No Brainer UPDATED 8/30/17, WirelessA+
UPDATE :08/30/2017:. Integration is Absolutely flawless, I've added a Star. I shoot Nikon. Like many I focused on Nikon OEM for my priority gear Bodies, Lenses, and for 4/5 yrs now as a primarily Wildlife Photo & Film shooter "$500" speed light flashes weren't a make or break. In a unique opp, I got an assignment for animals from a zoo at a vetinarian hospital. Using a (neewer) snoot I was stunned at the throw and stamina I got. 25yards perfect illumination but not stunning the animals, incl a Flickr Woodpecker that happened to be near. MORE IMPORTANTLY I have Nikon Speedlights, I also have a better 'matched' off brand setup. A Mike mk-310 commander flash, 4 Neewer VK-750II'S , which is easily $2000 if it were Nikon OEM. Say what you will but Im outing my reputation on the line, I'm a compensated reviewer and I BOUGHT EVERY SINGLE NEEWER ITEM ON MY OWN. MEiike and Neewer seem to have identical products Neewer can be $20/ to $100 cheaper, and IDK Why because I know for a fact they work together. WIRELESSLY NOT JUST OPTICALLY. So adding any Yunguo fits all slave capable flash, you've got auto optical triggers, that expose but a bit high. After setting up 2 VK-750II'S 30 yards away on the ground and in grass, the {SB-400 sized } Meike 310 in commander mode using channels, I started by adding my NW-910 As a slave and later put it low in front of me as the 5th flash firing in group 1, #3. Then later adding 2 more 750II'S, in group B, exposed Accurately. I use a D4, & on a D7000 you set up commander mode in the camera, on the D4 you set the master flash / channel / group and the 750's in slave mode get ITTL! Nikon is notoriously secret about their tech, especially lenses, I've tried 8 other 'fully integrated ' off brands & only had optical triggering G work except , These Neweer / Meike flashes incl the back compatible 750II work As designed, on a simple stand., Absolutely work wirelessly not limited to optical triggering. ADL SYSTEM preflashes work , I shot 100 shots over an hour&10 Min & flash temp never even got to 3.( I did shut the 310 flash off and added a battery pack (neewer $25!) To the 910 Which was needing more juice but worked A+ throughout. NO OTHER FLASH , Besides a very poorly constructed Viviter unit, worked with the true commander wireless mode. I got out my SB-900 and controls are identical. the Nikon is a bit heavier but the Neewer even has the simple twist lock. I've bought expensive off brands barely cheaper than nikon ***note: I'm OLD SCHOOL and although it's hard for me to deviate OEM, My business sense { for a fully / accurately / matched, set of 4 full strobe remotes, and 1 on camera master working perfectly on an Top offering by Nikon designed to reject knock off batteries, flashes, etc, for 1/5th the cost *** when you must keep a FULLY IDENTICAL BACKUP BODY & FLASHES, And any LENS that can't be worked around, on a prof shoot. IT is mandatory as painfully ridiculous but necessary,... absolutely necessary. }. If you use single letter bodied you also know that with no flash on the body, commander mode is absultely needing the Primary unit to set it up, and use. Which is how I landed in the 310 to start with, but I cannot say enough about the 910's or the 750II OR UP, I've put them through indoor outdoor, even frozen and 96· weather, and I cannot say anything was flawed in their performance. AA++ An excellent fully functional, and INTEGRATED on Camera Flash, for Nikon DSLRs. A superior offering at 1/5 the price, but aside from price I've bought high end off brand Nikon dedicated Flash units that quickly become outdated w/ newer model Cameras. I own Nikon® Speedlight Flash Units, both early digital (SB-28DX), as well as later model SB-800's, and have done many setups along with dozens of middle range Nikon®, Speedlight flash units -SB-22's, SB-24's, on remote Triggers. This flash does everything it says, is recognized by every nikon dale, nick the D4, and integrates appropriately. Modeling flash, beam assist is very cool, it's a red 'webbed' illumination. Overheating display, battery level, twist lock, I say it's a no brained.

It's a good flash and quite cheaper than the Nikon Speedlight 910
It's a good flash and quite cheaper than the Nikon Speedlight 910. I've got two of them and so far so good! Note that if you use them as slave flashes, they can't be mixed with Nikon Speedlight 910. In other words you may mount either a Nikon or a Neewer flash on your camera and have several Neewer as remote flashes but not a mix of Nikon and Neewer.

1/5 price of sb-910, but can't act as a master to other nikon speedlights.
Only used it once since I got it and its worked great. This is a miekle flash not neweer (they just distribute the product like cowboy studio on amazon). For the price you can't really get a better flash. This is a knockoff of the nikon sb-910 for 1/5th of the price. Menu is easy to use, but I thinke my sb-700 is a tad eaiser to use. Built quaility and size is almost identical to the sb-910 and much bigger then the sb-700. One major issues I have with this product is it doesn't work as a master/commander for the sb-700 or sb-600 speedlight I have. Maybe it is compatible with other mk910 flash, but not with nikon. It does work as a ittl slave with the sb-700 or pop-up flash as the commander. In manual mode, you have to press one of the button before you can adjust/turn the power level. On the sb-700 you just turn the button. I got it to do high sync or FP at 1/4000s (my d750 only goes up to 1/4000s).Many of my friend owns this flash. It costs about as much as fixing a nikon speedlight, so buying a new flash is comparable.

Not as good as it appears to be
This flash has fully loaded features for a high end Nikon speedlite like SB910 plus slave modes S1 and S2. The build quality of the unit is solid. The appearance and feeling of the unit are much like a Nikon SB900. However, the actual power output of NW910 for correct exposure does not match SB900 at all.Below are some test results.Exposure range with manual power adjustment:NW910 can adjust power output from full power (1/1) to 1/128 with a 1/3 stop increment – a very nice feature on paper. However, in reality, it does not seem to work that way. I used a Sekonic flash meter check the exposure with flash set up manual output.At manual power output mode, NW910 yielded 6 stop range while SB900 yielded 7 stop. However, NW910 power output was not linear. For example, from full power to 1/8 power, the exposure change is supposed to be 3 stops, the meter measuring only showed 1.7 stops difference while SB900 exposure change was dead on.Therefore, it is hard to perform accurate power adjustment by simply relying on meter reading and power dials on NW910.TTL performance when the unit is mounted on top of the Nikon D600:I ran a series of tests when the unit is attached to D600. D600 was set to manual exposure mode. In the TTL mode, with flash compensation set (FEC) at 0 or +1, NW910 and SB900 yielded similar exposure. However, at FEC= -3, NW910 just reduced exposure by about 1 stop, while SB900 reduced its exposure by about 3 stops as it was supposed to be. In conclusion, NW910 effect exposure adjustable range is 2 stops while SB900 4 stops determined by camera CLS design limitation. Wireless with CLS system:The NW910 was set to remote, the camera flash command set to CMD, TTL.When FEC in CMD was set at 0, +1, +2 or +3, exposure did not change at all. Exposure reduction started to be shown at FEC= -1. With FEC=-2 or -3, exposure was further reduced with -3 the least exposed. However, the max exposure reduction was only about 2 stop. In summary, the total effective exposure adjustable range is 2 stops, consistent with that for flash-on-camera test.Flash with Pocketwizard FlexTT5, miniTT1 and AC3:The flash worked with PW FlexTT5, miniTT1 and AC3. The unit communicated correctly with camera through the PW transmitter and receivers. I was able to control NW910 in one group and SB900 in another group. AC3 was used to adjust power output either in A or M mode (on AC3).In this configuration, the exposure adjustable range of NW910 was much smaller than expected - only about 3 stops while SB900 could vary 6 stops.In AC3 A mode, settings of FEC = 0 to +3 yielded the same exposure. Only -1, -2 and -3 reduced the exposure as expected. Also, at FEC = 0, NW910 yielded 1 stop more exposure than SB900.In summary, with FlexTT5 and miniTT1, the effective exposure adjustable range is 3 stops on NW910. Note that, you can only reduce exposure by adjusting flash power. If you want to increase exposure, you are out of luck by increasing power output. You have to move the flash closer to the subject. This limitation applies to A mode too.With such results, I am not sure if I can control the lighting environment in a reliable way with NW910.

Worth the money, great unit.
I'm finding this to be a very good flash unit, I have seen the improvements in my photos from the very first picture taken. It looks well built and the case is great for storage. There is lots of adjustments and a reasonable manual, the stand looks a little flimsy but with proper care that one would expect one to use with this type of equipment I feel is adequate. Overall for the price it cannot be beaten.

rapport Q/P imbatable
Payer dans les 50€ ce flash est un monstre de rentabilité.La qualité de finition n'est pas fantastique mais sans être complètement scandaleux.L'éclair est d'assez bonne qualité, la couleur plutôt correct, mais je n'utilise de toute façon presque jamais en direct. je balance presque toujours le flash contre un mur ou autre donc bon...niveau fonctionnalité c'est correct, pas tout a fait aussi puissant qu'un flash qui faut 4,6,8 fois plus ... rien d'étonnant.Le seul truc qui me chiffonne un peu, c'est que la valeur de zoom n'est pas mémorisé si l'on éteint le flash ou si il se met en veille. Rien de dramatique mais a la longue un peu pénible même si on s'y habitue.Bilan :Je conseillerai a un ami si on me demande, et j'en rachèterai un les yeux fermé si besoin.

It's certainly better than the built-in flash however doesn't fully communicate with ...
Bought the flash hoping that it would perform close to a Nikon flash. Performs just OK with the D5100. Just upgraded to the D7100. Tried it with the MK(NW)910 with mixed results. It's certainly better than the built-in flash however doesn't fully communicate with the camera, It's a reasonable knockoff of the SB910 in looks but not in quality. Sending it back - I am waiting for shipment of a Pixel X800n.

Ottimo flash ad un prezzo bassissimo
Prima di questo ho avuto il MEIKE MK900 che già mi aveva molto soddisfatto ma per utilizzarlo come seconda fonte di luce con l'SB700, mi occorreva un flash utilizzabile in TTL anche tramite CLS ( cosa che il MK 900 non poteva fare ) così ho preso questo Neewer, che è un MEIKE rimarchiato.Mi sembra, come l'altro, ben costruito: è migliorato il feedback della parabola motorizzata che in quell'altro era molto più rumorosa, sempre apprezzabile l'attacco della slitta in metallo, mi sembra sufficientemente veloce nella ricarica.Essendo arrivato solo oggi, mi riservo di integrare la recensione dopo un minimo di utilizzo, ma dalle prove di routuine mi sembra sia tutto ok.Potente, buona la gestione della luce in TTL, movimenti fluidi ma non laschi.... Aggiungo che è presente l'utile funzione di sincronizzazione con tempi veloci FP ( che il MK900 non ha..) che sembra mantenere ciò che promette.Al netto della riuscita nel tempo, che spero non nasconda sorprese, penso che sia veramente un ottimo acquisto per tutti gli amatori; non saprei per i professionisti, visti i requisiti di "garanzia" richiesti in un utilizzo lavorativo... sono proprio contento !! Lo consiglio.

Great flash
I have been using this flash for nearly three years and it's as good as any major brand flash. Great for portrait and all-round photography.
