The photos were pretty and they raved about the soft, even lighting. They ordered them right away. I’m more hesitant as the only flash I’ve any experience with is the MF2. The only complaint I’ve heard so far has been expressed here; the dials can be hard to operate with heavy gloves in cold water. The 3D printed dial cover is a great work around.

Add a brim to the print for better adhesion. I didn't need to, but it may help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
