    Not the best for weddings

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought to start flash photography. Use for when I am doing weddings and it goes through batteries really fast and gets very hot. If you want something to use for occasional flash photos this would be a great investment but not for weddings. Once batteries are draining, the flash will still go off but pictures will not produce correctly.

    This is a solid, albeit heavy, bounce flash. It works well on all of my cameras and the quality is well worth the price.

    Decent for the price. Some Compatibility Issues.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Works great when mounted directly on camera hot shoe, even with the newer EOS R camera. HSS works fine when mounted on the the camera hot shoe as well. However... This flash has some compatibility issues with high speed sync and external adapters like the pocket wizards triggering system like Flex TT5. My more expensive Canon branded flashes work just fine however this flash will only properly sync up to 1/200 of a second using off camera flash triggers, even if the triggers are HSS compatible themselves. As long as you don't plan on shooting faster then 1/200 of a second using off camera flash triggers then this flash is great for its price.

    Sunpack Flash

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    So I saw this flash in my local store. It looked like a decent universal flash . I like Sunpack So I decided to try it, but it suffered the pitfall of most universal devices. Did not fit my Nikon D3100. The pins are to long so the rear six pins will bend if forced. It has good features which is why I'm giving it a 3 star rating. If your camera has wireless functions then it will still be possible to use. Those are the pitfalls of a universal device.

    Great flash for the price. I now have 3 of them. Works well with my Nikon D80, my D300 and D800E. Perfect exposure and work together wirelessly.

    useless

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought this to photograph a high school dance. This unit would, at random intervals, fire itself. The batteries lasted almost two hours of candids. When changing batteries, I almost burned my hand on the VERY hot batteries. Doesn't seem to mate well with a Canon Rebel T3, as photos would be over or under exposed at random. I should have been suspicious when, in the store, I noticed that the box had been opened..

    I called the company and specifically asked if this product would fit my camera and they said yes. When I brought it home the shoe wasn’t compatible with me camera so I had to return. It was a good product but I couldn’t use it.

    Not worth the money spent

    Ordered online and picked flash up. Took home and tried several sets of batteries and flash would not even power up. What a waste of time purchasing product that isn't worth a dime if it doesn't work!
