An amazing mix of technologies! Not the most elegant looking piece of equipment that flash ..... isn't it odd to have the hotshoe on one end of it rather than the centre .... looks rather precarious as it is! I suppose it keeps the cable out of the picture though .... but then , the cable could come out the end of it instead ....I give up
