Great Flash, Useless Filler Items!, May 12, 2008
This review is from: Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash Light + Deluxe Flash Bracket Accessory Kit (Electronics)
I'm am a professional photographer and was in need of a flash. I bought the 580EX II because of its solid reputation, and the fact it's possibly the best on the market. I actually bought this kit because I liked the idea of the rechargeable batteries it included, and the Omni flash. Everything else was just...interesting, and I would take it for what it was. When the package arrived, it was well packed, but the flash mount and the extended shoe were probably the most useless items I have ever seen. The shoe extension wouldn't be too unwelcome on the shelf at the dollar store, and the extension doesn't ever mate with the flash that well. It will hold on solidly, but it requires an unnecessary amount of effort to get it correctly mounted.
My suggestion to everyone is to pass on the gimmick extras and only get one with rechargeable batteries included.
