Product Review: Photoflex Starflash 650 monolight

Quality and Ease of Use

After a brief assembly, and the attachment of your optional modifier, the Starflash 650 is ready for service. Attaching the unit to the swivel mount is achieved by sliding it onto the bottom rail of the aluminum body and tightening the mounting knob. The stand mount can be attached to a standard light stand easily. The units controls are intuitive and clearly marked making it more likely that your first studio session will be a stress free event.

The Starflash main unit casing is manufactured from extruded aluminum coated with rubberized paint. The main unit weighs 7.1 lbs and has a very sturdy appearance. All connectors seem quite durable, tight fitting and manufactured to high standards. In general the Starflash has a rugged feel to it and our test unit has held up to expectations for quality that are associated with the Photoflex name. The Starflash has a one year manufacturers warranty.
