teera97 from Thailand Registed User Posted On Tuesday, 24 July 2012 I'm very happy with this good cheap adjustable flash power. Recycling time is short especially if you use dim power. Recommended.

cameracricket from India Registed User Posted On Monday, 25 June 2012 A very nice flash. Has most things you'd need for an off-camera flash. It can work in three modes. The one I've used the most is the S2 (slave) mode on a with a Canon 60D. I am not sure if I want to use it on camera as there is no information on the trigger voltage of the flash anywhere. But for my purposes, off-camera suits well.
mgosnay from Canada Registed User Posted On Thursday, 22 December 2011 For the price you cant go wrong with this, works great
swyeak from Singapore Registed User Posted On Thursday, 29 September 2011 For the price: no complain, works as it should, nothing more, nothing less. Very happy and save money.
davidiam from Canada Registed User Posted On Thursday, 29 September 2011 I just ordered this thing, being pretty skeptical of both the site, and the other reviews. My mind is now at ease. I ordered it on a sunday, 11 days later here it is. For the money, this thing is top notch. I have Nikon strobes, and they're great, but for the money I can get 7 of these for an SB 700. Set on S2 Mode, they work even in conjunction with CLS TTL strobes. You still have to set this flash manually, it wont TTL meter, but it will fire perfectly with your other CLS strobes. Ridiculously good deal for the money. It doesn't feel super rugged, but no flash really is. I recently had my D700 with an SB 600 on it, and not only the screw drive on the zoom head broke, but the flash tube as well, so no flash is indestructible. Just take care of it, and if it breaks, its only $46 for a new one.
I'm gonna order a few more now! And free shipping, no customs charges, this thing is a no brainer for a Canadian at least.
