    Purchased to use it for Canon DSLR but it needs 4 AA size batteries. Would be better if it takes a single and bigger battery like that of DSLR cameras. Can't change 4 batteries every week.

    Fair flash and lighting if you’re a beginner, but if you’re a pro with a gig, don’t cut corners!!! To all of you beginners!! Pay the extra and get a more expensive flash with longer and wider range. Still a good buy for a beginner.

    It burned the batteries out within 5 minutes of using it was horrible I was doing an event and missed more than half the pictures because it burned the batteries so there was no flash.

    When compared to the Nikon Speedlight this flash is definitely worth the money. Works great and I don't have to worry about loosing a $50 flash versus $300+

    It did not mount to my R50 directly and so I had to return it. But I had heard good reviews from others.

    Point blank, It's cheap. It makes a rattling noise that doesn't seem to affect its performance. It's okay; I've had better flashes. As a matter of fact, the even cheaper Altura flash puts out a better output at the same settings. I didn't get to use the flash before I could return it, or I would have. My advice is to save up for a Godox if you can.

    Its a good speedlite for beginners. The only bad thing about it the refresh rate. The weight with 4 AA's is a bit on the heavy side too.

    Junk

    I bought this thinking I could have a good second flash for my second camera (I own a Canon Speedlite 430EX II that has served me well). After reading the manual (which is clearly translated poorly from Chinese), I tested it out on the camera... A Canon EOS 6D Mark II). I know this says it auto sleeps after 60 seconds in which you are supposed to wake it up with any button. However, it would shut off at random... anywhere between 5 seconds and 2 minutes, and I had to actually turn it back on. Eventually it would even quit turning on altogether.... This barely after taking 3 test photos. Even when it was not mounted, it would do the same thing. So back to Best Buy to return this tomorrow. I'll just spend the extra money and get another Canon flash.

    Needed an external flash for last minute photo session. The instruction manual that came with it was very vague, almost useless. I had to figure it out myself by trial and error.

    I'm sure it would have been a great working flash, but it was not compatible with my rebel t7. i was mad that it states on the box that it is. Lesson learned read reviews. I took to long to return and lost 30 bucks (sold it and despite being brand new only got 20 bucks, used towards a compatible flash). I gave it a low rating because technically it is misleading.
