- SB-5000 is fineIt doesn't seem to be that different from my SB-910's.
- Great FlashI used this flash to shoot a wedding, and it was fantastic with my D810. I used it for bounce flash, pushing it with full power shots and fairly quick sequences, and the new fan worked as advertised--no overheating. And the exposures were right on the money. I like the fact that it's smaller and lighter than the SB-900/910, and that you can connect it to an external battery. Now I'm hoping that Nikon finds a way to make the radio controls work with my D810!
- Not really compatible with muchI have a 810, and I've learned that this camera isn't compatible with the whole radio system they are selling this thing on. Additionally, the backup pocket wizard plusx's aren't compatible, either. Worse, even at night, when I set the flash on slave so that I can somehow fire it off camera, it has about a 20-30% fail rate. I could put another flash right up against it, and it still fails to act as a slave quite frequently. Really, there isn't much other option. I'd like to return it when I'm
- SB-5000 Does Not Do Radio ControlThis flash has been misrepresented by Nikon. It is claimed to be a Radio controlled flash but in order to get radio control to work with the latest flagship D5 DSLR camera you must purchase a WR-R10 radio and a WR-A10 adapter. Then you must send the WR-R10 to Nikon for repair to have it's firmware updated to version 3.0. By the way if you put the version 3.0 WR-R10 on a D810 it will lock up and no longer function. I purchased this flash in order to have radio communication to a
- Great upgrade, but, still looking forward to try radio triggerI purchased 3 of these units about a month ago and use them in my Creative Lighting System setups seamlessly. I use a Nikon D810 and Nikon D750 as my primary camera bodies and knew that I would not be able to trigger these flashes using the radio function. I wish Nikon would create a hotshoe controller to work with the radio triggers similar to the SU-800 IR wireless trigger. I know I can upgrade to the D5 or go with a D500, however, the D5 is a big price jump and I like the full frame sensor for shallow depth of field shots so the D500 doesn't quite work for me.
