I wish they make also an external battery system for this LP180, or atleast put some universal connection to it enabling the use of some other well known and trustworthy manufacturers battery kit.

Love my LP160 and was planning to buy another until they discontinued them. Now I’ll either get the LP180 when it comes out, or spring for another Nikon unit. I don’t trust the Yongnuo flashes from all the reports of problems on the ‘net.

i went to buy a 160 found out they stopped selling them and waited for the update. but with the YN560 III out now i think i’ll stop wasting my time.

I have a couple of 160 which are a great value for the price. The issue for off camera flash users is which company will build in radio frequency manual and/or i/eTTL control. For manual flash users having the ability to dial in the exposure in 1/3 stop increments looks like the direction flash makers are going. Hopefully Lumopro is taking this direction

i will likely buy one or two, i have 2 lumopro 160′s, and really like them…. Only thing that will stop me is if they dont have more power adjustments! Only full stops, need 1/3 stop adjustments. I am selling off my sb80′s (just sold one, and have 1 left) hoping to get the 180′s to replace the sb’s….

Looks like it might have a way of taking modifiers on the head like grids and gels to be bought as an upsell kit… if it has its a great idea.. Head looks big enough to have a 200mm zoom..
