Embracing the signature vintage styling of the original Vintage Z1, the Z1 Pro introduces TTL automatic flash metering and High-Speed Sync (HSS) functionality, for only $59.99.

Delivering enhanced performance and creative flexibility in a highly portable form factor, the Viltrox Vintage Z1 Pro is the first in the series to include High-Speed Sync (HSS) functionality up to 1/8000s, enabling photographers to shoot in bright daylight with wider apertures and capture fast-moving subjects in natural ambient conditions.

While the Vintage Z1 flash was a manual only model, the Vintage Z1 Pro has TTL flash metering included (like the Vintage Z2, launched last March), meaning it automatically adjusts flash output based on ambient lighting conditions. The Vintage Z1 Pro also supports, like the first version, two optical trigger modes: S1 mode, which triggers simultaneously when another flash burst is detected, and S2 mode, which ignores TTL pre-flashes and triggers on the primary flash burst, enabling flexible multi-light arrangements and off-camera flash setups.

Also new is the intuitive circular color touchscreen UI designed to simplify workflows. The display provides clear access to flash output levels, shooting modes, battery status, and sync settings, while touch-based controls enable faster and more intuitive adjustments compared to traditional button-operated interfaces.

The Vintage Z1 Pro delivers 24Ws flash output with a 1-second recycle time. The high-capacity battery supports, Viltrox says, “up to 350 full-power flashes per charge, helping creators maintain a smooth shooting rhythm. Integrated USB-C charging allows the flash to fit conveniently into modern loadouts, with a full recharge taking just 70 minutes.”

Pocketable, lightweight, the Vintage Z1 Pro flash supports TTL with Sony, Nikon, Canon, and Fujifilm camera systems (hot shoe versions), and can be used manually across a wide range of mainstream cameras. The Vintage Z1 Pro flash is available now, with a suggested retail price of USD $59.99.
