Does anyone know the refresh rate? I'm in need of a small flash that can cycle somewhat fast for about 1hr straight without trouble.

I'm not an expert about this. You mean how many seconds after it flashes? I got timed 3 seconds [per cycle] depending on your battery. I used a rechargeable battery that is specific for the external flash. I compared disposable batteries and rechargeable batteries for this camera flash, I find the latter more to it than the disposable ones. I hope this helps.

You're going to want a speed light. This Sunpak is nice but not fast enough if you're going to be shooting say a wedding where you need a quick recharge time The Nikon SB 400 it's as small as this Sunpak but faster in recycle time. Suggest you visit Ken Rockwell.com he is a professional photographer will ample notes and opinions on all photographic equipment. By the way I have both these flashes, my SB400 speed light is over in Thailand the Sunpack here in the US.

This flash recycle time is not very good, it takes a few seconds before you can use it again. It's great for someone wanting to carry a small flash when needed for a few shots.

I have two SB-910's, no problems. Much better refresh time than the SB-700 I have. I will keep up with the D800 fps with no problem.

Did you view the picture on the preview screen on the camera, or on a computer? Many inside pictures I've taken with the flash look way too bright on the camera's screen but look just fine once I copy them to a computer. I've even turned the flash off while shooting because I thought the preview with it on was way too bright, only to find out later that the ones with the flash on looked far better than the ones with it off.

I would contact the Nikon & Sunpak people for the information you're looking for. That's your best bet. I did this when I purchased this flash for my Canon & it helped me make my decision. I like the flash.

there is a lag time of about three seconds, great camera though. My favorite feature is that you can turn the flash ON, even on bright sunny days.

Seems pretty fast to me, maybe a little slower as the scene gets darker, but it takes great pictures in very low light with autofocus.Has infrared light to focus with. Hardly ever use flash in a room with ordinary lighting.

I'm really sorry I can't help you, I bought this flash as a gift for a friend. I would browse through the Nikon forums if I were you....good luck!

HiBefore we continue givibg suggestions. What flash do you have? I know you have a canon 6D and yn622c.

I wouldn't recommend it, I had nothing but trouble with the HVLF60M flash. It overheated constantly for no apparent reason. I would go with one of Sony's less expensive units, or buy a third-party flash.

Thanks, Saleh...Ive already purchased the camera and found that out. Not a great flash but an amazing little camera!

The revised firmware version does work, according to New Harbor. The first firmware version, of which I am a recipient, does not. New Harbor contacted me directly and immediately when they discovered the problem and offered to swap out my flash for one that works with the T3 series. Should you receive one that doesn't work, I believe that New Harbor will work diligently to rectify it. However, I'm also satisfied that they'll have the issue fixed on any flash you order from them.Hope this helps,Robert~

Depending on how much you use flash, delve frequently into menus, etc., you can usually expect pretty decent battery life. I've gone a whole day shooting over 200 exposures without depleting the battery entirely.

The flash is fairly quick, but overheats if you shoot too quickly(10 shots in secession at full power) Full manual, no auto. Although it does have a slave mode.

I don't seem to have any problem with synch speed of flash to shutter speed. I have used the triggers for some time now and even purchased another set for more lights. All of them seem to work fine with whatever synch speed I need. I have used a range of shutter speeds from 1/60 to 1/200 depending on how much ambient light I want for the background. I have never tried to use them with high speed synch at this point. I have two types of speedlights that are all for Canon equipment. I have a Canon 430EXII and two Yongnuo YN560II. Hope that helps! P.S. what the other two folks said also.

I had to have mine replaced twice and the third one broke as well. When I called up, they told me this device was defective ( I guess all of them) and they would exchange it for the silk n' flash lux with 120,000 flashes and credit my account for the difference. So yeah, it's probably best to just buy that. I did notice a difference after only one use though, so it's a good investment...maybe just not this model.

I used this flash on a G5. It worked great. I would still be using it if I hadn't bailed on micro four-thirds. I would buy it again in a second.
