Review on Neewer VISION5 400Ws 2.4G TTL Flash Strobe: Nikon πŸ“Έ DSLR Compatible, HSS Monolight with Wireless Trigger and Long-lasting Battery by Brandon Hilton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great flashes, good for camera and photography

I bought two Vision 5 flashes (for Canon) a few months ago. I've used them indoors and outdoors. They are very light and the batteries last a long time, even when using modeling lights. I also noticed that the batteries charge quickly, so downtime is kept to a minimum. Love the fact that you can hold the flashes in your hands and also mount them on stands. The shutter button works fine but make sure it fits snugly on the camera's hot shoe or you might get some misfires, especially when holding the camera in portrait mode. A few days ago I bought a third flash. , but I made the mistake of ordering the Nikon version instead of the Canon version. What I found out myself and confirmed through discussions with the seller is that the flashes work correctly with either version of the trigger (Canon or Nikon). This means that since I already have Canon triggers from my two original flashes, I can still perfectly control all the functions of my new flash. And the new Nikon trigger communicates with all my off-camera flashes. It just doesn't work properly when I connect it to a Canon hot shoe. I didn't want to mess with the trigger and strobe returns so I decided to keep them. My friend takes photos with a Nikon. If I ever lend him my flashes he can use a Nikon trigger. You see, everything works out in the end.

Pros
  • Great for small households
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
