Not what is advertised

When I opened the box I was disappointed. This flash looks very light and cheap. The power and auxiliary buttons are tiny plastic buttons that look like they're about to break. I figured as long as they didn't break, I'd be fine. handy when warranty expired, TTL didn't work, and slave mode stopped working too. In manual mode, sometimes the light doesn't burn, it's too bright/white. Out of warranty, turns on but will not charge. I was in the middle of filming and had to fiddle with the switch and change the batteries. Sometimes it doesn't load. It was a waste of money and a piece of junk. I'm saving money to buy a special Oly Blitz. Now two bad experiences with non-brands. I don't think it's worth the risk to buy these cheap, poorly made flashes.

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Communication with seller
