    For me, I love the idea, but struggle to think when I would use almost any of the features on a daily basis. I wonder how many people buy it and almost never really use it? I've found a 300dmkii and a 120d with an aputure f7 isn't enough for some interview setups (depending on what I'm trying to do) which surprised me, so I always find these tiny lights are quite a big investment, because you would need at least 4 of them to put them to any significant use, which is already getting into £400
