Is this item any good please?

I wouldn't bother with something that doesn't do some form of ETTL. From the look of it that's a fixed output flash, so to get the exposure right you would have to juggle the aperture and ISO. There's no mention of guide number so it might be no stronger than your on-board flash. The only advantage is the tilt, but you're probably better off with some kind of scoop with your on-board flash.

No, don't waste your money.
