    Good for the price but keep overheating for every 20-30 shoots at 1/1 output.

    I have bought this flash THREE TIMES. It is quite possibly the worst photography product I have ever purchased. Broke all three times. Batteries lasted less then an hour. May have just been bad luck but I definitely do not recommend this flash. (Purchased only because I was waiting on my Canon Speed light to come in!)

    A Best Buy expert said this was compatible with my camera and it wasn’t. Not to mention, I ordered this online and the one I received was broken and used and I had to drive to the store, exchange for a new one only to find out that my camera wasn’t compatible.

    Bought this and was told it would work with my cannon rp and it would not even turn on. Had to take it back. Probably great for a DSLR camera though.
