Worked great for 2 days then would no longer sync with camera flash while underwater. We could get it to work in the hotel room and on the dive boat but it quit working where we needed it. (Underwater) The controls on the housing are not very good and the 2 AAA batteries don't last for 2 dives. It does however deliver a very bright flash. Even on the "MIN" setting some photos were overexposed. The flexible arms worked great but the arms and tray don't fit into the bag that comes with the kit. We returned it for something better.
