Customer Review: 430EX II Kit
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been doing photography for some time 40 yr+. Hobby/College and some pro work, Weddings etc. The 430EX II is a great flash and will work great for most photography including weddings. It will work as a slave flash if needed.
The Sto-fen bounce is a decent quick & easy basic diffuser, that will help take the harshness out of flash photography.
The "Precision Design" Battery Charger and battery's work great (the first charge took a lot longer then expected)But the battery's hold a charge for a long time (no specs yet). Although some reviews were not great, the charger and battery's are working great for me.
The "Precision Design" Off-Camera Flash cord (this is why I wrote the review) It's junk, (the one I got is anyway) Just like most of the reviews say. It only works about half the time. You constantly have to monitor the Camera info to see if it's is getting the information. Then mess around with the connections (at the flash on mine) until it decides to work. Very unreliable!
The Stroboframe 350, Does not fold down for easy storage. It's a basic frame that will keep the flash above the lens, I have no problems with it. It does it's job. I have other frames that fold down, and over time have become weak & wobbly . So I purposely wanted a more rigid type frame.
Because this is a kit.. Cameta Camera offered to replace the "Off-Camera cord" with another one and pay for shipping unless I wanted to return the whole kit for something else. I opted to exchange the cord.. (other then that I like the kit and think it's worth it.) I'll exchange the cord until I get one that works, maybe use it as a back up or DIY an extension on it and use it as a hard wire slave cord for Studio stuff (When I have time to fool with connection problems). I'm also ordering the "ProMaster Off Camera TTL Cord, (good reviews) to give it a try....
Update:
Cameta replaced the cord, (no problems with the exchange method)Received it, and so far the replacement cord is working fine.. But I still would recommend the "ProMaster TTL cord, seems to be more reliable and constructed better.. I like the idea of having a back-up cord....

Bringing a new level of versatility and capability to flash photography, the Canon Speedlite 430EX II features a powerful flash (guide number of 141 ft./43m at ISO 100) with a fast recycling time in a compact, durable body. A one-touch, quick-lock mechanism makes it easy to attach or detach the 430EX II from the camera and a metal foot has been added for strength and durability. Flash controls can now be set through the camera's LCD screen on compatible EOS Digital SLR cameras. The Speedlite 430EX II is also quieter, recycle time is 20% faster (as compared to the 430EX) and since it is compatible with Canon's wireless E-TTL, it can be used as an affordable "slave unit".
Provide your camera with plenty of power with 8 ultra-high capacity 2900mAh Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries and a multi-voltage rapid charger.
The Stroboframe Quick Flip 350 is an economical flash-rotating bracket. This model offers high value, compact size, lightweight and fast handling. The Quick Flip 350 accepts most cameras except those with large, accessory battery packs or motor drives. All Stroboframe Quick Flip Flash brackets have a pivoting flash arm that keeps the flash over the lens in both horizontal and vertical positions. They have a comfortable foam grip and a tripod mountable base.
