 Useful, though fragile and need to experiment to find adequate setting July 19, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The slave adapter does what it's supposed to do, but you need to experiment considerably to figure out best setting both on the adapter and on the camera. One big problem is that the build is pretty flimsy. Drop it and you easily break the battery door. Also, the slave may not trigger outdoors or in large rooms far from reflecting surfaces, when the sensor does not detect the camera's built-in flash.

I bought this as a slave for my Kodak digital because the onboard flash for it did not seem to work very well with indoor shots. I wanted to get more depth and this slave flash worked fine. My Kodak doesnt have any jacks for the hotwire so the features of the flash arent really available to me. It seems to be a very nice unit for the money.

As described. Good Quality but not for HEAVY camera because the bracket is plastic and can disassemble.
Valuable equipment - must have - for FZ50! April 17, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I just purchased this item for my Panasonic FZ50 and received delivery very fast.
I gave 5 stars because I must somewhat disagree with many of the other reviews. The Flash unit works great without any problems.
Okay, some people are somewhat right when they critisize that the handle is not very strong or is even bending away from the camera. I've made the same experience. Nevertheless, the item is of good quality. The only problem is that it is fastened only with the tripod screw and that the material is of PVC like (but very good looking)material. Logically that it will not sit on there like a piece of steel...
I fixed the problem on my camera by applying simply an additional small strip of velcro on the inside which makes the grip much more sturdy and so better looking. It truly resolves the problem.
My FZ50 has a pre-flash system but the unit is easy adjustable and works every single time without exception. Easy! Possibly other people might have problems if their build in flash is extremely weak. The FZ50 has quite a strong build in flash and triggers the slave unit every single time, to include averse condition like outside in total darkness. It works precisely and never fails. (I did shoot several hundred pictures under all possible conditions)
I used a Vivitar Automatic Flash 2800 which I purchased for about 50 dollars for that specific purpose. The quality difference compared to the build in flash is simply amazing and the distance range is much more extensive.
If other people having problems, I imagine that maybe their build in flash is very weak. My slave unit really works and performs exceptional.
The grip and all parts look good, reflecting good worksmenship and material quality. I am happy and I saved a lot of money not buying an expensive Panasonic TTL flash. To be honest, I tried anything and everything on cheaper flashes - nothing really works properly but this slave together with the Vivitar 2800. It works on my camera without changing any settings and I can use it also in auto. A set of rechargable batteries lasted me through all the testing and is still going strong. I can therefore not understand what some people mean when they complain about high battery consume.
Anyway, a great buy, and a even greater savings of hundreds of dollars.
great for a fisheye of telephoto lens January 25, 2008
if you are looking for a good but cheap bracket that will save you money and get you the results you want;then get this.i did not think it would be as good as advertised, but it was little better than expected.if you are like me and shoot skateboarding photos and need that shadow out of you way then this is just for you.the only thing that i dont like about this is that is made out of plastic on the top and its confusing of what the numbers mean.it is easy to use and it works for me.
i hope you enjoy this product
