Easy to use sturdy macro flash.Keeps all the functions like in camera focus stacking available when used on Olympus/OM cameras.

A great close up lighting kit, however needs an update.
This unit is a high quality flash setup for close up macro work. The two units can be moved around the ring to operate at any position, opposite, 45 degrees or side by side.It is provided with a good quality mini case. Good for small objects, Jewelery etc.The setup would be better with an updated Li ion battery setup for quick recycling between shots rather than AA batteries.For insects this kind of unit gives a harsh lighting, a large diffuser on a speedlight is best, rather than these.The unit is quite expensive, there are other 3rd party units similar but lower price ie Godox/pixapro

Good build quality
Easy to use macro flash , when focus stacking in camera it can be slow at recharging , so only really good for static subjects.I've had just as good results using a Godox flash and a pringles tube ! at 1/4 of the price.Very hard to justify paying so much for it , but it was a present bought for me so I can't complain.

Expensive but worth it
If you are looking for a quality macro flash for your Olympus MFT camera then go with this option. Waterproof, weather sealed, quality build and excellent results. Expensive but worth it in my opinion. Angle of heads is limited and no option to add more like the larger Nikon R1C1 but otherwise light and well made.

Excellent Macro Flash
Excellent Macro Flash Unit for use with my Olympus OM-D EM-I mk 3. Works with selected Olympus lens only via supplies adaptor rings and easy to set up. Supplied "manual" lacks detailed information on how to use it in the field so you will probably need to look online for videos etc on how to use it for best results.

Quite impressed
A lovely 'bit of kit' for an Olympus OMD EM1 Mk2 camera user. It packs away compactly and, more importantly, delivers beautifully lit photographs of Macro subjects.
