RALENO Flash Speedlite for Canon Nikon DLSR Cameras, E-TTL & i-TTL Dual Mode 1/8000 HSS Flash Speedlight GN58 with LCD Display Standard Hot Shoe Professional Flash kit

I own a Cannon Rebel T6 and got this speedlite because the T6 doesn't work properly in the low light conditions. So far this speedlite has been very helpful to shoot under low light. I'm not a professional photographer but can say that the performance of the speedlite has been very satisfactory. I've uploaded some of the photos using the speedlite for comparison.The first two photos are comparison between having and not having a speedlite. In the first photo I used the 1/64 power and I turned off the speedlite for the second photo. Clearly, this speedlite works very well in low light condition. Similarly, I used the full power 1/1 in the third picture inside the wardrobe where there was no light. In the fourth picture I tilted the speedlite at 45 degree angle with 1/32 power. None of the photo are edited and the image look sharp for a 16 MP T6 DSLR.Pros:1) Works very well under low light. Good amount of exposure from the flash. The highest power range from 1/1 to the least 1/128.2) Have specs similar to Cannon and Nikon speedlites but is much more affordable. The settings are also easy to explore.3) Battery operated so be sure to get 4 AA batteries. Doesn't come with the packing.4)Supports manual as well as automatic modes in Cannon DSLR.Cons:1) Makes the camera little heavy.2) Probably not best for continuous shootings.3) Should change the camera setting to enable the speedlite.The speedlite came with manual inside it. The specs of this speedlite fits with several other speedlites in the market and there are lots of good videos to get started around the web. Little bit piece of advice be sure not to put the flash in full power mode while taking pictures of people faces. Just put the flash under lower power, full power flash can have effects to the eye. The packing consists of a bag which make it easy to carry around and also the build quality of the speedlite looks great. For me this budget speedlite has been a decent purchase and would definitely recommend.

At first, this flash can be a bit awkward and clumsy, especially if you have never used a flash like this before. It does take some practice to use correctly but once you figure it out it can give some spectacular results! It does make the camera very top heavy so make sure you are maintaining a good grip on your camera while using!As a manual flash, this performs really well but switching to the automatic settings gives amazing results and it's so easy! The price is right if you're on a budget and this is a great flash to learn on. The battery life seems pretty decent compared to other similar flashes I have owned in the past. I am overall extremely happy with this flash! You can definitely see a dramatic result in the quality of your photos when using this. This flash is especially great indoors when you're fairly close to the subject. Being able to rotate the flash is great to get the perfect bounce off a ceiling or wall.The material is of great quality for the price, it doesn't feel flimsy or like it will break easily. The only minor complaint I have is that the built in diffuser is a bit difficult to open and close. Nothing that changes my opinion overall but just something to be aware of.

Perfect speedlite to begin with. Worth every penny. I was amazed at how fast the recharge time was. And the assist illuminator helps you easily focus on your subject

Likes:1.Very versatile. Can switch between eTTL for Canon and iTTL for Nikon (very useful if you invested in both systems).2. Serves both as a master or slave speedlite.3.Has HSS mode.This was huge for me.4. Decent price.5.Has manual, multi,S1 and S2 modes.6.Slightly heavy and balances well with weight well distributed with camera hand held, this made it feel rich to me and not one cheap plastic.7.Has all other functions you expect from a high end speedlite, including a zoom button that zooms upto 180mm! I am not sure though if it has memory to retain your previous settings, i.e, FEL lock since I cannot read the tiny prints in the manual.8.The case has a battery compartment.9. Recycle time is very fast, faster than most speedlites. Feels instantaneous.10. Zoom is very silent.No sound at all when you are zooming.11.The case is made of very good material.12. Came with a hard diffuser case.Dislikes:1. Manual has very tiny print. I need a magnifier to read it.Was useless to me.I read the canon manual for the 580EXII to understand the basic buttons on a speedlite and what they are used for.The rest was trial and error.2.The case is a little too tight to put the stand and speedlite together back in.

I have used many flashes from a Nikon SB600 to other Off brands. But this Raleno Flash Speedlite has to be the best so far. The important thing to me is the HSS (High Speed Sync). For years, I have been using a Variable Density filter to compensate for the Too Much Sun. Now I don't need to. I can shoot up to 1/8000. I have not made it up to that shutter speed yet, but I trust that I will be able to do so.The price was great. Funny, the first day I used it, my model dropped the flash. It still works. I will be buying a second one just for backup and also a second Off Camera Flash. Works great with my YONGNUO YN622N-KIT Wireless i-TTL Flash Trigger Kit. I had to set the trigger for TTL. It took me a while but that was the best setting for the Yongnuo.My other flash would only shoot at a Shutter Speed of 1/250.I can't wait to shoot more with it.Thank you RALENO Direct.
