Product Description

The 2800 Electronic Flash has two automatic power settings, an exposure verification indicator, an adjustable bounce head for soft lighting effects, and energy-saving thyristor circuitry for faster recycling and longer battery life. While most camera's built-in flash units are only effective from a distance of 8 to 12 feet, the 2800 gives you the freedom to be more than four times farther away. With this much additional flash power, it's like having a bolt of lightning at your command. >>> The Sunpak Digital Slave Grip has a comfortable contoured hand-grip with quick-release camera platform and enables the use of an auxillary flash as a wireless remote "slave" to complement the camera's built-in flash. It can even be used off-camera with an auxillary flash as a remote slave for more professional and creative lighting effects. Most digital cameras emit a "pre-flash" and/or a "red-eye" pulse that fires before the shutter opens, then an additional flash pulse is fired to actually light your picture. This "pre-flash" ("double-flash") or "red-eye" pulse confuses other non-digital flash and slave units, causing them to go off at the wrong time, and are therefore useless for your digital camera. But the advanced pulse-counting digital circuitry of the Sunpak Digital Slave Grip is not fooled by the "pre-flash" and also eliminates the need for an electrical connection to your camera. The Digital Slave Grip has five LED-indicated pulse counting/delay variations allowing it to ignore "pre-flashes" and fire the High Power 2800 Flash at the precise moment your camera requires. Set it up with your camera's built-in flash just once using our included easy-to-follow step-by-step directions and you are all set for noticeably better flash pictures from that moment on. The 2800 Flash and the Digital Slave Grip require 8 - AA batteries: 4 for the Flash and 4 for the Digital Slave Grip which are included in this kit, along with a padded case, NiMH Charger, and Cleaning Kit.

I've used this a few times, and overall it's very good. Too good sometimes, in fact, that it is so bright it can overpower and wash out your photos if you don't get it set right. It was a little tricky getting the flash set up to coordinate with my Canon 650IS, but follow the instructions, and you'll be fine.
