Product Reviews
Impressed for the price
NOTE THIS IS A MANUAL FLASH…YOU CANNOT USE YOUR CANON CAMERA FLASH MENU TO CONTROL THE FLASH.I must say, I didn’t have high expectations for this flash. I checked some of the reviews and they were mixed, but reviews are a small part of the reason I make a purchase. The flash is pretty well built for the price range, and seems like it will last for a long time. The optical slave NEVER misses, and it’s extremely sensitive even when it’s turned in the opposite direction of the master flash. Even though I’m a professional Photographer…to me…Light is light no matter where it comes from. If your flash cost you $500…can I use this flash an create the same image?…You bet I can…How you use your equipment is more important than what equipment you have. Don’t get me wrong though…more expensive pieces of equipment usually have more options and allow you certain freedoms, but ehhh…learn with the cheap stuff, and once you see your limits with this equipment…move on from there.***************************************Update!!!!: 9/11/2013First of all (today is 9⁄11) my condolences to those who have lost loved ones as I did in the attacks)It has been ALMOST 2 years since I’ve purchased 3 of these flashes, and they are still working PERFECTLY!!!I’m not a fan of spending money on things that will breakdown in the future, and these flashes have been banged around and thrown all over the place yet they still continue to produce excellent light for my photography needs.I usually use them for background, hair lights, and sometimes as a filler when it’s needed and they have been great. The construction is solid, ease of use is key, optical slave is super sensitive and reliable. When you have good batteries in them…the recycle time is quick. I recommend VERY good rechargeable batteries (eneloop and powerex have never failed me).***************************************Update: 12/9/2013I ordered another one today to use as another slave…the other 3 that I have are still working perfectly fine and I have never had a problem with them at all. for such a cheap product…it’s pretty shocking that they last this long and contunue to fire on command in slave mode without a miss!!!! I might be getting 2 more of these for a total of 6…some of my light setups are very elaborate, and I’ve learned the distance to power ratio in my studio of these flashes and never need to meter tham…they add light just where I need it when I have a snoot on each one. PERFECT!!!
it’s OKAY for the price
positives:(1). comes with a built in bounce card and wide angle diffuser (you dont even need this with anything narrower than 18mm)(2). 8 steps of manual control in 1/8th stop increments (1⁄128, 1⁄64, 1⁄32, 1⁄16, 1⁄8, 1⁄4, 1⁄2, and 1⁄1)(3). has an auto overheat shutoff(4). has a PC sync cord so it can be used with PC capable light meters and cameras.(5). the controls are super simple, bright, and easy to see even at a glance(6). rotates 270 degrees and tilts from 0 to 90 degrees(7). it feels nice in the hand. heavy but not bulky or overweighted. doesn’t feel cheap, the hot shoe locking screw is secure but not too tight. there’s no rattling or any sort of movement that’s unwanted. stays securely on your hot shoe.(8). HAS A SLAVE MODE. the slave is super sensitive and fires every time if you give it time to recharge (.1s for 1⁄164 and 5s for 1⁄1) and it even has a “slave 2 mode” that will fire only once your master and 1st slave have fired.(9). CHEAP AS HELLnow for the negatives(1). tilting the head from the horizontal to vertical position works like it should and clicks into the designated 45, 60, and 75 degree positions without a problem but when tilting it back from vertical to horizontally seems to get caught on something and takes more force and makes a different sound than the clicking that it should when changing the angle.(2). the battery chamber has a problem. some brands of AA batteries work fine but others dont meet the contacts like they should. i tested the batteries and made sure they weren’t just dead but there’s just a problem with the way that batteries fit in the compartment. here’s what i’ve found:Energizer regular and rechargeable = works fineDuracell = works finepanasonic regular and rechargeable = will not worki tried everything with the panasonic batteries. i switched the order of them, wiped off the leads and even scuffed them up a little with some sandpaper, i tried everything. panasonic batteries and this flash just dont like each other. sorry.if you’ve tested any other brands of normal or rechargeable batteries and can tell if they do or dont work please comment below to let others know.
Terrific Value!
For such an inexpensive price, I felt like I got a very high quality piece of equipment. It took me a few weeks playing around with it to figure out how much to angle it in different lighting etc, but I’m not a professional photographer.. just a mom with a camera trying to capture memories of my kids. I usually keep it almost angled all the way up, or else everything appears overly flashed, but at almost all the way up, I get just the right amount of exposure. I did really struggle getting it to take in focus photos with my Canon 30D, I stopped using it eventually because I couldn’t figure it out. I’m sure it’s just user error.
Does not connect with camera. Flashed, but the …
Does not connect with camera. Flashed, but the camera does not register the flash and therefore does not change to the necessary settings. If anyone knows a way to have the flash function, please post. I am using a canon 6D
Simple and Effective
Lightweight, solid construction, and dead simple to use. Recycle time is great from 1⁄2 power to lower. Full power pops take a few seconds. Honestly, my Nikon SB-25 fails to pop far more often than this. Simple controls and very legible LED indicators make this super easy to use. It lacks any extra features (TTL, stroboscopic, element zoom, etc.) but does includes a bounce card and wide-angle diffuser. I keep it on me all the time, and use it in optical slave mode constantly. Great 2nd flash, or main flash if your needs are simple. Perfect for me. Maybe not for pro wedding photographers, but pros can afford the better gear anyways.
… it for real estate photograph response on flash is great. Adjusting light power was easy
I am using it for real estate photograph response on flash is great. Adjusting light power was easy. I use a nikon with a wireless link to a samsung tablet to setup shots. Flash has just the right amount of flexiblity.
Buy it!!!
I was a very new beginner at photography, this is my very first speedlight. I always wondered if it was worth it to even buy one, and it’s definitely worth it.
Great Flash
I love this Flash! Its not a professional flash however you can use it for your Cannon 70D Camera with no issues.
Great deal
Exactly as advertised. Great deal for $31
Works well but can’t use LCD screen when in use.
Not bad at all. A word of advice. It was not working for me at first with my Canon T6i or 60D. After numerous testing I figured it out.
Excellent for the price
This is a really good flash for the price. I’d give it five stars but it doesn’t work on live view In my Canon 80D. Still very happy with it so far.
All Bugs Worked-Out for Canon EOS 80D
When I unboxed the speedlite, it had a solid build quality and powerful flash output that was adjustable.
Value for Money & Quality
Great external flash for a very reasonable price. Great quality starting from packaging to the product itself.
Three Stars
nice flash for the money.
Five Stars
Great flash. Would recommend
Four Stars
