"It's big!! You need to keep that in mind, but it's fantastic. So easy to use, you'll be up and running within 5 minutes. I use it with my SB800 (pointed toward the back silver lining), on a medium duty lightstand with a standard umbrella mount bracket and I trigger it with my D300's flash in commander mode. Doesn't get any easier than this. No speed ring needed, no cables, nothing more. (Well, except maybe ..." Read Full Review »

"I really like the convenience of setting this unit up and the light it provides. My biggest worry is longevity with it. One of the posts has already ripped through the small rubber boot at the end, and it constantly pops off after only a dozen or so uses...." Read Full Review »
