But the best part is:

Love learning how to use this ring flash. It's well made, reasonably priced, and has enough basic options (side-light, constant-light, warm/cold/diffuse lenses) to meet all my needs. Adapter and there is no adapter for 72mm and when I contacted the manufacturer about this they immediately sent me an adapter for 72mm. No fuss, no fuss, just customer satisfaction. way to go.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Unreliable

WORKS GREAT FOR PORTRAIT FILL FLASH WHEN YOUR OTHER LIGHTING IS GOOD

NOTE. I ONLY USE THIS AS A HEAD FILL FLASH. crazy price of around $50! It's not a rugged device, but I only use it for photographing actors/models, not for hiking in the desert for close-up shots of exotic plants. I'm sure it would be excellent but maybe not durable enough that it's all plastic. In terms of battery consumption, it lasts a very long time even when running at full capacity, which is what I do when filming clients. seems to last at least 4 shots before needing extra batteries. I…

Pros
  • Few Competitors
Cons
  • Volume

I'm just so annoyed

That's DOA. I tried three different sets of batteries, they all worked in my other flash, and when I held the start button everything I did flickered. I tried the pilot button to make sure it was only one screen, but now. I'm so annoyed now. I was waiting for this as I do a lot of macro work, but I was very disappointed that it didn't even flicker. I'm considering trying another brand. Aside from not working, the design seems shaky.

Pros
  • macro and ring flash
Cons
  • I'll write later

You get what you pay for

Considering it's about 10% the cost of a premium ring flash, that's quite a bit of what you get. Mounting rings are cheap plastic and difficult to fit into one of my lenses. If you're shooting at 77mm you won't be able to screw this attachment all the way to the lens or the ring flash will just pop off. The option to set the flash is also practically non-existent. It may not be compatible with my Canon 6D Mark II, but I didn't notice any difference when adjusting the power. Although the left…

Pros
  • Camera and Photo
Cons
  • Legacy Model

I SEE A RING in the picture!

Funny! I SEE A RING in my photos! I have two wide angle lenses, one 28-135mm (diameter 72mm) and the other 19-35mm (diameter 77mm). In both cases I see light when I attach it to the lens. It looks like I'm watching a 1970's TV movie through binoculars. The light itself seems to work well and I really wanted to use it, but had to zoom in a lot to bypass the light or drastically crop each image. It's just really, really stupid. Okay, I've spent a few hours on this. I can't say good things, rather

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Slightly torn
