Questions about this item

How does the 4000 model designation translate to flash power in actual use?

The 4000 designation identifies the model series; real-world output depends on the bounce head angle, zoom setting and the camera's metering system.

Which hot-shoe standard does the flash use and what limits does that impose?

It fits a standard ISO hot shoe on Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax and other brands; Sony and Minolta bodies are not supported.

What clearance and mounting hardware are needed to attach the unit?

The flash weighs .77 kg and ships with a camera bracket; it mounts directly on the hot shoe and the bracket adds a tripod socket for extra stability.
