I have Altura Photo AP-305N Camera Flash Light with Manual Trigger for Nikon D3500 D3400 D3300 ($75.00)
Vivitar was great for me, I need a flash for my new Nikon also, everything is too expensive!

I'm new to the board after buying a Nikon D3300. Very happy with the camera and 18-105 lens but want to pick up a "Cheap" (less than $100) flash. I'm an old Nikon FE owner who had a Vivitar flash back in the day.
Looking for good advice from the group.
Thanks in advance.

I have several(3) Yougnuo 560 speedlights and a remote trigger specific for Nikon. I recently sold most of my Nikon equipment so have no use for the lights or trigger. You may have some or all for $35.00 each (less than half price) all in good working condition you pay postage.
The Neewer works very well with my 7200 and is relatively quite inexpensive.

I've been asked by armatures and professionals alike. The question is totally not important. If you are serious about flash use then the question really is 'how will you power that flash'? Sit down with a pencil and paper, estimate how quickly you will run through AA size batteries and then figure how many a week you will go through. Now Now multiply this volume times unit cost and then multiply that by say a reasonable number of weeks in one year you will use that flash. You will view the total and say, "That's impossible!" then do the calculation again. The cost of a flash is in the cost to power it, not purchase it.
Quantum batteries will cost you to recharge it after the fact from your house hold current (say 4 cents?). Oh, and rechargeable AA batteries are useless as anyone who has used these with a flash will tell you.

I power all my Nikon SB flash units with quality rechargeable batteries and have been doing so for fifty years with no issues. Best of luck.
Also, the very good Eneloop Pro’s are rebadged by IKEA under the LADDA name.

What are armatures? Are they part of the electric motor?
