Your satisfaction will depend on your expectations

I've been wanting to light up some of my macro shots. First the bad. -Build quality is bad, it feels like a cheap toy. -Fit and finish are not good. So the way the parts operate in conjunction with each other isn't good and I have low confidence that they will hold up over time. -Ergonomics are not good. Switches are unlabelled, but this thing is simple anyway. Would be nice to have a quick release on the ring flash rather than threading it on/off when not in use. The good. -Having a flash with an optional ring flash is brilliant. Why more companies aren't doing this I have no idea. -It does the job. Lighting seems about right. The meh. - Price point. I don't feel ripped off, but on the whole it seems overpriced for what's in the box. Paying a little for the novelty of a ring flash. - Ring flash could stand a little more diffusion. Overall. It will serve it's function. I use external flashes rarely. I wanted 1 flash that could do either rooms or closeups. I wish a company with higher quality products would make something like this.

Dual flash

Good out-put for in-doors pictures, but still need to check how it works with ring light

Good bang for buck

I use this with a 85mm macro lens. Great combination. Light output is very adequate for close ups. Don't expect to use it for portraits. Works fantastic for macro shots.
