I've had two of those and one suddenly decided to stop working and then caught fire next time I started it. The other one just did this really bright flash once which sounded like an explosion. It didn't work anymore after that.

well i guess im glad im not buying it.
ive never heard anything bad about this flash and im pretty excited for it.
im hoping it will help me learn alot more than going for one of the auto sync ones that does all the configuring for me.

I have one.. it def has a learning curve, but not too steep. It's similar to the learning curve for manual exposure on a camera, but a little steeper.

other cheap flashes in this range swivel and rotate

besides

a bracket isn't going to make it rotate anyway
