Anyone experience this flash? Sounds pretty good based on the video? What do you think is worth buying?




My budget for flash is € 300

Suggest a good flash for me! :)

Hi Wizardinvestor Wizardinvestor :)

This flash has a good reputation with a lot of macro photographers. I did a little research into this flash a while back: The main thing that I like is that unlike regular flashes your are able to offset the angle at which the flashes hit the subject, i would never light a subject from the same angle as my camera in other photo styles so i think this a great way to light up a macro subject. My one reservation is that I have seen reports that those flexible arms are not as durable as some expected so they have to be treated carefully. I have no personal experience with the flash myself this is just information I have found online so your experience may vary.

I know some macrophotographers who've got this flash (sold by many sellers like Venus Optics) and it's a really good flash. Thomas Shahan is a god of macrophotography and he uses this flash all the time.
