Beast Mode Event Flash!
on September 9, 2021
Posted by: Daniel
from Carson City, NV
I took the plunge and purchased this flash as an upgrade to the 600EXII-RT. 1st use was at a 6 hour event that included outdoor and indoor locations with varying lighting. I was thoroughly impressed at how the flash could easily keep up with 12 fps and maintain the same light levels. Never did the flash have to stop and cool down. This outperforms the 600 quite handily.
Battery life was also great. I took around 600 flash photos (not all at full power), and I still have 4 bars on the battery indicator. E-TTL II works wonderfully, applying just the perfect amount of flash, even as fill-flash for backlit scenes.
I also found the modeling lamp useful as a video light in a pinch. Not designed for this use, but I was able to video a single subject on the dancefloor quite well.
The flash is very robust as well, and I can rest assured a spilled drink or light rain won't hurt it.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this high-end flash!

Big step forward over my 580 MkII. It is quite a bit larger so that takes a bit of getting used to, but the performance makes up for the size
