Nikon SB-5000 AF Speedlight

Under the umbrella of Nikon's innovative technology, the SB-5000 AF Speedlight stands as a testament to advanced wireless lighting solutions. This groundbreaking flash unit operates via radio frequency, eliminating the need for a direct line of sight and offering an impressive range of up to approximately 98 feet (30 meters). This feature provides photographers with the flexibility to position lights in separate rooms, around corners, and to work seamlessly in bright ambient light with maximum efficiency. When used in conjunction with the WR-R10 and either the D5 or D500, the SB-5000 Speedlight can control up to six groups (A-F) or 18 Speedlights, paving the way for truly advanced wireless lighting.

Furthermore, it supports Advanced Wireless Lighting using either radio-controlled (up to three groups) or optical-controlled units (up to three groups). This is achievable by attaching a conventional, optical-control Nikon Speedlight or the SU-800 Commander (as a master or commander unit) and a WR-R10 (as a commander) onto the D5. The SB-5000 Speedlight also boasts a compact design, integrated with its own internal cooling system. This unique feature prevents the flash panel from overheating due to consecutive firings. As a result, the SB-5000 can fire consecutively for longer durations than conventional models, without requiring flash cool-down time between bursts.

It can fire up to 120 continuous shots at 5-second intervals. The controls on the SB-5000 Speedlight have been streamlined and refined for user convenience. An "i" button has been added for quick access to frequently used settings. The design also incorporates versatile bounce ability, with the flash head capable of tilting down to -7 degrees or up to 90 degrees, and rotating horizontally 180 degrees to the left and right. This Nikon SB-5000 AF Speedlight is a powerful tool for photographers seeking to elevate their lighting game.
