Fast recycle time
No light drop off on that second or third shot when using flash

I like the compact size and the extra power it provides.Works like expexcted. Needs a belt clip, not the belt loop. I have it hanging of my camera strap.

Bought as a back up when shooting fast situations.

Overall performs very well. Quick recharge during full power flash use. Wish it had included a strap to hang over the shoulder. However I found that if you lace the camera strap thru the belt loop on the back of the case it will hang on your camera strap and still be close enough for the cable to attach to your flash.

This device needs a strap. If I had realized that it didn't have one, I may not have ordered it. There is a place for a strap so why not include one for this price?

I use the this to provide faster recycle times and so I don't have to swap out batteries in my SB-800. So far I have used it at 1 high school swim meet. I noticed after about 150 shots it started to take bit longer to recycle. I plan on testing it out more but I am definitely glad I purchased it!

This battery pack is lighter than most for flash and camera . The only thing I don't like is it doesn't have a led light to let you know the batteries are getting low.

I use the SB 8A with the Nikon SB800 and the SB80 on a D2x and D200 as backup. The recycle time on the flashes are almost instantaneous with the SB8A and I use AA rechargable batteries that I got at Sams that seem to last forever. I nearly 700 shots using the initial charge before it slowed down. Highly recommended. The connecting cord is a pain most of the time, but necessary.

Shooting bicycle racing with an SB800 to throw some light on the riders faces. Fast cycling is necessary - and this is much better than the standard battery pack. It could be better - it doesn't keep up with the camera, and I'd prefer if the cord orientation was opposite (so the wires came into the flash from the other side). But - it does what it does, and that's a pretty good thing.
