I use 2 of these, and i can tell they're full of defects: One of the power dials failed on the first month of use. When AC is enabled sometimes the equipment will electricaly shock if touched. The incline system looks like will not hold on for much longer since the plastic flattens more on each use. The flash detection sensor its not that good. I had to put a tape on it so it can work a bit better. One of the flash heads overheated and burn while i was shooting. I think the built in fan stopped working for no reason. And,,, its ugly. But hey, its cheap, can't expect perfection. Thats why i'm buying another.

I have three of these now. I use them for a portable studio with a DC battery pack I made. They work flawlessly and have consistant Color and and light output. They are small enough that I can pack all 3 in a wheeled carry on bag. Allows for a nice 3 light travel studio. I just put the stands and umbrellas in a checked bag. I have used 2 of these for about 4 years and have never had an issue with them. Great product at a great price!

I like the design of the flash head for users to replace by themselve whenever neccessary. The power of 400WS is more than enough for me both AC and DC. The battery really holds charge and never miss a single firing. The battery body is so small and light in weight for carrying. Well done, JTL.
