The light does everything I ask of it.

It arrived in great condition, but I was unable to use it because I misread the information on its connections. Lesson learned, read the box!

Been using these for several years now for product photography for my web site. Plenty of power for my application (musical instruments), and they have held up well and been very consistent. The one caveat that I would offer is to shoot a white balance if getting the color right is critical. I was using camera presets, and all my color matching problems went away when I started shooting white balances with the strobes. I don't know whether that's a common problem, but it's easily solved and the first thing I should have tried when color bias problems showed up.

Super easy to use. Great for backlighting your subject! Use a cloth to make the lighting a little more "dim" during a front side portrait. WORKS great!!

Slave mode worked perfectly. Can’t ask too much for something this cheap

For educational purposes, this is more than enough. The flash is strong enough to get amazing results. It is easy to work with, there are no complicated functions on this. It suits my purposes, I am satisfied.

It’s light and small perfect for what I need. I have used about everything that is out there and this is a great beginner product very forgiving for the beginner.

Great Flash for serious amateurs. The only drawback is it doesn't have a Bowens mount. Adorama does have a very fine mount available to fit it. This is a great buy!

Good bang for the buck. (Too bad they discontinued the colored covers though.), They responded well in optical slave mode without any misfires.

I think I could have bought more expensive gear and been less happy. It does exactly what I need it to do in a simple studio situation. Perfect in it's price range. Only reason it didn't get 5 stars is that I had connectivity issues that were easily (and also cheaply) rectified with adding a remote trigger system (my cameras weren't able to directly connect)

For the price your getting a very nice studio flash. The 160 watt is plenty of flash for a home or small based studio. bought 1 to try and after use bought a second one because it functioned so well. flash and model light are perfect lighting. Well made and constructed, especially like the long power cord included. Well worth the 69 bucks and would strongly recommend to anyone thinking about purchasing !!

Great portable units, have used my two strobes for three years on location and in studio. WELL BUILT, compact, pairs well with diffusion umbrellas. No proactive caps, I use small food storage bowls to cover the modeling lamp and element when in travel bag. Bowls and tool bag purchased at Walmart.

This flash is a lot of bang for the buck. If it lasts for a normal lifespan, it will be one of our best purchases. Lots of power, light and slave ready.

These are what they are and they work well. Perfect for starting out. I have two and it is plenty light light for light studio work f/8 to f/11. I had to replace one the other day after 10 years of very light service. I used one alone in the meantime and I would say that you need two of these. More if you are shooting a big family on location. Still, they are worth it. My results are great with these. Only problem I’ve had is the slaves don’t always work, so I just tether them to my camera. More reliable that way.

Much better quality than I expected

Super value for the price. There are really no cons except maybe that the modeling light is variable according power output. i.e. if you have dialed it down to the lowest setting the modeling light is barely visible. Other than that they are great. I have used many strobes over the years. If you do not need wireless 2.4 this is the way to go.

It was relatively inexpensive but robust and performs up to expectations

I needed a lightweight, yet powerful for outdoor portraits. It didn't need to have its own power source so this was perfect. It works great.

For what I needed it for it works perfect. The price is great for what you get. I made my own adapter so that it fit other softboxes.

I live these for snooting and shaping light with barndoors. They;re great for rim lighting and as hair lights too. Anywhere you are tight on space but still need a monolight, consider these first.

great value, I use these all around the dance floor.

Due to it's size it is great for traveling light and still having nice lighting.

Love this monolight. I’m a portrait photographer. I used this strobe for headshots and portraits sessions. It’s pretty powerful. I use the smallest set up. If you have a small studio like I do, this one is perfect for you.

I have only used it a few times, but so far it has been dependable and recharges quickly, even on high.

First, this is a Neewer/Godox 300WS monolight rebranded by Adorama. But since it is sold by Adorama, they guarantee it however I've had these beginning on 2014 and all are working perfectly. Output is consistant and recycle time is relatively quick (< 2 sec). I've used these as slave monolights with speedlghts and also triggered by wireless switches and all work well. For the price you really can't find a better deal
