Question
By "independent flash" I mean a flash which is not attached with the camera by default. What is the technical name for it?
Answer
It depends on the actual type of flash unit. If it's the kind of flash that fits on the hot-shoe on top of the camera, then it's usually called a flash-gun or a speedlight.
If it's a 'professional' flash of the type used for studio modelling shoots, it's usually called a studio flash.
The catch-all term for any flash not on the camera is off-camera flash.
