"Awesome product for the price.. Gets the job done for lighting that I needed."
"Before purchasing this light I was using a 3 piece lighting kit to take pictures. This lighting kit is also awesome because it's only 1 piece!"
"-Super bright, if you want. -Dimmable. - Camera mount built in so you don't need a separate tripod. -Super white light looks very clean and create an unbeatable radiance. -Comes with optional orange light covers to create a natural sunlight look. -Doesn't get hot like a traditional bulb would. -Comes with international plug for foreign use. -Super easy to setup (once you know how). -MULTIPLE areas to adjust height, angle, twist, etc."
"So a over a year has went by and my battery to the light has went out (the ac/dc cord)."
"You literally have to sit there and just play with it to figure out how to expand the tripod, how to snap the filters onto the ring light itself, how to mount the ring light onto the tripod once you've gotten the filters on, how to make sure everything is tightened down once fully assembled and finally, how to use the hot shoe camera and camera phone mounts that come with this set. (I haven't even begun to figure out how to use the Bluetooth remote that came with this set, and while I'm THRILLED this is included, it would be nice to have instructions on how to use it lol). This is great, but without instructions you'll be sitting there confused for a bit trying to figure out what to do with the darn thing. This price, along with the fact that it was well packaged, with all of the necessary pieces/parts and performed well once I fired it up and started taking pics with it earns it 5 stars. I do eventually plan to make videos using this light so I will come back and edit this feedback at some point once I see how it works for that application. In the final analysis, because of the awesome price of this ring light for what you get, I can definitely recommend it."

"This light was purchased for my daughter who loves to apply makeup."

"This is amazing!!!"
"I don't know if I'm missing a piece or what but the knob that's used to tighten along with the bolt just constantly fall out and so the light isn't held on tight."
"I'm afraid it would wobble too much if put at the highest setting, I definitely wouldn't want to attach my phone or camera at the highest setting."
"The thing thats meant to hold your camera is very good for my canon t5i and we all know that that is a bulky camera."
"Excellent, the dimming function is really helpful and it works fantastic."
"The set up for this ring light is perfect!"
"Used this product for about a 8 months and the stand doesn't work anymore!!!!!!!"

If you plan to shoot in portrait mode (vertical orientation) you will need to be able to rotate the flash left/right in order to point at the ceiling. Flashes that are more "automatic" are TTL compatible which means that use information from your camera (TTL = Through The Lens) to automatically calculate the amount of flash needed for a given shot based on other camera settings that determine the exposure needed. That being said, most experienced photographer comments/reviews I have scene will tell you that MANUAL is the way to go to learn and is perfectly suitable. In my research, this seems to be an issue with the mid-range dSLRs (Like the D5100 and others) due to the fact that they use a mechanical shutter as opposed to an electrical one. The special flash/shutter mode that allows this is referred to as "Auto FP" or "HSS" depending on your camera, etc. This basically comes down to using one or more flashes off-camera (usually wirelessly) to achieve different lighting affects. The good news is that the SB-700 is capable of being used as a master or slave flash, BUT the SB-700 does not (I believe) have "commander" functionality built-in (The SB-900 does). The good news is that once you have "commander" functionality you can wirelessly control one or more slaves. Bottom line...if you are not concerned about using the SB-700 off-camera or with other flashes you don't need to worry about this, BUT options are available if you decide to expand you lighting. I won't get into everything about sensors (because I don't know everything about them), but I will say that not all flashes are fully compatible with both FX and DX format cameras/sensors. Fully compatible with Nikon CLS system. Supports both FX and DX cameras/sensors. Can rotate vertically and horizontally (ideal for bouncing in landscape AND portrait orientation). Includes built-in diffuser and bounce panel. Also includes mountable diffuser dome for direct flash use. Supports automatic TTL and Manual modes. LCD Display is clear, backlit and easy to use. Offers master/slave capabilities for expanded lighting setups. Most professional features for a more reasonable cost. Well-built and sturdy. Nice, laser-like pre-flash for proper focusing and exposure. From other reviews I have ready, it has a very fast "recycle" time which means you can take multiple shots with flash in quick succession. You can get MANY of these features from third-party flashes/speedlights for LESS money, BUT you sacrifice full CLS/iTTL compatibility and probably are not getting the same level of product. The other feature usually missing from third-party flashes is either an "Automatic" mode and/or full support for FX & DX sensors. For mid-range dSLRs (Including d5100), you can't utilize Auto FP or HSS for higher than 1/200 of a second shutter with the flash."
"It also works well wirelessly through the Nikon builtin flash. It does work very well in TTL mode and as a wireless flash through the builtin flash."
"I personally wanted the SB-910, but the price was way too expensive for what I can get out of the SB-700."
"Output is more than adequate when paired with my D7000 because of the higher iso capabilities of that body, as well as my D300. Would like to see Nikon (and the other major makers) bring their prices down a little so freelancers don't have to surrender body parts to buy equipment needed to stay competitive, especially since this particular flash is made in China."
"I love the power output and the fact that it has a lower profile than my previous units."
"I would recommend this to anyone looking for a semi-professional flash for Nikon."
