LightPix Labs has announced the FlashQ FM2, a compact wireless flash inspired by the Contax TLA200 from the 80s, but built for modern mirrorless cameras like the Fujifilm X100VI or X-Pro3. It is made from aluminium alloy, comes in either black or brushed silver with a tough anodised finish and weighs 101 grams.

The FM2 will be available in two versions, a fully Manual Flash that is already out, and a Wireless TTL model for Fujifilm cameras coming on October 15, 2025. The TTL version communicates directly with compatible Fuji bodies for automatic exposure control and includes Front and Rear Curtain Sync as well as Flash Exposure Compensation. The Manual model offers power adjustments from 1/1 down to 1/64 with fine 1/3-stop steps. Both models come with built-in FlashQ radio technology, allowing them to trigger other units wirelessly within a 10-meter range without the need for separate transmitters.

The flash runs on two AA batteries, recycling in about four seconds when using Ni-MH cells, and it also includes a USB-C port for charging or wired sync. It is rated with a Guide Number of 20 at ISO 100 and a daylight-balanced colour temperature of 5600K. The Manual version is priced at $79, while the Fujifilm TTL version will retail for $99.
