I've tried doing research on flashes and it's all over the place What would you all suggest for on and off camera flashes for the canon M50 that work good.
Some quick digging online on the canon site indicates that the M50 is compatible with EX flashes, so you should be able to use TTL with any of them or any off brand that is designed to be TTL compatible as an EX. What you wont be able to do is use the built in master/slave triggering options in the series 2 and 3 triggers. https://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/3/0300029803/01/eosm50-um-en.pdf https://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/8/0300029808/04/eosm50-hg2-en.pdf Page 41 talks of external flash. You could pick up a smaller flash for on camera like the 270 of 430 EXII I think the 580s would feel huge on the camera. Honestly I would probably shoot exclusively off camera if I had an m50. My personal flash setup is a couple of 580s and yongnuo triggers, which it does seem others are using with the setup but you may want to do a bit of googling yourself as well. They may be a modest priced option for you over pocket wizards, they work well for me. Here is a link for the two canon based triggers I have, i picked up a few pairs of transceivers and then a controller for managing multiple flashes, I did not get them bundled like but it shows the two models. A pair of transceivers will work for 1 flash off camera, you can add the controller later if you get a second flash. https://www.amazon.com/YN622C-KIT-i...er+canon&qid=1638889564&s=electronics&sr=1-13 https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/61301204 dpreview post about these triggers and the m50, they are using yongnuo flashes as well but I prefer to stick canon, the older gen canons are very reasonable used and I trust the color more than 3 party brands.
. Very nice information. Last question, specifically to your method of off camera flash usage are they all manual if off camera or can off cameras be used as ttl?
In my case TTL works with all my EXII flashes off camera using the yongnuo triggers. It SOULD work with your m50 given it is EX compatible and based on the posts i found. Of course I can't test that as i don't have an m50.
