from B&H Photo Video Summary: A totally unreliable slave!. I try it in the studio before a location assignment - works fine. Get to the job in front of the clients and the d**n thing stops working. Oh, wait a minute it worked that time. No it stopped again. I try turning it around so the HH prongs are reversed and moving it in and out of the socket to clean the metal contacts for better connectivity.... No change still erratic at best - that's if it fires the flash at all. Maybe it's the flash. So I try two other heads. Same results. To be blunt. This thing is crap. Either work or don't work. Don't tease me. It makes me look extremely unprofessional.... especially in front of clients! I give this a STRONG DON'T BUY recommendation. Strengths: Small and compact (easy to lose). Weaknesses: Totally unreliable. Can't trust it to work dependably at all. I have a Norman Tiger Eye and it works every time. It's great. Only problem, it's not made anymore and neither is the Quantum photo slave cube (which was also great!). Similar Products Used: Norman Tiger Eye, Quantum Photo slave block. -- Both work great but, sadly, are no longer made.
