Take the flexibility of Morris slaves anywhere with the DC Super Slave. Like the AC slaves, it is triggered by any flash unit through its built-in slave sensor or a radio slave. The compact power supply case uses 8 AA alkaline batteries (available separately) and comes with shoulder and belt straps and a 4' power cord to give you freedom of movement. Green and red LEDs, mounted under the dome indicate DC power and recycle status.

This is a compact portable flash unit. Battery powered so no need for large power packs. Used it several times and the results were as expected. Very easy to move around and with the clip can be attached to many objects. Should carry an extra bulb.

I've never used slave flashes before myself, seen friends use them and know what they are for but never owned a set.
THIS was a good purchase, I bought two of them for use in our furniture studio and in client's homes and other locations for product shots and images of us working on projects.
Immediate return, I can easily clamp them anywhere to provide that extra boost of light. I would have never managed to get several shots I have in our portfolio within just a few weeks owning them.
I'm certain I've only just started to get the ROI, the more I learn what these will do the better it gets. Planning a night shoot next weekend and looking forward to having some unique lighting angles and options.
Batteries last about 100 flashes - that can go reasonably quickly if you are hitting hard. Recycle time does slow down as the batteries get expended. I have shot pictures faster than the recycle time you do have to keep an eye on that. The LED indicators are handy. As long as things are moving slow they work great.
These are NOT for fast action photography, they just won't recycle fast enough for burst photography or even fast single shots.

I have two of these light they do a good job as fill lights when I use them for construction site photos. The optical slave turns off when you plug a pocket wizard into it which makes these lights excellent in a bridal sweet or situations where other flashes are firing. I aim these lights at a wall or ceiling set my camera to manual take a couple of test shots once the camera is dialed in, I shoot the rest of the day with the same settings.
