Cdr King TT520 Flash Test, Godox rebrand

cdrking1

We'll be looking at the new CDR King TT520 flash. First off this is a manual flash without any TTL functions.

*** note the fake rubber flap, There is nothing under that rubber flap. I think it is a provision for some pc sync connection or external power, made for more advanced models.

Camera : Canon 7d set at f9
All flashes on 1/1 power

A quick rough test reveals that the CDR King TT520's power is right in between the YN460 and YN460mkII.

I will be using this flash primarily to test how long it lasts, more to come.

Thanks for the review. One question though, you said it works off cam by using the built-in pop flash in the camera. My question is, All you need to set it to S1 or S2? And set your camera in commander mode?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

in my own experience.. yes! as simple as that.. even works with point and shoot cameras as long as the flash pops!

volJekarooL3 : set your popup to manual the use s1, if set to TTL use s2 for ignoring the pre-flash

Is the flash still working today? I'm worried about how long it will last as I do a lot of strobe set-ups for event photography. Although most of the time I only set the power to 1/8. 1/4 at the most but rarely.
