Works really good to take picture at night after an abattage arbre.

Mounts to lens filter threads and includes multiple adapters Provides even illumination within usable range (see below for details on what constitutes usable range) Daylight balanced Reasonably well-built Also the price

Advertised guide number of 18m is wildly optimistic Auto-thyristor functionality not usable at close range Inappropriate for true macro photography with short focal length lenses No battery-saver timeout feature. Leave it turned on and it will stay on until the batteries die. No adapter included for 49mm filter threads. No provision for manual operation other than full intensity Tony | electrician north shore Auckland NZ

dirt simple, physical size and low output fine for close work. I often shoot technical images and no fashion work, so the small ring size is preferred. I use it strictly in manual mode. No problem as I shoot products and the pace of work is very methodical. It came with a 49/52/55mm lens filter ring adapter so it mounts onto a favorite macro SMC Takumar that I use on a Sony A7II

not sure about sync interface to modern digital cams so I simply adapted it to my wireless flash triggers. No variator, but for the price who cares.

A specialized tool. Works when nothing else will; large ringflashes like the Hensel don't work as well for tight setups. I don't think it would work for fashion or portrait work- aside from the ring diameter the long recycle time would not be practical. It replaced an ancient Hershey Sun Ring (running off a Norman 200B pack, which produced too much output). I'd consider modding a second unit to act as a flashead for my smallest Dynalite pack to take advantage of the variator and the battery-free operation but for now it works fine. I get about 80-100 flashes off a set of 2 AA cells with consistent exposure. As I don't do catalog work it really isn't a problem.
