Nikon D850, SB-500 Group Flash Options How to trigger a Nikon SB-800 from a D850? Although a lot of people only upload images to Instagram from their smartphones, the app is much more than just a mobile photography platform. I shoot a Nikon D4S and I found that it's faster for me to simply slap a remote trigger on the SB-800 rather than hunt down which one of the 5 or 6 remote selections I need to accomplish the same thing. (permalink) with sb800? Dave They are too heavy for the X2T-n and it's hot shoe in my opinion. Energizer lithium batteries might be OK if there initial voltage isn't too high and does not damage the X2T-n and X1R-n units. That flash serves as a master that controls the remote flashes wirelessly with a series of coded preflashes. Scroll down and select the REMOTE by highlighting it and pressing the SEL button for two seconds. 1. I tried the SB-400 and it's such a feather weight that I felt that the X2T-n could safely carry it without over stressing the X2T-n. For a bit of fill from the SB-400 and catch lights in eyes I'd build a small diffuser using a food container like a butter tub but I'd find something with a cover that's about 3 inches (75mm) or a little larger. with one SB-800 mounted on your camera (D-100, D-70/D2H) to shoot DJI has a new gimbal, and it's compatible with some of the revolutionary accessories from the Ronin 4D.

If they had that option, then they likely had many of the useful options found in the more expensive flash lines. (permalink) If you want wireless TTL, your only real choices are to control the SB-800 with the onboard flash on a D70, or use another iTTL flash like an SB-600 or SB-800 as a master flash. Originally posted 10 months ago. What are our initial impressions? If I understand the manuals correctly the TT350N speedlight can command the TT685N both with radio and optical CLS/AWL. You could use an SC-29, SC-28 or SC-17 off camera hotshoe cable. I don't think the SB-400 has these either. This allows for the flash to be triggered by the camera with full programming functions. EternalWolf Photography edited this topic 14 months ago. Dave At least once and maybe twice it worked as expected. stand away from (outside) the SB-800's (master flash light on canera) I do own the SU800 but am looking to go radio and not quite ready to drop the money on the Nikon radio system for the D850 and radio capable flash units.just yet.

I am extremely frustrated now too, called supplier I ordered it from, they were good enough to take my money but not tell me they are 6 weeks away!!! I'd like to hear from people that HSS and TTL are not required but definitely need the option of controlling flash power in groups from the transmitter on the camera, as well as 1/3 stop control. If that works out, will grab extra receivers and Xpro transmitter, don't mind having a backup transmitter in the kit anyway. If you do that in a dark venue you had better have a flashlight. Given the lower flash power of the SB-400 I used f/2.8. I also used a cheap ebay radio trigger/receivers on them all, manually setting them. I've tested the X2T-n and X1R-n (Flashpoint branding) with two SB-800(s), one SB-700 and one SB-400. 9 months ago Today I Received You have to adjust the output of the flash manually.

(permalink) and a little more: The Godox X2T-n is not compatible with Nikon's "Unified Flash" system so the Flash Control menu in my D850 is unaware of the X2T-n and the hot shoe on the X2T-n is less than compatible so my D850 doesn't see my SB-400 installed on the X2T-n hot shoe. (The Wein worked with my point and shoot but not the d100). (permalink) Optical triggering is less reliable outdoors, or in an environment where other photographers are using flash. 6. Any members here that have had experience with these units, or perhaps suggest other third party options. I may not open the box immediately. Is the SU-800 any good? And does the X1 receiver have a PC sync socket so I can use them to fire studio packs as well? I might keep the X2T-n transmitter and buy a couple of Godox TT600 manual speedlights which have built in receivers. Hollo Duncan C - (permalink) I haven't even installed batteries. All flashes in your setup will have to be set manually however. Dennis copy/printing paper works fine. The results were a normal exposure followed by 3 stops over exposure and then 3 stops under exposure just as expected. But if the flash didn't have a repeating flash option (regardless of the manufacturer), it was very likely unable to do many other things that one may typically expect from a flash they buy.

I read the manual for the X2T-n a few weeks before so I probably had a little understanding of the X2T-n but it is quite logical. Ebay is next. As expected none of the other settings such as AA worked. Let's jump right into it. Anyway, I'm going way off topic so to bring it back to what Duncan said in as far as the SB-600 as a master flash, no, it can't do that, but I agree that with those who feel Nikon could have upgraded the firmware for the 600 to accept that role. (permalink). 4. 13 months ago I cut a 1.75 x 6 inch strip. Dave Re: iTTL requires SB-800 connected to camera's shoe. Weve chosen cameras that can take great photos and make it easy to get great looking video, rather than being the ones youd choose as a committed videographer. Unless Nikon lightened up and gave the SB-600 a firmware update, the SB-600 can't play the role of 'master anything'.

Finally if possible I'd like to control the Flashpoint R2 Mark II (X2T-n) from the integrated in camera Photo shooting menu, Flash Control sub-menu. I wonder if the X2T-n is working only in TTL BL or only in TTL (Standard)? I found the X2T-n logical enough that I didn't need to refer to the manual except that I once I turned the illumination off on the X2T-n. My plan was to eventually get the Xpro as the fully featured transmitter but will start with the X2 to test functionality. This may be because of the use of Ni-MH batteries as noted in the instructions. What Are The Prerequisites To Capture Long Exposure Shots? I have been using the godox pro trigger and receivers for my SB 800 for a couple of years now. Given the uncertainty regarding the future availability of Godox X1R-n receivers I just pulled the trigger on However, the SB-28DX is far ahead of and more powerful than the 600, (I think the 28DX's guide number may even be close to the SB-900's). The build quality continues to bother me. 13 months ago Originally posted 12 months ago. thanks. Most modern cameras will shoot video to one degree or another, but these are the ones wed look at if you plan to shoot some video alongside your photos.

(permalink), DrKillJoy: Years ago i purchased what was then the top of the range SB-800 Speedlite for Nikon D40. So I suppose that's why I haven't committed the steps necessary to get the 800 to trigger using it's own remote system. My thinking I'll go ahead and return the set since TTL doesn't work properly with my SB-800(s). Avoid the Yongnuo they are difficult to set the Godox with its LCD display is far superior ..owned both. I found that there was a consistent common characteristic in flash models that could be set to a repeating mode. Just set the SB-800 to SU-4 mode, and adjust it's power manually. any flsh on the camera what kind of radio or IR slave will work I will be returning the X1R-n receivers as I am not confident in their ability to stand up to holding my SB-800(s) in umbrella brackets. The SB-400 is easy to carry as replacement for the popup that is missing from the D850, D780, Z6 II and Z7 II among others. The SB-700 and SB-400 both performed as expected. This includes the SB-600, which as I said, I do like, but really only as a slave to the SB-800, (which I also have). I may in the future buy an X2T-n and a pair of TT600(s) which are manual only speedlights.

I had to remember to push the "set" button before shooting. It is the X1 N transmitter that has a a PC sync port not the X1 receiver Using Ni-MH batteries I found exposure compensation, -3 to +3 stops, did not function correctly most of the time. Went to go use my SB800 today and it's stuck in this mode. An SC-29 is also useful for mounting a Nikon flash to a bracket, even when it's the only flash in your setup. thanks. 2. Because time for a return to Adorama is running out I setup a return. thanks again for the kind explanation. Interestingly today was the closure of a three month saga with one of the few remaining camera stores down here. Dave High resolution, weather-sealed bodies and wide dynamic range are all important. I don't know if TTL BL actually works as balanced fill. Originally posted 10 months ago. I tested manual flash control and found it to be predictable and reliable while using Ni-MM batteries.
