    This light has been a game changer for me. I shoot indoors and occasionally don’t have my studio lights available. It really help my less expensive kit lenses capture a moment. The only thing that I didn’t like at first was the added weight especially coupled with a heavy lens but I’ve gotten used to it.

    I love the fact that I got this for 25 dollars used, and it works like a champ! Best buy is the best place to purchase open box items. I love it!

    The flash was useful in a pinch, and managed to help me get my job done when I really need a quick bounce-flash. My only complaint would be how fast it eats up batteries, but hey...it's a bounce flash. It's going to happen.

    I take pictures of family to preserve memories for future members since I wish I had pictures of my family elders. With that said, I am by no means a professional photographer so this may be an invalid opinion on the flash, but regardless I will tell you my experience with it thus far (a month). This flash has allowed me to take very good pictures of small family functions (due to covid). My pictures are beautiful...clear and bright. I will say a couple of times too bright, but I blame myself for that since I have never taken a photography class or youtube'd self-help videos. For me, this affordable flash is an excellent value and I am very happy with my purchase.

    It does it's job but has few cons. It's a TTL flash and works well but it's very very heavy. With 4 AA batteries and the item itself being heavy it's a rock. Can be used on a tripod where you do not have to hold it while shooting in a master slave combi.

    With the awesome light gathering capabilities of Nikon sensors, I was only needing this flash for in door events. This flash allows you to chooses output manually so you can use just a little bit of fill light and not blow people away with light. So thankful this was affordable!

    Remarkable Value

    Compared to the earlier Sunpack offerings at about $10 less, this flash would cost twice as much. Best features are the metal foot and that the same flash works on both Canon and Nikon. It has no "worst feature". It's not an earth shaking piece of tech, but is a full featured medium power level flash, appears to be well made, and you can get two of these for the price of the alternatives. Getting two is not a bad idea because the same unit can operate as either master or slave, unlike Canon's own flashes which are either-or, but not both-in-one.

    I bought three of these as open box deals. All three arrived in perfect working order. The manual is clearly a poorly translated to English little book that can be hard to decipher at times, but if you are familiar with speedlites, or watch a Youtube video on it, these work great.

    Works perfectly for my Canon R7. It’s a little heavy to carry with the weight of the camera added on but nothing too bad.

    Using this flash with my Canon 40D after my original flash was lost in a move. I needed this quickly to use at an unexpected event and am very happy with results. Flash quality is excellent and works great with both my Canon camera bodies. easy to use.

    Im so glad it turns out just right. But sometimes it disconnected and connected. You may have to turn back off and on. The lights is great but not for professional photographers. Just beginner.
