I hate to tell you this, but I had a class with a lady that got these kit. It didn't work very well. The slave flash wouldn't work half of the time. I would save my money and get something from B&H or a company like that.

To cheap? you mean to much i wouldnt give 100 bucks for that setup a waste of money. Go to BnH for 300 bucks or a little more you can get something a 1000% better Or Take a look at AB's Beginner Bee. You can do a whole lot more with this one light setup and a reflector than you could with that over rated 300 buck kit that you would get p'ed at and wish you never bought
