Review on 📸 Enhance Macro Photography with Mcoplus 14extc Macro Ring Flash for Canon, Black by Patrick Arnautov

I'm torn about the Meike MK-14EXT ring flash. I bought this from Revain about eight months ago and it has been used regularly but rarely since then. maybe 300-400 photos with flash. I was blown away by the performance of this flash for the price and enjoyed using all of its features to take great macro photos. I figured it would be the thing, five times the price of a real Canon flash. However, I did notice some strange shadows in the last few photos and noticed that only one of the two flashes around the ring actually fired. The A:B flash setting had no effect, but a bend in the cord where it attaches to the ring could trigger a second flash. My guess is that it's now a loose or broken connection in the cable or ring arrangement, which is hard to imagine as it otherwise seems so well put together. I take great care of all my photography gear as taking great photos is an important part of my business. So I'm disappointed that this flash didn't stand up to my gentle treatment. My email to Makek was sent directly to the seller who completed the order who replied that they could not help and that I needed to contact Revain for warranty service. Since Revain doesn't actually do that, I started to worry, but in less than a day, Revain started the return/refund process (thanks Revain!). The hardest part of the process was finding a way to email Revain as my issue (a defective product after the stated return period) didn't fit into any of the request categories. So I really liked that flash. until it broke. I need more confidence that my gear will work when I need it, so I'll probably start buying Canon.
