When Interfit first released the Honey Badger, it just looked like a straight up copy of the Alien Bees DigiBee. But Interfit has is busting the Badger out of that mould with their next generation Badger Unleashed lithium-ion battery powered portable strobe.
It resembles the original Honey Badger but offers TTL and High Speed Sync. And, of course, there are no wires to worry about, thanks to a built-in battery.
The TTL and HSS capabilities are only compatible with Nikon, Canon and Sony using the Interfit radio system. Other brands can use it, but you only get manual control and only up to your sync speed. It has a 9 stop power range in 0.1 stop increments, with a 1.5 second full power recycle time. And you can expect to get up to 430 of those on a full battery charge.
