(More customer reviews)I was really pleased to find this package.Your local camera shop is great and all but this would have cost a fortune at the camera shop I normally go to (I went in and did a price check on everything before ordering online).
I won't be attaching the paperboard bounce that came in the package because I already own a Sto-Fen omni-bounce (from my old 580ex, RIP).I would suggest that anyone who is ordering this package order the omni-bounce as well.
Edit:While I was shooting a wedding the flash stopped working right as I was about to take a picture of the groom adjusting the bride's father's tie.The camera locked up (ETTL changed to TTL and the flash wouldn't go off) and I missed the picture.flash worked again later but continued to lock up the camera at critical moments.When I got home I searched for the cause of the problem and found most people pointing their finger at the cord.If you go to the page where the included cord is being sold, you'll find a number of reviews complaining of the same problem.The speedlite does not fit onto the cord properly (has to be forced into the locking position) and even when tightened, the other end will slip off the hotshoe if you happen to bump it with your forehead. This is still a great package, but Cameta really needs to include a cord that works with the 580ex ii better.

What's the secret professional photographers know that makes their flash pictures look so amazing? Great looking flash pictures aren't just about how powerful and expensive the flash is, it's about the quality and texture of the light (soft and diffuse versus direct and harsh) as well as the angle at which the subject is illuminated.
Canon's state of the art 580EX II Speedlite is fully compatible with the electronics of Canon EOS Digital & Film SLR Cameras including Canon's E-TTL, E-TTL II & TTL dedication.
Provide your camera with plenty of power with ultra-high capacity 2900mAh Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries and a multi-voltage rapid charger.
The worst thing about most flash pictures is when the camera is held vertically for portrait-type shots and you get those horrible side shadows that look as if they were plastered on the wall. The Stroboframe Quick Flip 350's pivoting flash arm keeps your flash centered high above the lens for both horizontal and vertical compositions which eliminates red-eye and controls background shadows so that they fall unobtrusively behind and below your subjects.
The Precision Design E-TTL Coiled Flash Extension Cord allows the Canon 580EX II Flash to be attached to the Stroboframe Flash Bracket and still maintain electronic communication with the camera to perform all its dedicated automatic exposure functions. This makes it as easy and simple to use your flash off camera as when it is mounted on it.
