Review Summary

Rated 4 out of 5

Convenient and always ready to go

Of course I would prefer that the Nikon V1 (& V2) had a standard hot-shoe but this little thing is great. I love that it has no batteries of its own and is always ready to go when the camera is if I need it. In addition to being just powerful enough for most of my needs, with its 2-axis swivel head I can use it to trigger my studio lights without lighting the scene if I don't feel like setting up the DSLR. I know the newer SB-N7 is more powerful with it's own batteries but its head only swivels on 1-axis so this little thing works perfectly for me.
