Photogenic PLR1250DRC Reviews

Look simple but powerfull

By Terfer
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2015-11-24

Good flash head I use it for almost 4 years. The best things about it built like a tank. They don't use plastic like the other brand the good old heavy duty metal. Also they use simple circut board and if you succeed to break it. They cost almost nothings to repair.
