Pros:
Good design. Sony ** and AA batteries support. Battery indication is ok. Lightness dimmer do it's job. The temperature filter is ok. Fair price.
Cons:
No DC in power. The light is slightly moved to green colour, it's not a big deal, but keep it in mind. Plastic hot-shoe holder. Filter temperature is ok but not warm enough. Filter holders are too tight to work with.
Other:
According to manual the lightness is 800 Lumens (description on the site is wrong).
Bottomline:
Good small budget light with a few small flaws.
