- Decent build - Easy to use - Charges fast - Decent feature set - Excellent price I really wanted to like this flash, however... - Flimsy PC connector - Neither S1 nor S2 slave modes work consistently - Power levels were not linear as inverse powers of two. Sometimes steps are half of the previous and sometimes not. Sent back to Amazon for replacement and... - Amazon was very responsive and the replacement was received within a few days - Slave modes worked on copy #2 - PC sync fitting was still very loose from the factory - Flash failed completely after less that two dozen firings When I attempted to replace with a third copy, I was told by customer service that the flash had been pulled from active listing for evaluation of faults. I was given a refund and will not be purchasing again.

Another example of getting what you paid for. Within two minutes of turning it on I heard a loud pop from inside the flash followed by a buzzing sound.Then liquid started leaking out of the battery compartment. At first I thought a battery (fresh RayOvacs) had exploded. Removing the batteries, they all looked intact with no signs of physical damage. I later confirmed they were all good with a volt meter. What really happened was evident. One of the internal electrolytic capacitors, possibly the one storing the charge for the flash, had exploded and leaked electrolyte. Absolutely cannot recommend this product. Returned for credit.

Install Flash Player I bought two of these because theyre so inexpensive, but you get what you pay for with these. One wouldnt work, it would power up but then it would lock up and all the lights would just blink; like it was caught in a power-on self-test. The other flash works great and I can trigger it with my D90 in commander mode. They feel cheap , but I really cant expect anything better for the price and the one is working well. I returned the other and of course Amazon refunded the cost as soon as I dropped it off at the UPS. Would I buy again? Probably so since Amazon has such a great return policy and they refund quickly. I dont do a lot of photography with flashes which is why I went this route instead of buying Nikon or some of the other big brand names, but if you plan on using the flashes a lot I would recommend going with a better brand. *** UPDATE 11.11.2018 *** Because the price dropped, I decided to try one more and it didnt work either. Same problem as the last problem unit. I turned it on and all the lights stayed on and blinked, never stopped and never worked. Cheap, cheap, cheap! Ill never buy these again.

This product is dangerous. I have another speedlight and it has never done what this Amazon Basics speedlight has done. It overheats to the point of no longer working, and when I removed the batteries last night at a photoshoot during a church recital, I had to let them drop on the floor. They were so hot. Id like to return it for a refund, but since I dont do flash photography as often as I do natural light photography, I did not discover that it was faulty in time for return. I will never buy an Amazon Basics speedlight again, and will think twice about future Amazon Basics purchases. I will say that although I waited past the time to return the faulty speedlight, Amazon gave me a full refund anyway.

I thought this would be a good quality product based on the reviews, but it’s not. I just revived mine last week and I’ve already had to replace the batteries three times. The batteries only last one session. I take a couple photos with my camera each day, and the batteries only last me a couple photos. I’m able to continue using the device as long as I don’t turn it off. The batteries don’t quit working when in use. However, when I turn the device back on after an hour or so of rest, the lights work but the flash will not even test. It’s so wasteful to keep putting in new batteries every time I need use this device. Am I doing something wrong? I’ve read the manual... amazon already replaced my device and here I am again having the SAME problem.
