Together with Nikon’s new FX flagship, the D5, and DX flagship, the D500, the company has also announced their new flagship Speedlight, the SB-5000.
Optimized to work with the D5, the SB-5000 is the Speedlight from Nikon to come with a built-in radio. According to Nikon, when the SB-5000 is paired with the WR-R10 Wireless Remote Adapter set and a D5 or D500, the flash can operate and be triggered without a direct line of sight at a range of up to 30 meters. It can also control up to six groups or 18 Speedlights.
The SB-5000 also comes with an internal cooling system, which prevents it from overheating. As a result, the SB-5000 can fire up to 120 continuous shots at 5-second intervals.
The Nikon SB-5000 will be available in March, with an SRP of US$599.95 (approx. S$860.21).
