After extensive review of inexpensive portable slave flashes, I bought two of these for my portable speedlight kit. Used as kickers, hair lights and for fill, especially for architectural interior shots. A little slow to recycle, but fantastic performance for under $20/unit. Consistent output and doesn't add a lot of weight to porta-kit or camera bag. Great when you need that little "boost".

These were perfect for my purposes. I used two of them, firing through a light tent to light up butterfly specimens for a scientist's project. Triggered by my camera's flash on a tripod attached by a cord, it was easy to move the flashes in or out to adjust the exposure. I shot with the camera tethered to the computer so I could see each shot immediately at full size on the computer screen.

Bought this slave flash for testing lighting methods before investing the big bucks. Mostly using it for fill light and simple tests. Works very well when bounced off of walls and is small so you can hide it within your photos when necessary. Great price for a nice product.

Handy little unit for fill. Can't beat the price. Doesn't take up much space, and can be placed in a variety of locations with the adjustible prop lever. An unknown: how long is its lifespan? For what it costs and does, I would expect a year to two with typical use.

great little light for the price. No its not top quality but at this price its a trow away. Works great for that little extra light you need sometimes.It will fire on pre flashes and red eye reduction.
