Hey yall, I am looking to pick up a flash and I don't really know too much about them / what to look for. All I know is I want tilt and swivel. I am stuck between:

Bolt -- http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/750855-REG/Bolt_VS_510P_Wireless_TTL_Speedlight.html

and the Sigma -- http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/741743-REG/Sigma_199109_EF610_DG_ST_Flash.html

Reviews for both are good, but it seems like the Bolt is much better for a little bit more $$. I'm thinking it is better to get the Bolt, but any feedback would be nice. I know that typically with camera stuff you get what you pay for.

This is hands down the best there is, its the cheaper version of a canon flash but I swear its almost better...

I know that I sound like a noob, but will this flash and receiver work with my canon t3i hacked with ML?

what do you want to use it for?
On camera? Off camera?
do you care about TTL?
