An innovative idea for a compact strobe.

It looks great but unfortunately it is a Kickstarter project, so the longevity of the product is unknown. Reported to ship in July to the early “pledges” but will it even ship? Lots of unknowns but the idea is a good one and using existing technology.

I don't like it, it is just too restricting, and what was stated is just not true, setting up a flash is not a "hindering", thats BS!

I think my kids might like it, but I prefer studio lights for location work.

Doesn't float my boat. You can build your own flash kit with Godox or other proven manufacturer and get a bigger bang for your buck. And you don't have to worry about them folding their tent and riding off into the sunset.
