Hello.
I have a 6D Mark II.
I'm looking for a flash primarily for indoors but that allows high-speed shooting (this is essential).
I'm thinking about investing in the EL-1.
Is the EL-1 fully compatible with the 6D Mark II ?
Thank you.

Greetings,
Yes, compatible. 6D2 is E-TTL II autoflash (evaluative flash metering and average flash metering)
EL-1 flash supports:
Type-A EOS cameras (E-TTL II/E-TTL autoflash)
The EL-1 is about as fast as you can get. The 6D2 is an enthusiast level camera. The flash might be overkill for most non-professional needs.

What do you mean by "high speed shooting"? High Speed Sync? The specs talk about it, so it looks like it has it. I would download the manual and check it out to be sure.
