Nikon SB-5000 Speedlight Flash

Nikon SB-5000 Features:

Radio-controlled Advanced Wireless Lighting

The Nikon SB-5000 speedlight can be triggered through radio signals, instead of the traditional infrared. Radio signals does not require line of sight and can work up to 30 meters, enabling complex lighting setups and giving you creative freedom. Other advantages includes no signal loss from strong light and a almost non-existent miss-rate

New cooling system that enables more than 100 continuous flashes

The SB-5000 is equipped with a new cooling system that cools the flash head. The cooling system has been significantly improved, keeping the flash panel from overheating and enabling more than 100 continuous flashes. As the cooling system keeps the Speedlight from overheating, professional and advanced amateur photographers can enjoy more comfortable and active flash photography.

14-200mm standard illumination pattern

A wide 14-200mm standard illumination pattern will enable you to light both wide angle and close-up shots.
