This flash will not light two shot bursts! The Godox V860II is much better choice because...
I love so much about this Pixel flash, the hot shoe lever, the LED light, the head lock BUT, there is huge con that is preventing me from keeping this flash. It will not flash the second time if I take two or more pictures in rapid succession even when the subject is a few feet away! If I take pictures continuously, many will be dark and some will have overexposure. This is completely unacceptable!I tried using the Godox V860II in the exact same conditions, and every single exposure was properly lit even up until the buffer of my Nikon D850 was full, at 9 frames per second! The Godox never quit!I really don't like leaving negative reviews, but I feel it is important that people are aware of this. I don't think it's a power issue. Something in the flash is preventing it from firing at an increased rate. The Godox V860II is a comparable model because they both have the same guide number of 60m at ISO100 in the 200mm zoom position.Now this might not affect everyone. Slower cameras might not have a problem. And remember, it's not that you have to shoot continuously at 7FPS but even pressing the shutter button twice to take two pictures can cause this to happen. The first picture will be lit, but the second picture will be totally dark.If they can fix this with a firmware update, I will be thrilled. Everything else about the flash is wonderful.

Great Product, Features, and Benefits, BUT ...
Love this unit! Some nice features and benefits and accessories (i.e. plugs for other coutries). However, after using this only a few times, the "OFF", "ON", "LOCKED" button came off. Couldn't get back on. I contacted the manufacturer by email, but sadly, no response. I returned the unit to Amazon FOR REPLACEMENT. Why would I take another chance:?Simple - this is a GREAT UNIT. MY REASONING: TURN THE UNIT ON AND LEAVE IT ON! I love this unit so much, I'll just take the battery out rather than turn it off. Charger is separate, so no big deal. TO MANUFACTURER: Change the design so the switch doesn't break off!

Great TTL Nikon flash for short money
This is a large powerful Nikon-TTL flash with full manual control for a price lower than Nikon's dinky entry level flash. Not made like a $500 Nikon. Be sure to set it to "auto turn off" after 5 minutes. Some examples would over-heat if left "ON" after use.

Too Bad
I really wanted to like this product. Despite reading some poor reviews elsewhere i decided to give it a shot as a backup to my Nikon SB-800. Unfortunately, when it came it was immediately apparent that it was defective. It simply would not fire. I tried it in every mode, and every possible setting on my D7200. Occasionally it would fire, but then a second attempt of the same shot would fail! If I got it to fire once with the bounce head up it would fail if moved the head even slightly. Even pressing the fire button failed to make it flash! WAY too unreliable for my needs. I read that others had the same experience as me, and simply could not rely on it.Features seem great, but they are worthless if the unit will not flash. Back to Amazon!

Works good.
Works OK. Worth the money, but it's not as good as a Nicon brand.
