Hi! I've been doing some research to find a Canon flash that is compatible with my SL3, since my third party options are unable to work since the center pin is missing on the hot shoe. I've found several options, but before I purchase one of them, can someone tell me from this list, which ones will work with my SL3? I'm trying to be budget friendly as well, but I'm in need of a flash that works when I'm doing studio shoots so I don't have to use my Nikon.
Here's the list of Canon Speedlites I've found that may work:
Out of this list, which would work for my Canon SL3?
Solved! Go to Solution.

I can’t use a brand other than Canon for the flash because it’s not compatible with my SL3, due to the center pin missing. I’ve tried to use a Godox flash, as well as other third party flashes, and it does not work with my camera! However, I know it’s possible for me to use a third party flash as a sender and it will communicate with my other Godox strobes and the flash works.

Thanks! I grabbed the Godox V1C and it works perfectly with my camera.
