Camera Flash with LCD Display, Universal Speedlite for DSLR

I am an amateur photographer, but studied photography some at university. After doing some research and gaining more knowledge about the advantage of a hot shoe flash I found this one for my canon. When I went to order it, an Amazon alert read "frequently returned item," so that concerned me. But it seemed that a lot of negative reviews were from folks with less understanding on the operation. As long as you read the description and understand your camera, there's no reason to not get this flash. The price is great and it works well!

I love this flash! It is easy to use, stays powered for weeks, with a few hours of use. I always charge it again to make sure it is charged fully, but it shows that there is almost full charge! Gives out plenty of light, I believe better than my previos one. For the money, this one is worth it!

I like this flash and it sync's well with my Nikon D7200.

It works great and I love it but make sure u understand your settings

Very nice. Like this.

This flash is one of the few flashes Amazon says is compatible with the Canon R50, IT IS NOT. Do not buy this if you have a Canon, you're saving yourself time and money

I read the reviews before purchasing but ended up ordering after previously owning an older altura flash kit version. I purchased a different altura flash (2-3 years ago?) and loved it! Did the job and was able to use it as a beginner... I purchased this flash as I thought it was similar and still compatible with my Canon t3i as an off brand flash kit. This altura flash was much taller than my last altura flash (by at least 3 inches when fully extended) and felt bulkier when using. I was also somewhat disappointed that this new flash did not come with a velcro strap carrier case like my older version (comes in a drawstring sack that would need to be stored inside your camera bag). After an hour of use, I noticed that the battery compartment just would not stay close after many attempts to keep it shut! All night, I kept re-shutting the battery compartment. Other reviews had warned about this but I just thought people were being overly dramatic... I debated on being ghetto and just duck taping it shut, however ----why go those lengths for a brand new flash??? You shouldn't have to. I ended up returning due to the flash's functionality. If you're okay with the battery compartment opening and the bulky size of this flash, than it's for you! *You get what you pay for I guess*

Gracias

La petite porte pour les piles ne ferme plus comme il faut lorsque les piles sont à l'intérieur du Flash.

Yeah. I'm a newbie photographer. This is worth the the minimal investment.
