Nikon’s most advanced flash, the SB-5000, has built-in radio control. This means you can use the flash with any newer Nikon body off-camera.
You’ll need the WR-A10 and WR-T10 accessories to use the flash off-camera. But you can use the flash even if the camera and flash can’t see each other. So it opens up a lot more flash techniques.
One thing to note is the radio control only works with Nikon’s DSLR cameras. These include the D5, D850, D500, and D7500. (It also works for Nikon mirrorless cameras—the Z7 and Z6.)
It has the fastest recycle time among Nikon’s speedlights. That’s because it has a built-in cooling system. This prevents the flash from overheating, allowing up to 100 consecutive shots.
With a guide number of 113 feet at 35mm and 180 feet at 200mm, it’s one of Nikon’s most powerful flashes. It also includes TTL mode and an autofocus assist beam.
The flash includes high-speed sync and slow sync. It also has first and second curtain firing modes.
The Nikon SB-5000 Speedlight is their best flash. It isn’t cheap, but it’s a professional-grade flash system that won’t let you down.
