5.0 out of 5 stars essential for long shoots, June 6, 2008

By	Photoleif (colorado, usa) - See all my reviews

admittedly pricey, but an essential purchase for those who plan to shoot a long session such as a wedding and reception, and never have to change batteries. this unit gives you 12 total -- 4 in your speedlite and 8 in this unit -- great plenty to shoot and shoot.

the unit is nicely constructed, and comes with a ballistic nylon case. the case has two closures (snap and velcro), and two ways to attach it to yourself (belt loop, quick-release velcro). it also comes with a 1/4-20 screw to mount it to your rack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, September 8, 2008

By	M. Scott (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a wedding photographer by profession. I put off buying this because it was so expensive and I was doing just fine carrying extra batteries and changing them when I noticed they were running low. I purchased it the other day because I was getting sick of missing 1 or 2 out of 5 pictures in quick-sequence shots (bouquet-tossing, cake cutting, etc).

After just one shoot, I have completely fallen in love with it. I was able to fire off sequences without missing anything, it recycles my flash supremely quickly and I only wish I'd bought it sooner. I will actually be getting rid of my 430ex backup flash so that I have two flashes that are compatible with this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Battery Pack, but Pricey!, August 28, 2008

By	"Clark W." "rgoodman" (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews

This pack really helps to extend the performance of a canon 580 EX flash, and is a must for wedding work and other long shoots. The enhanced weather sealing is also a good feature. Besides the price, my only concern is that the top, where you thread a stap through seems flimsy. It's also right where the seam in the plastic housing is. Most photographers that I have seen using it have attached their straps through the belt loop on the nylon protective sleeve,and this causes the unit to hang a bit awkwardly. Why not also include a cheap strap with it? I'm also concerned that the connecting cord is permanently attached to the unit. Cords have a tendency to eventually need replacing, and that doesen't seem possible on this unit. Overall though, it does do the job.
