Naturally now I am searching for fresh batteries. Once the batteries are installed I run it through a general testing of all features. I do this because I have heard of others with the same model having quality control issues. Mine seems to work well so very happy on that account.
The basic testing
First the negatives. The head moves without a button which isn't really a big deal but its just something I would have liked. The screen itself has a graph instead of a numerical value for the flash power(we will fix with a label maker, shh). To shoot or test using the Pilot button proves to be very difficult to press and the power button would be better suited as a switch instead of a depression type in which to hold down for 10 seconds. The PC port would have better been suited with a threaded connection as well. But in all right now I cannot find anything that stands out as a major issue, all issues seem to be personal preferences which I can make do with.

The flash should prove to be a great unit especially once i customize a few options to make it to my own preferences. With the limited testing done just for quality assurance I believe it will prove to be a great flash for the low price tag it holds. I will use it as a main light in the next few upcoming shoots to put it through my real world shooting schedules and will learn more about how well it works and what doesn't for both me and the head. For now I am happy with it and look forward to testing.
Cheers
