Great buy

This small mono light works pretty well. I purchased it to use as a hair light/background light. At $110. I feel it's pretty good and does the job. But if you have a small space to shoot in a few of these would work for a complete portrait set up. The light is easy to adjust, has an optical slave or can be fired with a sync cord or radio receiver. It has a modeling lamp and beep ready sound signal, (which can be turned off). The quality so far seems very reasonable; the only exception being its mount is a little jiggly no matter how much you tighten it (but don't try to over tighten because that would not be wise). So if you need a small mono light this unit is good for not a lot of money.

Perfect for beginners

Ive bought four E300 heads to replace annoying speedlights with their endless batteries replacement as well as communication problems. Use them in my little basement studio. The only one problem so far: 300W are too bright for white studio. Even with softboxes on, and power setting of 1.0, they produce a lot of light. So, Id recommend buying the E250 instead. Besides that, be aware that the bowens mount on those heads has no twist-lock. I need to simply push modifier ower plastic head. I dont believe that this type of connection is reliable. But, again, it works very well in the home studio.

Excellent for The Price

Godox E300 Flash Head I bought the Godox E300 Flash Head to replace a couple of Canon flashes that I have been using for macro photography. The main reason for the purchase was because the Canon flashes are simply too expensive in batteries. B&H shipped the unit fast as always. I was impressed with the quality of the Godox E300 for the price. The unit does have an internal fan that runs very quiet. At the default Power Level of 1.0, the recharge cycle time is virtually instant. Although it doesn't state on the website, the unit that I received also included a Sync Cord. PROS: - Excellent price. - Runs on AC Power. - Plenty of features. - Bright and fast. - Quiet cooling fan. - Beep mode when ready. - Modeling lamp. CONS: - The light stand shaft on the E300 is too short to fit correctly onto any of my 5/8 stud light stands. The bottom of the short shaft sits at the 5/8 stud's indent area, so the E300 leans to the side. To fix this I cut the top off of one of the light stand studs so that the stud is 5/8 along its entire length. - I couldn't find any replacement flash tubes or modeling lamps on B&H or elsewhere.
