The model A1 is from the same family and it is available currently in Nikon and Canon compatible versions with more expected.

Design & Build Quality

The A1 looks somewhat similar to a conventional shoe mounted portable strobe. However, the similarities end there and looks as everyone knows can be deceptive! The head is circular and is rather large with a specially designed lens. These features contribute to much better quality of light as it is, without the use of any light modifiers. This strobe also uses a rechargeable Li-ion battery as the power source. This offers many advantages over the conventional batteries. The build is very robust and heavy duty.
