I was very happy with everything that was in the kit except for the quick charge battery charger. The battery charger was a piece of junk. Shortly after plugging it into the wall outlet the charger became very hot and so were the batteries. I quickly unplugged the unit and pulled the batteries out of the charger. Later I finished charging the batteries in a slow charger and they were fine. I have only had one opportunity to use the flash unit. The 580EX II worked with no problems. I simply attached it to the hotshoe on my Canon 40D and placed the plastic diffuser over it and took a time delayed photo of myself. I made no adjustments for the flash either in the camera or on the flash unit. I just put the batteries into the unit and it was ready to go to work. I haven't used the bracket adapter, that offsets the flash, but it seems that it should work just fine. It seems like it mounts to the tripod mount on the camera. And then it looks as though the bracket could then be attached to a tripod if desired. Adorama can keep those battery chargers.
