DF-400 Speedlite Camera Flash for Nikon Pentax Samsung Fujifilm Olympus Panasonic Sigma Minolta Leica Sony DSLR Cameras and Others with Single-Contact Hotshoe

I'm a professional photographer who is still on a budget. I have nice lighting for my in my studio but I really needed something for my on location sessions. As much as I wanted to I didn't have a crazy amount of money to spend. Then I came across this flash. As I do before I purchase anything online I read a bunch of the reviews and everyone is right, this is an amazing flash at an amazing price. It's not one of those "you get what you payed for situations". I believe that this flash is way better then what you paid for. Pair it with a soft box and you are set! An important thing with flashes with me is the recharge time. With often shooting small children I needed a flash that could match with a fast shutter speed and this one does the trick. Another worry of mine was that it would go through batteries crazy fast, but I was pleasantly surprised when it didn't. Haven't done a session without it since my purchase! Shipping was fast (I don't have prime with two day shipping) and the packaging was great! The over all quality of the flash is amazing as well. In my personal opinion it feels well made and not of cheap plastic. Another perk is it doesn't add too much excessive weight to your camera causing you to create camera shake. I would definitely reccomend this to both amateur and professional photographers.

I purchased this unit a while ago. It worked great then started giving me trouble. The return window had closed so I didn't attempt a return. I hastily wrote a negative review instead of contacting the seller first for a solution. After I wrote my review and gave them 1 star, the company reached out to me. They offered to replace the unit at no additional cost to me. They didn't have to do that. They care about customer satisfaction and stand by their products. I will 1000% purchase from this company again. Thank you! Thank you! The new flash works beautifully and just in time...I have a shoot tomorrow! Amazing service!!

I recently received the flash and am very pleased so far. (I'm mostly using it for macro photography using a sync cable and remote shutter release.) It is simple to use and I like the manual selection of output power. The flash head rotates up & down and left & right which makes it great for tabletop work. Recycle time is fast. My only negative is the battery compartment cover seems to be a little bit fragile and may be easily damaged when trying to close it after inserting batteries - so be careful with that. Hopefully the unit will pass the test of time.

I bought a few of these budget flash units to replace a few other budget flashes that finally died on me after a year of heavy use. It's really as basic a flash unit if ever there was one. No LCD screen, no TTL, no wireless remote triggering - just a basic light up bar power meter, up and down buttons, a mode selector switch (manual, slave, and red eye reduction slave, I think). 99% of the time, I'm using them in manual mode, and I use them for everything - main key light inside a softbox, fill light in a cheap pop out diffuser, and even with no modifier at all as a hair light. These are AWESOME for what you're paying. Name brand flashes (Nikon, Canon, Sony) can cost a good 6-7x more than what you're paying. Yes they have more features and settings, but if you're looking for a basic no-frills flash, you cannot go wrong with the Powerextra units. They can drain regular alkaline AA batteries pretty fast - I'd suggest getting a 4 pack of eneloop rechargable batteries. The build is sturdy as the name brands, ease of use if off the charts, and what you can do with them is limited only to your imagination. Buy these Powerextra DF-400s - you'll thank me later on.

I was looking for a simple, easy to control flash to take office portraits. This was cheap and worked perfectly. I wanted manual to have full control over the shoot and pressing buttons up and down and the led display was easy. It triggered fine on a hot shoe, a radio hotshoe, and optically. It had a good recycle time—it never didn’t fire—and it did a 4 hour photo shoot on one set of AA batteries without overheating. Remember it’s a dumb flash—no TTL auto or anything. You have to set the exposure manually on your camera to get it right. But for a studio type thing, or using this for a fill flash, it’s perfect.

It was a nice flash but it only lasted 6 months. It now turns on but won’t flash. Even with new batteries. UPDATE: the company contacted me personally to offer a refund and replacement. I will update again when it arrives but I’m impressed!

This was a great buy for our cameras. The flash fit most of our cameras The light that emitted from the flash works great on pictures. The flash also comes with a lot of settings for the light. Great build quality and feels great in the hand.

The power settings are very easy to use which is a good power and eye saver with great quality of light. I took the snap shot of my cat with no extra diffusion just the little pullout from the flash not even the bounce. This is at ISO 200, 125 of a second, 50mm f1.4 prime Lumix G-95 with micro 4/3 sensor at 1 foot away and the flash at lowest power. So it has Matt the Edit Cat's approval.

コスパがとてもいいです。2万円しないでこのクオリティはいうことなし。 廉価なクリップオンストロボではあるのでサブ使用していますが、 無ければ困る一品です。
