4.0 out of 5 stars forget the tripod, November 22, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bower SFD14C Digital Macro Close-Up Ring Flash + Tripod + Batteries & Charger + Accessory Kit for Canon EOS Rebel XT, XTi, XS, XSi, T1i, 50D, 40D, 5D Mark II, 7D Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics)
The Bower SFD14C ring flash appears identical to the Opteka RL-500,
which has been problematic for some Amazon reviewers.
My Bower ring flash works fine, so far (as of this second day).
I wish it allowed for a lens cap while it is installed;
instead for protection I will insert a UV filter
between the ring flash and lens.

The battery charger is better than expected;
it handles AAA (as well as AA) without adapters and, unlike others, appears to sense each cell separately.
With other chargers which charge 2 cells in series,
one cell may invert or otherwise fail.
I have not yet tried the charger with NiCd,
which it also claims to support.

The "Accessory Kit" is a Precision DJC-007 cleaning kit.
It appears similar to Amazon B000W79C82, except without the DigiKlear
or B001LEQA12 without the LensPEN. The cleaning fluid is labeled:
"DISTILLED WATER AND NON_TOXIC GLASS CLEANER".

The tripod is a Digital Concepts TR60N,
for which see Amazon B000093UDQ.

For $15-20 more than a Bower SFD14C without batteries, I am satisfied.

4.0 out of 5 stars great for the price, March 1, 2010

for the price, this flash definitely met my needs. it produces very interesting portrait shots. the only con i have about it, is that its awkward to assemble the adapters to your lens, and try to put the flash on.
