    Works great

    posted by asgar5 on 01/25/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    As many people already wrote positive about it I cannot contribute much new other than that it works perfect on my Nikon D3200. For this amount of money you cant go wrong. Built sturdy with only 1 button. Nice and thin and carries the word Nikon.
    Cons:
    OK if I have to name one, maybe the battery slot opens a bit difficult. Just push lever 1 to the centre and pull on the sledge

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    Cheap and gives a lot of light. It has a manual mode and 2 slave modes: one for regular slave and one for slave action with preflash ignore. Fantastic
    Cons:
    actually, none, but if i had to mention something... you need to press the on button just a tad longer than expected. and maybe...

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    cheap, well built. It is the newest version with the extra pins. came with a usb cable. Windows might have som etrouble finfing the driver for it: Select 'update driver' and then go to the arduino ide directory where the arduinoUNO.inf file can be found. Wo...

    None whatsoever

    works right away

    posted by asgar5 on 05/31/2012 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    Very cheap compared to other sources. 2 pins were slightly bend as a result from transport i guess, but after a little bending back it slipped right into the UNO (also from DX. Loaded the 'hello world' program and it worked right away. No fuss, no problems....
    Cons:
    as said, pins a bit bend during transport it is the one without the sd slot, but i can hardly hold that against this board

    great

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Cheap and small. in fact it works right out of the boc. Beware of the fact that it need 3.3 volts, not 5 volts. I had it laying around for some tiem and decided one day to just solder it together on an arduino type shiled. Was one in no time and worked imme...
    Cons:
    if any, the soldering is a bit fiddly, but it seemed to work ok if I first took a pieve of sturdy wire, tinned it. Put it in on...

    Great buy

    posted by asgar5 on 12/03/2011 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:less than 1 day

    Pros:
    With this amount of cables for this price one wld be a fool to go make yr own cables. It is a lot of cables, various length. Good soldering quality, well constructed. Went easily in my breadboard with a snug fit. No plastic smell whatsoever
    Cons:
    I really cant see any cons. What could be wrong with a bunch of cables? Well construction ofcourse but I already poined out co...

    Very satisfied

    posted by asgar5 on 12/03/2011 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:less than 1 day

    Pros:
    The board was a bit smaller than I expected, which is only good. Soldering quality was very good. Liked the fact that a USB cable was supplied. At moments like this it is a Plus that the board is fed from the USB so I could go testing immediately. Nicely fi...
    Cons:
    Actually, no, I cannot think of any 'con'. The fact that it is labeleld as 'Arduino' instead of 'Dxuin compatible with Arduino'...

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    Fairly cheap lamp holder. I use it for E27 type flashes. Built quality is surprisongly good. Feels very solid. Has a convenient switch at the back. Plug is a USA type but that is not really a problem as I have adapters enough and use the thing for travel an...
    Cons:
    To my surprise the package did not contain a spigot, So I had to gind one of those before I could put the the thing to use

    Works well

    posted by asgar5 on 11/23/2011 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    It is well built and works well. I tried it on the YinYan 24BZP (another DX product http://www.dealextreme.com/p/yy-by-24zp-automatic-electronic-flash-11401) and that worked right away, eventhough that has 6 volts on the shoe (at least my BY24zp has). Tried...
    Cons:
    Really no cons. It does what it is supposed to do

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    I have this flash for some time now (see earlier review) and it performs fantastic. Took it along on trips and treated it rough. Went into suitcases and was tossed around Once I dropped it from abt 1 meter on a marble floor. The casing sprang open along th...
    Cons:
    If any it wld be that the ready lamp has a bit of an 'in between' mode as well
