Questions & Answers

Shopper : can this work with my sony a58?CHARLES R : I have a similar model for both my Sony and my Olympus Both seem to work OKRALPH O : Do idea if it will work with a Sony camera. It did not work with my Nikon which it was supposed too, so I returned it. I would not buy it. Adarama was easy to work with as always when returning a product.PATRICIA H : This may help you to decide if you want this product. When I use this flash it is not mounted on my cameras shoe. I use it as a remote flash to supplement the built in flash on my camera. When the flash is in remote mode, it detectsThe flash from the pop up flash built into the camera by means of a sensor on the Bower, therefore used in this way, this unit will work with any camera that has a built-in flash. Since I am not familiar with Sony products, I cannot answer as to the compatibility of unit being shoe mounted.CHARLES R : I have this flash for my panasonic & and a simCarlos C : I don't know. I am not a Sony user. SorryBERNHARD H : Yes, if you buy the type with the Sony/Minolta/Konica flash shoe.TOM S : Not a clue. You should be asking Adorama.
John M : will the ttl feature work on a Sony nex-6?VIJAY S : Will not work on Sony as far as I know.
CARLISLE W : The specs say it has a built in "slave" mode or feature. Does this mean that it can be triggered by the Phottix transmitter on my a700? Thanks for you time! Regards, CarlisleBERNHARD H : I think so but have not tried. The power switch on my flash got mashed in my camera bag and I can no longer turn it on...

I recommend this product

The versatility of this product is what makes it especially useful. It swivels from left to right as well as up and down, and therefore can be used in a variety of situations.

Nice Features

The add said this flash would work as a slave unit. My pctures turned out dark when I used this as a slave unit. I don't know if it's my camera or the flash. It worked very nicely on camera, so I'm assuming its the way I was trying to use the flash. I was very dissappointed in the slow 10 to 12 second recycle time after a full blast.

fabulous!

I use this product when I take portraits. It adds so much lighting and sharpness to the shot. I like how it can bounce light around to avoid deep shadows.

Improved my Pictures

I have only had the flash a couple of weeks, but I can already see the improvement in my photos. I can't afford the high dollar Nikon flashes but this one has done everything I have needed it to do.

Not the best..

I bought this product when I lost my other external flash. This flash has a very slow recovery time. It also sometimes will produce too much flash and then too little flash for the same shot. But for the money you pay for it, it can be ok. It is very light weight and fits onto my sony dslr easily.

Works beautifully!

This works great with my Panasonic DMC-FZ100. It also functions perfectly as a slave flash on a stand for more dramatic lighting.

You can not beat it for the price. I have only shot about 120 picks with it and the alkaline's lasted for all 120 pics

Good for the price

I use the flash in racing photography. So far the light has yet to turn green so i mostly use it in manual mode. So much for being compatible in ttl mode

DOES NOT COME WITH FLASH STAND

The flash works great, but the picture above on the website is misleading. The flash does NOT come with the flash stand (to be used when in slave mode).

Great Flash!

This flash is great! I had read other online reviews stating it was loud when recharging. You do hear some noise, but its not overly loud by any means. It has a quick recycle time and high output, the built in diffuser works superb! Love the swivel, bounce and zoom feature on this. For the price, it is definitely worth it and compares very well to other high priced flashes!
