Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this flash to photograph a wedding, this was my first formal event, and I received the flash the night before I needed it so I had almost no practice with using it. I have to say, for never using an external flash before, this was incredibly easy to use. After about half an hour of using it in a dark high ceiling church, I was getting the results I wanted every time, and the ability to quickly detach and use it as a hand held flash with wireless sync was a plus.
The Only problem I had with the flash was that it kept overheating with my lithium batteries. Apparently the batteries get blistering hot through continual and constant use, and the camera reads them as dead and shuts off, this put me in a few tight situations where I had to quickly change batteries, or use the pop up flash on my DSLR. I would recommend using alkaline batteries for this, they lasted a lot longer then the lithium did, I am sure the lithium would have lasted longer had they not been overheating. I would recommend to get the external battery pack on this, though it is an expensive battery holder, it seems it would have been essential if it saved my batteries from over heating.
Overall I has very happy with the flash the few times I have actually needed it, and am very happy to have it in my photographic arsenal.
