I have the first version of the YN360 and I really liked it. The problem is that you need an external battery. The problem wasn't that, it was that the battery would die if it wasn't charged every few days. I love how you can change colors from your smartphone or tablet. I took a chance and got a new version. I couldn't be happier with the purchase. It's just as amazing as the first one with an internal battery. The best thing about the internal battery is that it seems to last forever. If you need LED light for video or photo, get it!
