It will die on you

I own four of these units. The specs are very appealing. Nice having the battery built in for on location shooting, etc. Overall I am actually quite happy with them except for one thing. Sooner or later you will get a "pop" and a puff of smoke and it won't work. Something faulty in the circuitry of the motherboard. This same thing has just happened to the THIRD one out of four. I was in the middle of a studio session. The light was on the stand. I went to turn it on and "pop!" So now I am looking at a repair estimate (it took a month just to get the estimate) for $. That is more than half the cost of a new unit. Not sure what to do ... (the estimate says I have to pay a bench fee if I refuse

Powerful might not recommended for baby photography

It's a good light but manual power only goes down to 2. If you want lower power for baby photography etc with wide apertures it is too powerful unless you make add on extra diffusers ( it was still too powerful with a softbox for me.

Best flash I ever own!!!! Nice Even Light and With Hss!!!!!!!

500Ws monolight with HSS and TTL for Canon, Nikon and Sony. The S1a is the AC-powered counterpart to the award-winning S1 and contains all of the same intelligent TTL and HSS technology.

• Through The Lens Metering in TTL Mode uses the S1a's entire 9-stop power range (500W - 1.9Ws) and is automatically calculated in 1/10th stop increments and allows for +/- 3 stops of exposure compensation
• Manual Mode utilizes the entire 9-stop power range, controllable in 1/10th stop increments
• High Speed Sync in Manual Mode at up to 1/8000th of a second shutter speed using the top 3 stops in the power range and is manually adjustable in 1/10-stop increments
• Fast Recycle Time of only 2 seconds at full power allows for rapid shooting in a fast-paced studio environment.
• Color Accurate to within +/-100 Kelvin using high-tech insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) technology
• Short Flash Duration for freezing action and sports motion between 1/1000th of a second to 1/9000th depending on power output using IGBT technology.
• Integrated Wireless System with remote TTL flash exposure compensation and manual power control in three groups from camera position using the S1 Remotes for Canon, Nikon or Sony (sold separately)
• Frosted Glass Dome softens and disperses light evenly through large and small light modifiers alike, from large octaboxes to small beauty dishes and reflectors while protecting the user-replaceable flash tube
• Aluminum Construction with an attractive matte finish gives the unit greater heat dispersion, durability and weight-to-rigidity efficiency
• Firmware Upgradeable via Micro USB Port for future fixes and features
• Bowens S-Type Mount is compatible with a large scope of adapter rings and modifiers such as softboxes, reflectors and grids
