Lasted a Month
I think this would be better priced at $25 and maybe it will be once there is more competition in this micro flash space. It's very compact, just bigger than the Medalight F1S flash and heavier, but that's due to its aluminum build, whereas the Medalight F1S feels more cheap being entirely plastic. I much prefer the build and controls of the Reflx flash, but after only a month of use, it has started to trigger with my cameras once for every four pictures. The F1S has one button which you can accidentally turn on/off while placing the flash on the hotshoe. The power/charge light is directly beside this button and is incredibly dim and difficult to see unless you're almost perfectly perpendicular to it. The Medalight is smaller and claims to have a bigger battery; I'll update this review when I test that. It connects to the hot shoe and triggers perfectly (so far) from 1/320 down whereas the Reflx Lab can only handle 1/250 to 1/50. It's 6200k color temp and claims a GN5, same as the Reflx Lab, but is more dim than the Reflx Lab. It could be more dim due to the extra diffusion on the light, which gives a softer look that I prefer. I wouldn't be surprised if the internal components are identical between the two. I love how small the Reflx is and it's functionality, and ease of use but wish it could go faster and slower in sync speed and lasted longer than a month. I contacted Reflx who assures me they'll send a replacement, which I will update if they actually follow through. If this at least lasted as long as the battery I would have loved this little thing, but it working intermittently is unacceptable. Also you can get this cheaper at Reflex's website.
