Name after a small ferocious animal with a deceptively wholesome name, the Honey Badger 320Ws Compact Flash Head from Interfit has a space-efficient 5 x 5 x 6" form factor, weighs just 3 lb, and contains some impressive features. The light boasts a 7-stop flash power range that can be adjusted in 1/10 stop increments and a 60W LED modeling lamp that is the equivalent of 300 tungsten watts and can be used manually or set to output proportionate to the flash intensity. The modeling lamp has a 5600K color temperature and is flicker-free for use as a video light. Recycle time is a fast 1 second at full power and a fraction of that at lower power. Flash durations are correspondingly short - as quick as 1/900 second (t.1) for freezing action at peak moments.

The Honey Badger has a built-in wireless receiver that accepts signals from a separately purchased S1 manual or TTL transmitters that can not only wirelessly trigger the flash, but control power level, modeling light, and the beep indicator for full recycling. The light has a Bowens S-Type front accessory mount making it compatible with the many manufacturers that produce products with this mount. The Honey Badger also has a built-in pop-up softbox ring that makes for very fast setup with the included 24 x 24" softbox. Lightweight with a small form factor and impressive performance, the Honey Badger is hard to beat.

Compact Form Factor
Size and weight matter to the mobile photographer. The Honey Badger weighs 3 lb, measures 5" wide (6" including the outer ring), and 6" deep from the rear control panel to the edge of the protective cap. The robust and compact housing makes the Honey Badger the ideal solution for photographers on the move.
Extended Power Range
The Honey Badger has an impressive 7-stop power range, two more stops than many studio flash heads. Power can be adjusted from 320Ws down to 5Ws in 1/10th stop increments for precise exposure.
Fast Recycle Time
At full power, the Honey Badger recycles in just 1 second. Recycle times get even shorter as you decrease flash power.
Short Flash Duration
Short flash durations give you the ability to freeze motion beyond the capabilities of the shutter sync speed. At full power, the Honey Badger has a t.1 flash duration of 1/900.
60W LED Modeling Lamp
The Honey Badger is equipped with a 60W LED modeling lamp with the equivalent light output of a 300W tungsten lamp. This flicker-free LED can be used as a continuous light source for both photo and video purposes. The modeling lamp can be set to adjust proportionately to the flash power, or to full power. The color temperature was intentionally set to 5600K (daylight), to accurately portray the color rendition of the flash's output.
Versatile Modifier Mount
A convenient feature of the Honey Badger is the versatile modifier mount. The Honey Badger utilizes the popular Bowens S-Type modifier mount, making it compatible with the same modifiers as the S1. The Honey Badger also features a built-in pop-up softbox ring for use with pop-up style softboxes that are popular with speedlight shooters.
Included Pop-Up Softbox
Every Honey Badger includes a 24 x 24" pop-up softbox with an inner and outer diffuser. This style of softbox does not require an elaborate setup and folds away quickly and compactly.
Glass Dome Diffuser
The Honey Badger includes a frosted glass dome diffuser. This protects the flash tube and helps to spread light evenly throughout the modifier.

Interfit Honey Badger Reviews

Love these lights!

By Steven

I love these compact flash units. I now own 3, plus 2 of the battery powered units. I did a week long professional food shoot with them on location and they worked perfectly without a hitch! I sold my old Calumet/Bowens Studio Travelights and replaced them with these. For food I don't need mega power and these fit the bill for a fraction of the cost. Only drawback is that this company has gone belly up. So if anyone knows where to get replacement bulbs etc. please let me know. So many companies are now gone that use to be big players so thats just the way it is these days. I do not regret getting these great little lights!

I have had these lights for six months and used them quite a few times so this review is based on my extended use. The lights are amazing and they pack up very nicely into the carrying case. The case is very sturdy and I am not concerned about any damage when they're in there. There's plenty of room next to the folded stands to put two or even three umbrellas to switch from the soft boxes. The soft boxes are a little tough to fold back up...just be sure to watch a video before forcing them in any direction. I thought I had it figured out and I ended up messing the metal bracket up a little bit but I fixed it after working it for a little bit. They're definitely nice though and they fit really really well on the light. Haven't had a single problem with them falling off. As for the lights themselves, they're great. The range is from 4-10 so you have a ton of options to pick from. I love how I can turn the beeps off and how it has an included cooling fan...not many in this price range do. The modeling light is awesome with how bright it is! I have even used these as a little fill light when doing some video given how bright they are. The power cords are a very good length and extend all the way to the ground even when the stand is fully extended. My only complaint is that the feet aren't super wide so the light can be a little top heavy. Whenever I shoot with an umbrella outside, I always find something heavy to anchor the stands down with just in case a gust of wind wants to knock it over. I do want to warn you that the replacement glass diffusers are over $80 if you accidentally break one. I bumped into one during a shoot and it tipped and the glass shattered. Luckily the light was fine, the flash tube was still in tact, and modeling light still worked. At some point I am going to have to replace that but the light works very well in its current state so just be aware of that. If you are considering these, they're great for beginners who need versatility in the range these lights cover. I've only recently gotten into portraits after being a long time amateur action photographer so these have been great to help me learn. Just be aware that even at full brightness, you're not going to notice a whole lot of light change if you're photographing out in the sun. I took some pictures for a swim team on a sunny summer morning (9am) and these lights were practically useless, even on full power. B&H did say they wouldn't overpower the sun but I was hoping they would act as a little fill light. Maybe someone who has more experience could make them work a little better but I didn't notice anything. Definitely worth the price though given their size, range, and what's all included.

I love it

Compact for the small studio, but powerful enough for almost any situation. Adjustable power using Interfit remote on my camera makes changes quick and easy.

They're not in business anymore

I bought this unit 6 months ago for a group portrait session that ended up not happening. They were used quite sparingly, always lived in their case when not in use, and were kept in excellent condition. Then one of them stopped working. It made a pop and turned off. I tried to contact Interfit about a warranty repair and they sent me to a third-party vendor who informed me that !! It was $85 plus S&H to have it repaired and had a significantly long lead time. I'm not super interested in paying ~$100 to have a light fixed that broke with an incredibly low amount of use. Additionally, they would flash when I received any incoming text which was incredibly difficult to work around. I assume that it was something to do with the frequency of the transmitter and receiver, though changing the channel and the group did nothing to fix this. I wish they were better, one is now an expensive paperweight, and the other is an expensive barely used unit as I need two lights and I refuse to replace it with this brand.

light, powerful and amazing

This is a great light, consistent color and power. Starts up pretty fast. My only complaint, sometimes the modeling lamp stops working in the middle of a shoot,

I believe the answer is yes if it has a 3.5" male sync cord. That Honey Badger should work with any standard triggers.

What's the fan noise level in decibels?
Asked by: Mark
The manufacture does not list the decibels for the fan in the Interfit Honey Badger 320Ws Compact Flash Head. This is a strobe so it is not used for video and sound. And like most it is not quite like led lights that are made for video.

Can this unit be triggered as an optical slave?
Asked by: Richard
Yes, as per the User manual, Optical Slave Cell When using a multiple light setup with your Honey Badger and a sync cord or a third-party remote, turn on the CELL button to activate the optical slave function. This will allow the light to be triggered by the light of your other flashes. NOTE: This requires direct line of sight between lights.
