(permalink), Mr. Speedlight: lighting capacity, did you ever try fill out flashes (one or two extra SB-800s) Good luck. You can fire the SB 800 with the D100 by setting the Sb-800 to SU4 mode in the settings of the flash. 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). These cables pass all the pins from the hotshoe to the flash, and let you operate the flash as if it was on the camera. I emphasize that the construction of the X2T-n is light duty and I DO NOT recommend shooting with an SB-700, SB-800 on to the SB-910. stand away from (outside) the SB-800's (master flash light on canera) 13 months ago It may not display this or other websites correctly. That could mess one up in the field and shots could be lost. 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. I'm considering a Godox TT350N Mini speedlight as an optical master for use with a Nikon D850 and a couple of SB-800(s). Anyway, the SB-28DX has all the settings/performance of the SB-700, 800, and maybe even the 900.

I did some searching around the Godox website and think I know what you are using but would like to ask a clarification. Did I get confused? I have no faith in their ability to hold the SB-800(s) when held horizontally, one on left and one on right of an umbrella or soft box bracket. Still can't find a PDF manual. With the flash unit turned on, press and hold the SEL button for two seconds. The X2T-n and X1R-n seem rather light duty to me.
I piggy back a Phottix Strato II receiver on a Phottix Strato II transmitter for shutter release with my D800 and D850. Use "+/" to choose Group A, B or C. Note: Please be sure to choose the same channel number as set on the Master flash unit or in the Commander mode in your camera. mikemwong@aol.com I hope to test my SB-800(s) with the X2T-n and X1R-n in manual mode tonight to double check. Dave Thanks for the feedback Dave! Mr. Speedlight edited this topic 9 months ago. thanks. It took a lot of ringing around and searching online to find the answer to what I thought would be a simple question, even the importer of Godox here was unhelpful. (permalink), thank you 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. thanks. http://www.nyfirephotos.com Originally posted 10 months ago. Ok, I have a D2H and I want to use the sb800 on a stand not having I like the SB-600 but not as much as my SB-28DX, which also can't run as a master and isn't even part of the Nikon CLS line. (permalink), Mr. Speedlight: The SB-700 and SB-400 both performed as expected. Setting the group(s), channel and custom settings was fairly strait foreword. 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.

In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for shooting landscapes, and recommended the best. My 3rd party remote triggers don't allow TTL to work but then I never shoot in that mode anyway. (The SC-29 has an AF assist light on it; the SC-17 does not. I might pull the trigger on the X1T and X1R next week, only about 80 bucks. A mounting arrangement for holding a speedlight flat for umbrellas is a requirement for me. How does Laowa's latest full-frame lens perform? I'm on hold. If you're shooting indoors, it works well to mount any cheap flash on your camera, as long as that flash has a tilting head and manual power control.
