Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've enjoyed experimenting with it and it does help you take better pictures.The flash is triggered by the grip, which is triggered by the camera's built-in flash.I can change the angle of the flash between 45 and 90 degrees to bounce it off the ceiling.The bounced light, combined with the built-in flash creates beautifully lit subjects with a nicely illuminated background.
I've had this flash for less than a couple of months now.I recently noticed that part of the reflector behind the bulb is black with soot.There's also a burnt smell coming off of it... it's not strong, but it's definitely there.I guess if I were adventurous, I could open the unit and clean off the soot, but the flash still does what I need it to do and I really don't want to break it by opening it up.I'm good at pulling things apart, but putting them back together correctly is a talent I lack.
Overall, I'm satisfied with it for a first time flash.I do wish it's got a swivel head, but this is good for now.

Product Description:
The Cameta 2800 Flash has two automatic power settings, a correct exposure verification indicator, a bounce head adjustable up to 90-degrees 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 Cameta 2800 Flash gives you the freedom to be more than four times farther away. With this much additional flash power, it's almost 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 the Cameta 2800 Flash as a wireless remote "slave" to complement your camera's built-in flash. The Digital Slave Grip can even be used off-camera with the 2800 Flash as a remote slave for more professional and creative lighting effects. >>> The built-in flashes of most digital cameras emit a "pre-flash" and/or a "red-eye" pulse that fires before the shutter opens, followed by an additional flash pulse which actually lights your picture. This "pre-flash" or "red-eye" pulse confuses other non-digital flash and slave units, causing them to go off at the wrong time, rendering them 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." Five LED-indicated pulse-counting and delay-variations are incorporated into the Digital Slave Grip allowing it to ignore "pre-flashes" and fire the powerful 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 Cameta 2800 Flash and Digital Slave Grip require a total of 8 - AA batteries -- which are included in this kit, along with a padded case, NiMH Charger, and Cleaning Kit.
