(More customer reviews)When the flash arrived, the plastic housing over the bulb was cracked. I called the company and was given the option of mailing the flash back at my own expense for a replacement...but I should mention that the 'call back' process to the company in itself was a challenge...not user friendly and the customer service rep on the other end was short on customer service. Basically I felt that it was "my" problem to solve, not theirs. They could also not guarantee a return date for the replacement flash, which I purchased for my step daughter's wedding scheduled in one months time.
The "slave" portion worked great in testing at home and in some preliminary use ... come the weekend of the wedding, and it stopped working all together for no reason (we replaced batteries, checked and rechecked the mechanisms). But the "30 day return" policy has expired so I'm the proud owner of a slave flash that doesn't work.
Can't recommend either the product or the company.

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.
