I bought this to replace a small non-TTL flash I had that broke.  So far it works fine.  I typically use it for close up/macro photos so it is plenty powerful enough for that.  I haven't tried all the features yet but it works with TTL and it's easy to adust the manual power levels too.

So Far So Good

Small, light work. Recharges reasonably fast. Seems to work adequately for general use.  Not as consistent as units costing 20 times as much, but there again, my conditions were not particularly consistent.

It's a very useful accessory, for a ($) camera that Canon  forgot to include a flash in.

Only used it a few times……

I purchased several other flash units for a specific project I was working on.  And didn't see the Mini-Speedlight until late in the going.  

Turns out that was the only gizmo I really needed.  It does everything I've asked it to do.

All that I need

Nice and small, not especially powerful, but really useful if you have the extension cable.

great for the price

Shot with a 7D mark II and had no problems at all. Use it mainly for fill in when shooting players as they pose for their FaceBook picture. Like the small size and easy enough to throw some extra AA batteries in the bag.

Small is good....

This is a good service....

Fully manual or fully aromatic. Not sure what the usb connection is for... It did not communicate with my Mac so it might just be PC friendly

Works great

This is advertised as a TTL flash, but it does not work at all.  All shots are way over exposed in TTL.  I had to set my camera to sync at 180 and stop down to F14 to get a so so picture.  My two Canons are perfect in TTL and I was very surprised at the poor performance.

Not Impreessed at all

Flashpoint TTL Mini Speedlite used with Nikon D800

Description:
- low price, compact, hot-shoe-mounted, TTL compatible, accessory speedlight
- basically, an alternative replacement for the Nikon SB-400
- uses two AA batteries
- remembers previous settings
- well-made (e.g. metal mounting foot, has locking pin)

Pros vs. Nikon SB-400:
- has manual mode with user selectable 1/128 to full power
- has strobe mode with selectable # of flashes and strobe time
- user adjustable power even in TTL mode
- LED display shows camera and flash status 
- USB interface for future upgrades
- comparable exposures compared to SB-400
- works with any other camera in manual or stroboscopic mode!

Cons vs. Nikon SB-400:
- no swivel flash
- slightly larger
- slightly heavier
- over-exposure in TTL mode (however, globally correctable in my case by setting -2.0 compensation for TTL mode)

Issues:
- I was not able to get this flash to expose properly with my Nikon P7700 in TTL mode (note: the SB-400 works splendidly with this same camera)

Works well with my Nikon D800

The only reason that I gave this a 4 star vs. a 5 star is because I'm not convinced the TTL is spot on, but at this price point, I am still satisfied. It's nice to have a hotshoe style speedlite that is so compact, so lightweight and has both TTL and Manual features. I did several test shots with it in both TTL and Manual and got good exposures 15ft. away on f/11. It has enough power in a small package for most candid type shooting. I plan to use the flash as an extra one to have in my bag because sometimes having a flash as a go to is better than no flash at all. I purchased it mainly because of the price point, the size/weight and that it had TTL as well as manual. I am very pleased with my initial images.
