For the price the flash is quite good

I am using this on a Panasonic GX1 micro 4/3 Camera. For the price the flash is quite good. The light quality is very nice especially if you bounce the light off a wall or standard height ceiling. The refresh is not bad with a fresh set of batteries but it does dwindle fast. the balance isn't bad but I'm still getting use to holding a micro 4/3 camera over a dslr. with the flash mounted on the camera you may need to use a second hand but you need to be sure that you don't cover any o the sensors. This flash takes a little bit of playing around with to get things just right but once you get the hang of it it's pretty good. It's not as fool proof as a canon flash on a Canon DSLR setup. The real issue I have is with the swivel and rotation of the head. It has stopping point so if you like to bounce the flash off the ceiling and you change orientation of the camera and you need to change the rotation 180 degrees, you will find that it goes 90 degrees and then won't go anymore. You have to rotate it backwards 270 to get to that point. Otherwise a great flash for the price.
