Powerextra LCD Display Flash Speedlite, 2.4G Wireless Flash Trigger Transmitter Kit for CA Nikon Pentax Panasonic Olympus and Sony DSLR Camera, Digital Cameras with Standard Hot Shoe

Llego en 5 días a Colombia, cumple todas las expectativas.

Used this for a sunset shoot with the sun behind the subjects. Set it and left it and worked fine for my wife who doesn’t have any experience with flashes. My experience is also limited with flash so I haven’t played with a lot of settings, used rechargeable batteries in it and it didn’t drain them too fast or anything.

If you do not want to pay the high prices for camera flashes made by the camera manufacturers, there are a plethora of offerings from Chinese manufacturers. The Chinese are so prolific, they have drove out of business third-party flash manufacturers from all other countries, such as Germany, Singapore and Taiwan. Among the Chinese manufacturers, the largest is Godox, and Yongnuo the second largest. (Godox has been steadily taking market share from Yongnuo.) Mostly Godox and Yongnuo sell in the USA under their own brand name. The Chinese web site AliExpress shows numerous other brand names not available in this country, but it is unclear if those brands are sales channels or manufacturers. There are countless other second and third tier manufacturers which are usually sold under the brand name of their sales outlets or importers. This flash seems to be made by either CensReal (see Censreal.com) or Number King Tech (see cnnbk.com), for sale by Powerextra in this country.Although there are numerous manufacturers, all their products seem to be peas in a pod. They are almost all ~195 mm long when measured with the flash head in an up pointing position, and weight a bit less than 400 grams without batteries, and take 4 AA batteries. So they are huge; I see few that take only 2 batteries. Unlike camera manufacturers, who only make auto TTL flashes, the Chinese manufacturers make both auto TTL flashes and manual only flashes. I have found that their auto flashes do not make reliable exposures under all conditions, so I would stick to manual only flashes from the Chinese. To properly expose with one of these flashes, there are a number of steps: you first have to change the camera mode from Auto or Program to Aperture Priority, and change camera ISO from Auto to a suitable-for-the-lighting-level fixed ISO. Then estimate distance to the subject, and divide that distance into a flash guide number to get a lens aperture setting for proper exposure. Then after this you could open the aperture more, increase the ISO, and reduce the flash power output proportionally to get a flash + existing light picture. (I have a spreadsheet for the Numbers App on the iPhone which calculates all this.)So if you decide to save a few hundred dollars by foregoing the camera manufacturer flash, and calculate the manual exposure as described above, then the question becomes which flash is the best value. The outright best is the Godox V850III, but it is the most expensive. It features a bespoke lithium battery, which is still rare in flashes. So what are other less costly options? Things to look for amongst the other offerings are a hot-shoe mount trigger included in the box (so you don’t have to buy the trigger separately), an LCD screen, high speed sync, flash group control, an auto-focus assist light, a video light, a zooming flash head. Nobody has everything, but the Powerextra has the most pleasing combination of features at a low price. How is it better than the sales leader, the Godox TT520II, which is about the same price? It has an LCD screen, it has power output settings fine-tuned to 1/3 stop (instead of full stops, which allows flash ratio control, as described below), a strobe mode, and audible notices.So if you buy this flash you save money, but you have to compute exposure manually, and have to tote a big and heavy flash which does not balance well with an APS size sensor camera. However, it does something that camera manufacturer flash does not do: take pictures off-camera. You can do that with the camera manufacturer’s flash, but you have to buy at least a pair of them: one to put on camera and act as transmitter, and another as the receiver flash placed off camera. This flash package includes the transmitter. The transmitter does not flash, but you can overcome that by using the optical slave mode of this flash (instead of the radio receiver mode). Use the built-in flash of your camera as one light source, put this flash in slave mode and place it anywhere around your subject, and it will contribute a second light source when triggered by the on-camera flash.When used in this way, you will want to set this flash power level to achieve the lighting ratio you desire for the subject. Common lighting ratios are 2-1, 4-1, or 8-1. Since this flash has much more power than the flash in the camera, you will want it to contribute the most light. First compute the power level to set for this flash assuming it is the sole light source based on aperture, ISO, and subject distance. Then if you want a 2-1 ratio, reduce this power level by 2/3 stop (=64% power) and adjust the flash compensation in the camera flash by minus 1-2/3 stop (=32% power). For a 4-1 ratio, reduce this flash power by 1/3 stop (80%) and adjust the camera flash compensation by minus 2-1/3 stops (20%); for 8-1, reduce this flash by 1/3 stop (80%) and adjust the camera flash compensation by minus 3-1/3 (10%) stops.These flashes are useful in a static or studio setting, and you can learn a lot about subject lighting at little cost, but you will never, ever have time to set the proper exposure when on a vacation tour. What the Chinese manufactures should do to address this problem is to add an automatic non-TTL sensor, which extinguishes the flash when a light sensor on the front of the flash detects sufficient light reflected from the subject; and/or include an exposure computer in the LCD screen, in which the user dials in the lens aperture, ISO, and subject distance on the LCD screen, and the flash automatically sets the proper flash power level for these parameters. Until then, non-auto flashes like these are impractical when time is a constraint.

I have had two Nikon flashes, I'm very careful with my electronics; but for some strange reasons both died after a few occasions that I used them. I do most of my photo during the day and outdoor. That is the reason that I decided to go more cheaper. This speedlite may be cheaper but the quality is awesome, I use it on my Z6ii without any problems. The light is very strong, making pictures on the dark like almost daylight. I use it on manual mode with the transmitter and is perfect for my needs. I have all kind of Nikon electronics, and they are excellent, but not the flashes.

I bought a pair of these, they work very well, recycling is fast, wireless works seamless, great for my food photography. The only downside perhaps I didn't find the way to change zoom, it is 35mm fixed.

I’ve never used a flash before, but I watched some videos and it can be done easily. This unit is very easy to use and made the process painless.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this product for my Sony a6000 camera. I have been able to test it out much yet but from the few shots I’ve taken, it works well. You will need to buy double A batteries for it

This flash is a fantastic addition to my photography gear and is definitely worth the price. It provides exceptional brightness, easily illuminating any space, and the battery life is outstanding. I was able to capture around 3,000 photos over two days, and the battery is still going strong!The flexibility of using the flash both on and off my Nikon is incredibly convenient, and the wireless flash trigger worked perfectly. However, I did notice the flash tends to overheat during extended use. I had to let it cool down periodically and even used a fan and low AC settings to manage the heat. Because of this, I wouldn’t recommend it for long outdoor shoots in warm weather.That said, this flash delivers fantastic performance for the price and exceeded my expectations overall. It’s a reliable tool with great features, especially for indoor photography or shorter sessions. Highly recommend!
