Review on πŸ“Έ Neewer Photographic Speedlite Flash Color Gel Lighting Filter Kit - 2.5x5.5 inches, 20-Piece Set, Compatible with Canon Nikon Olympus Panasonic Pentax Konica Metz Minolta Neewer Flash and Other Speedlight by Alicia Moore

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great little speedlite except it turns itself off every 60 seconds! Follow the red light!

The Speedlight flash fires well and reliably, except that it has a power saving feature that turns it off after 60 seconds of inactivity. The manufacturer claims that you can override or reprogram it to extend this period, but the manual says nothing about changing this setting and despite the manufacturer's insistence, I have not been able to figure out how. What's more, while the manual says you can turn the light on after it's turned off by pressing any button, my experience is that you can only turn it back on by toggling the switch off and on again. Annoying to say the least. In addition, the instructions say that the indicator is green, in fact it is red and only red. Should there be instructions for a different model?

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Minor issues
