Toter Trash Cans Wheree Do You Buy

Flash Cobra D500 Dedicated + Pro Grip

I was not and am still not a big flash pros; long, I only used the flash, plus Sunpak where it was not enough. Never had very good results with this flash, so I had decided to buy something else ...

  • type electronic flash to TTL or autonomous, manual zoom and tilt and swivel head with extra flash front
  • Manufacturer: Cobra
  • Model: Cobra Twin D500 module Pentax
  • Guide Number: 30m focal length averaged 100 ASA
  • Accessories: pro-grip and bracket for remote mounting (see picture), color filters
  • Purchase Date ;: September 26, 2007.

A purchase of the bay, in its British version, a disappointment if the animal is friendly at first, it is also a construction very robust. She had obviously spent his life in its packaging, and probably in a little conditioning: the plastic was completely cooked. The flash is mounted on the dedicated module manufacturer by a system of small pins, the plate on which were these pins standing on the grip, with a few screws into the plastic body - which had broken at that specific location. I managed to fix loosely with bolts and nuts (seen in photos, in setting the flash on the handle), but I dare not use it for fear that I fall into dust in the hands ...

The vendor, after being shot a little ear, paid me the grip. And finally, the part that I use most is the arm that screws under the unit, and I use with other flash ...

Golden Rule confirmed thus: when you buy used, target the strong. I learned the lesson, I no longer buy as original elements Pentax!
