What is this flash rated in WS? How may AA batteries does this take? Is there a PC sync terminal?

It doesn't flash. Probably the Chinese manufacturer didn't understand the meaning of the word "flash" and threw it in there as a descriptor. It projects stars to the ceiling if you remove the opaque blue cap. Its plug-in is a USB, which I found surprising. Runs on batteries also.

Not sure if you did, but there also has to be batteries in the flash unit itself (you need a total of12). It's recommended that you use 12 of the same type of batteries that are fully charged. Hope this helps.

I honestly do not know the answer. You can probably Google the answer. Sorry I could not help. This flash is a great flash.

It will work as flash as well as continuous light mode. Fairly good for the price!

Don't know exactly; but, my flash stopped working and the photo repair shop (warranty) downloaded a software update and that fixed my problem of the flash not firing. It worked perfectly previous to whatever went haywire. RD

are you using eTTL? if your flash is set to manual mode and full power, "+3" then it will use batteries very fast. if the 4AA batteries that power the flash are rechargeable, then you need to charge them right up until you put them into your flash, otherwise they will not have full power. and yes, you will need batteries within the 2400-2700 mAh range, otherwise batteries do not have enough power. also consider a power supply for faster recycle times. also note that lithium-ion batteries get too hot when in constant use and can damage the flash.

The flash is compatible with your camera, but I'm not sure about it running as a slave if you are using a commander set up for multiple flashes. It may be fine as a slave, but I'd research it more. Stand alone, it will do well. I love mine.

I haven't used mine with flash but it has been erratic w/o a flash. I had to go back through the start up procedures and reset the frequency twice. Seems to be ok now. Oh and I replaced all of the batteries just to be sure.

4 AA. Rechargeable batteries work just fine. Honestly, for a flash I would recommend them. I use Sanyo Eneloops and they last quite a while between charges.

There is a sync cor provided but it is a bit short. If you have a Speedlite you can trigger these strobes with that or consider buying one of the cheap CowboyStudio 4 Channel Wireless Triggers. I work with both methods often problem free.

I have Yongnuo flash. I use this as an extra flash. It is ok. Quality is fair. Having said that stick with Pocket Wizard. Little expensive but reliable. I have four of these and never had a problem.

This flash is entirely manual so if you're willing to set the power and try a couple times to get the settings right then sure. If you're planning on shooting in controlled settings and can take the time to adjust the power output each time then it is absolutely a treat. If you want something to use in conditions where the light is highly variable then I would look elsewhere and consider a flash with TTL functionality.

The mouse takes a pair of AAs, which I prefer because I'm already fairly invested in rechargeable AAs and it mean zero down-time. I haven't had the mouse long enough to judge battery life, but I can tell you what I know: I have had the mouse for about a month and have used it sparingly during that time. I picked it up used on eBay and it came with alkaline AAs inside, which seem to be going strong.

Yes, it takes AA batteries. The only bad thing was that the flash stopped working immediately. I still use it, but only in good light.

Technically, I cannot provide you a definitive response. I, probably like you, take some things on faith, thus, I won't really know unless something drastic happens to my camera's flash synchronization. That has not happened to date, but sometimes cumulative actions will ultimately destroy the sync system's delicate trigger. The whole problem is that current systems require a very small voltage to trigger the flash. Older flash systems use a much higher voltage and, therein is the problem. The later camera's operate on the lower voltages and may be overloaded or "burned" by the older flash without the safe sync adapters. I can't be of more help.
