“As a portrait photographer this give me the ability to put my flash where ever I want. No more running cables and since it’s made by canon it was super right out of the box. I used this flash with a RPS softbox with a white reflector for Seniors and Couples. I use a Rogue Flash Bender (Large) for groups, the power out of this little speedlight is simply just amazing.” – By KFM Designs

Amazing for Strobists, Event Photographers
“Working outdoors at night with nothing to bounce off of? No problem. Tell the master unit on your camera not to flash, and it will simply operate as a master controller for the off-camera units.” – By Gavin Farrington

Hand’s down a GAME CHANGER
“I no longer have to pack my radiopopper receivers and transmitter. Less clutter in my bag is always a plus! I have yet to use them at a wedding but I have done my own tests and the 100′ max distance is more like 200′ or more when using them with no direct obstructions. Ettl with my 5dMKIII is perfect. I am truly amazed with this system.” – By Manuel A. Ortega

Exactly the pro upgrade I was praying for – but not for amateurs
“This flash is everything that I have been hoping for. As a professional photographer who shoots a ton of low-light weddings and events and works nearly exclusively with bounced flash, this is the perfect flash for me, and every bit worth the price.” – By JH Photography “JH”
