I've looked very long and hard at this flash. Read the reviews. They all say the same thing. Half of these arrive broken with no way to return them to china in time to get an exchange. If you can get one at b&h that's better cuz you can return it at least. Other problem is that they tend to work for a month or two and the capacitors die. I guess you get what you pay for. Their wireless system is decent though. There are probably better options even used at that price point. The vivtars are rebranded, but reliable...though new they cost a bit more. An old autothyristor would actually serve well if you translate the focal lengths provided your lucky enough to find a zoom head. For off camera flashes firing at lower power than 1/1, these cheap flashes do make a nice lighting addition with some diffusion.
