Bought this flash in March 2021 and have used it for commercial, portrait, product, lifestyle and event photography and still no problems. I'm a full-time photographer and need reliable gear that has worked great so far and I've just bought a second flash. I bought one first to try and see if buying the second one was worth it and I think it's worth it. :) Cons: The battery only lasts 4 hours so I bought a second battery because 4 hours is not enough for me and I was right. We therefore strongly recommend purchasing a second battery. No tripod or umbrella is included, so you need to buy one separately, and a sturdy, heavy tripod is highly recommended. It doesn't have a grip like other strobe lights and it's not that big of a deal breaker, but it would be nice to add it to the strobe. People complain about their weight, but what do they expect? I think it's lighter than other flashes, but it's not light, that's for sure. Pros: Worth the price. Easy to use. Comes in a sturdy box for carrying or storing. makes life a lot easier. All in all, I paid about $850 for a solid tripod and umbrella for a flash. Depending on how you look at the strobe, that's a good value. I hope this helps anyone who saw the bad reviews. I think it's worth the price and quality. I also bought it for my Canon camera. :)
