Canon Speedlite 430EX III-RT Camera Flash

Elevate your flash photography with the Canon Speedlite 430EX III-RT. This compact powerhouse blends advanced exposure technology with intuitive operation, delivering consistent, natural lighting in even the most challenging environments. Whether you’re a portrait shooter, event photographer, or product specialist, this flash offers professional-grade power in a portable package. Its radio-enabled wireless system, versatile head, and reliable performance make it a standout addition to any Canon ecosystem, helping you achieve crisp, beautifully lit images with less guesswork.

  • Powerful, portable lighting for a wide range of scenes — The Speedlite 430EX III-RT provides strong, consistent light that flatters skin tones, highlights textures, and enhances detail across portraits, weddings, events, and product shoots. Its compact design fits easily into your kit, making it an ideal travel companion without sacrificing power or quality.
  • Built-in Canon RT radio wireless system — With 2.4 GHz radio communication, you can trigger this flash remotely or as part of a multi-flash setup. Use it as a master or slave to coordinate lighting from a distance, reduce cord clutter, and simplify studio workflows. The 430EX III-RT plays nicely with other RT-compatible flashes for expansive, professional lighting configurations.
  • Flexible head and light shaping — The overhead light head tilts and rotates to bounce light off walls, ceilings, or reflectors, letting you sculpt shadows and shape the scene. A built-in bounce card and diffuser help you achieve softer, more natural results right out of the box, while the 24–105mm zoom range covers most standard lenses.
  • Smart exposure with E-TTL II and high-speed capabilities — Canon’s trusted E-TTL II metering ensures accurate exposure across a variety of environments, including backlit or high-contrast scenes. When your shooting demands fast action or bright surfaces, Auto FP High-Speed Sync expands your shutter speed options while maintaining proper flash exposure.
  • Ready for on-location and off-camera lighting — Designed to excel both on-camera and off-camera, the 430EX III-RT pairs with compatible Canon bodies and wireless triggers for dynamic lighting setups. Its sturdy build, quick recycling, and reliable performance make it a dependable choice from studio shoots to outdoor sessions.
