Pros: Price, presence of auxiliary AF lights, orientable flash.

Cons: Constructive quality, especially of the built-in white reflector.

Opinion: I chose this flash with Nikon attack. The value for money satisfied me. Maybe I do not recommend it for professional use but, as in my case, you can bring home excellent results with very nice and soft lights (especially if you use it as a bounce light). I use it to work in the premises and events - I stress that for professional use is not very suitable, but if like me you are looking for your first flash then I recommend it. It has red lights for the auxiliary AF, the head of the flash is orientable and has, although fragile, the white diffuser. For my use "advanced amateur" goes more than well and has always satisfied me and my clients with whom I worked.

Pros: price

Cons: resistance

Opinion: My first sled flash. As a neophyte, I "learned" to use it, even without manual in Italian. I've been inspired by the NINON NON-line tutorials. Very satisfied with the results I was producing. Unfortunately, after a couple of years of amateur use, has stopped working. That is, it only emits 1/1 flash and I can not measure the flash. Even in TTL. Maybe it's a little damage but in Italy there are no assistance centers, as far as I know. Sorry, many of my friends own the same product, there is help ... I think, given the price, today even cheaper, I'll take another one. Rn

Pros: Performance / price.

Cons: Constructively not great: rnle rotations of the head are a bit 'jerky.

Opinion: I personally have never tried a SB910 and SB700, so do not know if this device is able to fully replace them, but I must say that the impressions that I am having are good. The rotation of the head on two axes is essential for me, and also those 7 ° more on the horizontal axis. Unfortunately, its movement is not smooth, but rather jerky, and this is the only negative I am having this YN.rnPer the rest, has everything I was cercando.rnIl manual is is tight, but after all the use of these devices is fairly intuitive, and are four main functions: mode (TTL, manual, triggers) focal length, compensation, type of flash ... rnMi like because no scorches pictures. It has a background haze I'm trying to govern. Leave a few dominant, in general (red / yellow), correctable via SW.rnDa expert NOT flash devices, I can be satisfied with the shopping, which corresponds to 1/5 of theprice of the Nikon SB910, so I'd say it's worth groped this strada.rnLa external transmitter and the pair triggers are sold separately at a total cost of about 120-130 €.

Pros: Quality / unbeatable price, easy to use, powerful (guide number 58)

Cons: Manual ridiculous instructions

Opinion: Not being a big flash user, I had still the need for sporadic cases, and after reading great reviews on this generalized model I wanted to try it. The results are satisfactory, it has definitely proved reliable even in situations where I would not have thought that we could do it. I use both manually and multi without difficulty, from the maximum ttl proving himself properly balanced.

Pros: Excellent value for money. If features are not required "professional" covers properly the need for a flash.

Cons: It does not have the ability to have an external power supply.

Opinion: Purchased to compensate for the lack of a flash in "low light" has proved as an excellent product reviews. Indeed, the accompanying documentation is sparse but on the Internet there are translations and additions apply. I am having never used a flash I got immediately felt at ease. With a few Euros you can have a surface-mount speaker that does its job very well. For me, the fan cheaply ... proved to be a good buy. I do not regret having preferred to 700 nikon.

Pros: Excellent value for money

Cons: Very little supporting documentation, slow charging, white reflector built quite weak.

Opinion: Bought to learn to use a flash that could do more than on-camera, after evaluating hundreds of reviews. The building looks pretty good and the use is very simple. Although the documentation, in English, is written by suck, do not need to know a lot to learn to use it. I had read a bit 'of how the external flash, the use of the parable, the power and the i-TTL, in less than ten minutes I did the first shots and then smoothly. Used in a couple of events has not had no problem. I have the impression that the charging time between a flash and the other is a bit 'slow, but I have terms of comparison with other products. Let's say you set the burst to 4 fps, it illuminates only the first shot, the other three do not. The subsequent burst, ditto. Maybe I have yet to find the right settings, I do not know. For the rest, good battery life, using it to power the default, in i-TTL I did about 180 shots lit without changing batteries. I have the impression that the movement of the headIt has become a bit 'more fluid after an afternoon of use, at the beginning it was harder. We hope that the plastic holding the head in the rotated position do not consume too much and it proves impossible to secure it as wanted. rnEDIT 01/13/2016: RNLA head does not yield, the rotation has softened on the first day but then the hardness of the movement is no longer cambiata.rnRiguardo the recharge time I did experiment with the flash in manual (no i-TTL ) to control the power. Settings: 1/60, f / 2.8, 35mm, ISO100. 4 fps for bursts of 1s, then four shots: rn- First burst, 1/1 power, illuminates only the first. rn- Second burst, 1/2 power, illuminates only the first. rn- Third burst, 1/4 power, lights the first and second. rn- Fourth burst, 1/8 power, illuminates all four. rnSparando single shots, it takes more than 1/1 to 2/2 of range to recharge and get both shots illuminated. rn

Pros: Features almost professional and quality / price ratio

Cons: For now nothing

Opinion: I own it for almost a year and I use it only when they are forced to use the flash (I prefer the light environment). So I can not consider myself a "lampista". In any case, he never missed a shot though, when shooting with reflected light, it tends to underexpose slightly. However simple correction in the room or in post production. The power is remarkable, good build quality and the price makes it accessible to all.
