GODOX GODOX CF-18 Compact Digital Slave Flash with Hot Shoe Bracket Black

• Pros: Exactly the same colour spectrum as Sony flashes so its light blends with the camera's flash perfectly. Recharges in only a few seconds. It easily ignores the pre-flash from my Sony cameras. Quite small and has reasonable power.
• Cons: The supplied instructions are almost useless. They give no idea of what this unit can do or how to set it up. Once installed in the provided mounting shoe, mine is impossible to remove again. Luckily I don't need to use it in the hot shoe of any cameras.
• Other Thoughts: I was happily surprised by this small flash unit. After a little experimenting, I found that it's great for filling in shadows, even bouncing off a white ceiling, and providing light from another angle when photographing objects. When attached to its bracket on a small camera, it considerably extends the range of the internal flash. Just don't use it on close-up subjects or it will over-expose. I'm a real photographer and I'd recommend this flash unit to other photographers.

• Other Thoughts: Pleasantly surprised with this unit. For the price it's really a great value for the "cheap & functional" crowd.

• Other Thoughts: Ive only used it a handful of times, but so far it has worked great. I know there's better flashes out there, but this was cheap and i thought id give it a go.

• Other Thoughts: I was a little skeptical when I purchased, but was excited with the results...as I am a realtor and need more light at times for my clients.

• Other Thoughts: I bought two to make an inexpensive macro lighting rig. They do an adequate job with my Nikon D60. They arrived today & I just hope I get some life out of them. Photos can be evaluated above - see - "View and share related images".
