    TREMENDOUS VALUE FOR THE MONEY

    I've worked with various flash units over the years, and found this to be more than adequate for indoor photos. I actually use a Nikon that has a built in pop up flash which is strong enough, but doesn't have a hot shoe to attach an additional flash. this unit works GREAT as a slave unit, and fired from any position I placed it in the room. Actually the combination of using both flashes at the same time actually was less intense than my main flash only; and tended to provide a more even light distribution to bring out details that could be washed out. I've been doing photography for over 60 years, and have found Vivitar to be an extremely reliable, dependable, and well priced brand. Newer flash units are VERY expensive, and honestly I haven't found all the extras worth the price. It's the ...

  • Top critical review

    Very cheaply made, you won't believe how cheap it is

    First I would like to say the flash works as advertised. The only glitch I've had is it going off in bright sunlight randomly, since I don't use a flash on daylight this isn't an issue. Build quality, I had to glue the hingr together right out of the box. It's held together with a couple stickers with metal brackets stuck to them. I feel as though this thing will fall apart at any moment. I do not believe this flash will not last more than a few months in my camera bag, let alone use.

  • So far so good

    First off let me say this, I have not had a lot of chances to use it but the few times I have it has worked fine. That aside I was some what leery of buying it after I had read a number of negative reviews on Amazon but I decided to take a chance on it. One of the reasons is the name (Vivitar) and the price. Some of the negative reviews were complaints about the battery cover coming off or not holding the batteries in place preventing the flash not to function properly. I do not know what those reviewers are doing if they are tossing the flash into the Grand Canyon or what but I have had no problems with the battery cover. The only thing I have done was to remove the rubber strip from the flash bracket but that is all I have done. As for batteries I use duracell quantum batteries because ...

  • Three are great, one is not

    One of the flashes has a hard time reacting to other flashes, as a slave flash. I ordered four; three are perfectly responsive, one is not.

  • Just what I was looking for

    I'm just getting into photography as a hobby. I was looking for an inexpensive flash and this looked like a good starter. So far it does everything I wanted it to. Cycle time is really fast like a couple of seconds.
