz radio receiver built inside, are now available in Canon, Nikon, Sony, Micro 4/3, and Fujifilm, mount versions.
All i60A versions cleverly include all of the Canon, Nikon, Sony, Micro 4/3, and Fujifilm, TTL radio slave modes for off camera use (with corresponding Air Commander units).
The i60A are Nissin’s second speedlight after the Di700A, to be compatible with the NAS (Nissin Air System) and Air Commander units.
Following the success of the very compact Nissin i40 speedlightes, the i60A follow the same format, though squeeze in extras including –
- A higher guide number – 60m (ISO 100 / 200mm)
- 24 – 200MM Zoom
- Color LCD Display
- HV Battey Port
- Built-in 2.4GHz NAS Radio Receiver
All into a package that’s not much larger than the original i40, and should still appeal to many mirrorless and compact camera owners.
The i60A also improve upon the Di700A speedlight, providing a higher guide number (60m vs 54m), and 1/3rd stop Manual power level graduations instead of 1/2 stops. As well as 1/256th minimum power level.

- TTL
- HSS to 1/8000th (Not with Fujifilm)

Fantastic! I’ve been keeping an eye on this for a while and wondered when this was going to happen. The speedlights and controller look fantastic. Speedlights seem a little on the pricey side… Can’t wait for some real-world testing!
