I have mine mounted on a handle that's attached to the camera shoe. A smaller, more powerful and more expensive alternative is a Contax TLA200. It's TTL, but you can use it in auto mode. It's incredibly small and powerful, but no good mounted right on the camera: you need to hand hold it. I gave up trying to make do with tiny flashes, and ended up getting a Metz 40MZ3, which is very, very good (and expensive, sadly). You can bounce flash the main light, and turn on a secondary direct fill, for very soft illumination. Trouble is, the flash though fairly small for what it is, is about as big as the camera!
