Very good for traveling and on the road Due to the small dimensions and the small weight of this flash can be taken without disturbing example in your pocket. So you have it if necessary at your fingertips. This low-cost system flash unit is just for me as a beginner in digital SLR photography. My pictures (camera Sony Alpha 200 a) In order to significantly better illuminated like the ones I had previously done with the built-in flash. The digital TTL or ADI the Sony 200 and an automatic fill-in flash works very well. This flash is specially tailored to the Sony Alpha camera. By adjustable in several stages swivel reflector there is the possibility to vary the illumination in multiple stages, the left and right, or upside down, down naturally occur even several times by rotating the camera the more variations. Since I've screwed a Sony camera grip with 2 batteries with my camera, and thus also the weight of the camera is already somewhat higher, it's nice that it's not much further, is higher by attaching this flash. So the camera can be screwed or clamped without problem and without too much weight on a small travel tripod. I have been able to make some very good (for my taste) images with this flash and the Sony Alpha in only a short time previously.
