The only two things I do not like about this flash that it does not support high speed sync and if I'm taking a photo vertical I can not point the flash head behind me. I can but the shutter button will be below.

I like the bolt flash it supports high speed sync you need to push in the two buttons to enable high speed sync. Also the head will turn back when taking vertical photos and you want to point the flash head back. The one thing I do not like about the this bolt is that it does not take external battery back. But those flashes that do go for a lot more money and those external battery backs can go for $150.00 to $300.00. That's something you might want to get for weddings or something.

For batteries I use Amazing rechargeable batteries

Amazon does sell batteries that hold a longer charge but they cost a little more.

People say Sanyo Panasonic rechargeable batteries are the best. Panasonic bought Sanyo so Sanyo ones are hard to find. Panasonic is just relabeling everything Sanyo made with Panasonic now .

This is the flash diffuser set I bought from Ebay.

The big white dome is great but its a little clumsy. The clear one I do not like so much I like the cloudy dome one the most. Also I like the

You will get one of these little diffusers in first ebay link i gave you. But I like having these in my camera bag because is something happens I have a few back ups. Its almost as good as the big cloudy diffuser.

Also watch these two videos.

When you put your diffuser on you turn the head so you can take vertical photos as well. You really won't need a flash bracket like in the old days. They are still good for bouncing the light off a wall if you are taking a vertical or something. But for the most part I do not think you will need one.
