Radio controlled remote built in the flash for Nikon? - haring - 12-06-2013
Is there a speedlite/flash unit with built in radio remote for Nikon?
I would like to remotely control my off camera flash with my on camera
flash. I am not looking for a separate remote unit like packetwizard. I
would like the remote built in the flash itself. Canon has the 600EX-RT
with a remote in the flash. You can filly control the off camera flash
with the on camera Canon flash. Currently Nikon doesn't have a flash
like this however I am wondering whether there is any Chinese made flash
unit with features similar to the Canon 600EX-RT.

Hi haring,
The higher-end flash units by Nikon (SB-800, SB-900) can be controlled using on-camera flash or even in-camera flash. Nikon calls this the Creative Lighting System (CLS). It is not radio-controlled, but communication is done within a pre-flash.
Unfortunately, I don't remember which flash units are capable of acting as the master on the camera. I believe it is SB-600 and upwards, but I might be wrong. The D90 I had a while ago had a built-in flash which could trigger my off-camera SB-800 just fine.
For a simple setup this might be sufficient. A radio-controlled setup has ist own advantages, of course.

Hi Haring, SB-800 and SB-900 have built in radio to control other flashes. I am not sure up to how many. In addition you can control the intensity of each external flash through sb 800 or sb 900. I have SB-600, it doesn't have the same abilities. SB 600 can be used as off camera flash(es), it will communicate well with SB 800. And last, but not least SB 600 is un-expensive.
