“Does what it says on the tin.” But….
It’s a good item for the price and works well.
However, there is only one lens it will work with and that’s an 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Nano USM. (The “Nano USM” is the important part as it has the couplings and electrical connections.)
These can be picked up circa £200 second hand (Sept 2023).
So, let’s say you have the correct lens and the power zoom add-on gadget. Combined cost in the ballpark of £350.
It zooms in an out nicely very smoothly and soes all the things it’s supposed to do.
The downside is it’s a little slow for still photography. You will find yourself removing the device in frustration because it’s quicker to zoom by hand.
If you want it to make movies, then you will love its smooth one touch zoom action.
Summary
If you already own the 18-135 USM nano lens, then it’s a good deal for movie makers.
Still photographers will eventually see it as nothing more than an expensive toy.

simple easy
Assembly and installation very simple. Good product.
Putting it up was easy, that said most people can put a shelf up.
The shelf itself is 4cm thick as such while it's going to be strong and sturdy it may not blend into the decor too well.

4 of 5 found this helpful You need to be sure this is what you need. In its hay day this was the top of the line Canon flash. That said it can still hold its own as a high end, high performance flash.
Think about how you are going to use it.
I bought it as a "master" flash for my EOS1 mkiii so I can use my EZ430ii as a slave.
While it will work outdoors, it's best used in a studio environment. If your thinking of attaching the 580EXII to your EOS80 and using it outside for fill in flash, then yes sure it will do the job perfectly but its overkill.
In the studio as a master flash controlling groups of slave flash(es) it will come into its own and is where it will perform best.
In short, be sure you need one. If most of your work is out side when all you need is a fill-in flash there are cheaper models available and you would not need all the bells and whistles of the 580EXII
