Good entry-level or amateur flash

After reading many reviews from different manufacturers I decided to buy two of these portable flashes. They are well suited for lighting amateur studios or students looking for a good price on their first set of lights. Has many elements found in professional flashes (photocell, trigger, zoom, power control, decent display) that can help a beginner with this type of gear. It also makes sense to invest in one or two of these devices for amateur portrait or product photography. If more professional lighting is required, it is recommended to switch to a dedicated camera manufacturer brand or studio lighting brands, as these flashes have slow loading times and some initial startup issues (sometimes they freeze when turned on, you have to turn them off on). a few times to make them work properly) even with fresh batteries.

Pros
  • So far I like everything
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
