I recently saw a youtube video where a photographer used one of these.<BR>

They are under $30 and fire with any other flash.<BR>

I've ordered one master w/cable, and one slave. (master can be both master &

slave)<BR>

With this setup I'll have 3 flashes total (4 if you count the 30D's on camera

flash).<BR><BR>

 

Has anyone had any experience using this type of flash? I imagine you get what

you pay for - as with all other aspects of photography, but for $60 I couldn't

resist.

They've been around awhile and I even think I've owned a couple. I used them i narchitectural shots to replace the tungsten bulbs in lamps to minimize color balance issues when shooting with daylight balanced film ( or daylight /flash white balance on a DSLR) and using just daylight or mixing daylight with bigger strobes. . They are very low power but I bet you already knew that. What does it say the recycle time and amperage draw is.

Recycle time is 4 seconds. not sure about the other.

I like a particular Morris one. Comes with a battery. The cost is a bit more for the battery combo, but if you need a little extra light and you don't want to mess with finding an electrical outlit it works really well. http://themorriscompany.com/slaves/dcslavekit.html
