Bower SFD829TW Digital Slave Twin Flash (Guide No. 92'/28 m at 50mm), with Bracket
The Bower SFD829TW Digital Slave Twin Flash is a slave flash that is compatible with almost all digital cameras, with or without built-in flash capability. It works as a slave flash, and can be set for a single flash camera or a pre-flash camera.
It also has a hot shoe so that it can be fired from the camera directly, and the flash is fully synchronized with fill-in flash and red-eye reduction flash and can be used with virtually all of the digital cameras on the market.
The main flash can be bounced or swiveled, and when combined with the smaller secondary flash, can result in perfectly exposed portraits or close-ups. The secondary flash bulb can be turned off, if not required.
- Compatible with digital cameras
- Twin flash for more evenly exposed pictures
- Slave mode can be turned on or off, and can be set to ignore a digital camera's pre-flash

Comments about Bower SFD829TW Digital Slave Twin Flash (Guide No. 92'/28 m at 50mm), with Bracket:
This is a slave flash that works off an optical trigger. Having the flash in position off the camera, with its optical sensor in a position where it could easily sense the on-camera flash, it would work sometimes and not other times. It's unreliability is worse than if it didn't work at all. When it does work, it is great, putting out a lot of light, for good exposure. I use it as a bounce flash with diffuser, for interior shots. I've stopped using it, but will get back to it and see if I can make it work somehow. The problem may be with the brightness of the on-camera flash. A more powerful on-camera flash may make this flash more reliable. I will try that.
