" ... Update: Becoming disappointed with the flashes . ... "
" ... It did all that I needed it too, and was not too heavily used, but only lasted about 4.5 months before not working at all. ... That's kinda disappointing, and I expected a much longer lifespan. ... "
" ... I gave so few stars for 2 reasons: the first being the zipper on the case for the flash broke immediately. ... "
" ... Product stopped working after just one hour of use. ... "
" ... One of them actually started smoking when I was shooting one time. ... "
" ... These worked great until, in the same day, the battery door on one broke and the other one just stopped working. ... "
" ... However, the first time I took the flash out to actually use it, it died. ... The only thing I've figured out so far is to the use the strobe setting on the flash and have it strobe for 1/2 second or so to overlap whenever the shutter releases. ... "
" ... Used for one photoshoot in the last 3 months(only one at night where I needed it) and it burnt out after three flashes. ... "
