I was able to start using this product for one week and I am happy with it. It is functioning as advertised and the actual unit has more to offer. The casing though is a little weak, but hey, this does not have the Canon brand name and price. Initially, I was able to get some decent lighting on my shots.
This one is well built and performs well. There are two things not quite up to par.
1) Like others has posted, the tilt is very weak.
2) The menu selection you have to push two buttons at the same time to tuggle is a little bit inconvenient. I would prefer a one hand operation with joy stick. All it needs is a lock function to prevent mistakes.
What a great Macro/Close-up flash. The flash works great lens mounted or by romoving one or both of the heads (they also have tripod mounts on them). This makes this flash so versatile. Excellent Canon quality and performance. Ettl works flawless with my Rebel XTi! It is also able to control a slave and I believe it can also be used as a slave. I couldn't be happier with this flash!
I purchased this item for remote (wireless non CLS) flash(manual). Modeling light and 1/3 power increments make it attractive to use in manual mode. While these features work fine there is a major flaw. The unit has an auto turn off feature that can't be turned off (pressing the test button will reactivate the flash). Obviously that make it not suitable for remote flash work. Also, in case you are wondering, the unit min power is 1/64 (I was hoping for 1/128).
I have never used one of these before, but it seems to do ok. It softens the intensity of the flash, yet allows enough light for a good picture. It seems to work better for distances not exceeding 15 feet.
This flash is a steel, I give it a 5 based on price. You can pay more but I doubt you'll do much better. It was recognized by my camera right away in the E-TTL mode. It works great with my rechargeable batteries. I'm using it on my Canon S5IS. I'm getting great results. You quickly learn how to bounce the flash off white ceilings. My favorite feature is the two built in flash reflector and / or the diffuser. It's great because you'll never misplace these items. I also like the flexibility of the swivel in all directions, it allows me to take some great angles.
The product arrived promptly and functions perfectly with my Canon Rebel-XTi. It arrived in perfect condition and worked as soon as I could get the batteries installed. Great price----great product!
I ordered two of these for use in a "strobist" style setup without radio triggers. This was a big mistake because you cannot use the Pentax wireless commander mode with these units in Manual. Only pttl.
The only way to fire them on manual as slaves is with another flash which is contributing to the exposure.
They will work fine on manual with radio triggers such as Pocket Wizards or Skyports but even then they have an 80 second "timeout" where if they are not fired in 80 seconds, they turn off. That can be annoying. There may be a way to get around this though, when I get my radio triggers, if I can figure out a way to get pass that problem I will be sure to update here.
Other than that though they are great! Very powerful ... Read More:
