Review on Flash X-Tender FX-4 Flash Output Booster for Nikon πŸ’‘ SB-600 and SB-800 Flashes with 300mm Lenses - Better Beamer by Tina Zeiher

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better projector, REQUIRED for bird/wildlife photography

I built my own version and it kind of worked. Then I met the photographer at Lake Balboa, California. who filmed with Better Beamer. He let me try my hardware, then I dropped the homemade version and bought it. I've found this to be effective up to about 100 feet with my setup. Also a bit doubtful. Being able to fold it flat is a big plus. It is not indestructible, but with care it will last a long time. Here's a photo I took along the Los Angeles River in Glendale, California. You can see the area covered by the beam. The specifications of this shot are f/6.3@1/2000, ISO 800, Sigma 150-500 @ 400mm, Nikon SB-800.

Pros
  • Always excited
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
