Strobe advice – SB 800
-
Anyone know if it is advisable or possible to use an SB 800 as an off camera extra flash head in an existing studio kit? I have a portrait session tomorrow and one of my flash heads has just exploded. I was thinking of picking up a tilt head hotshoe and popping it on my light stand with the umbrella. I have an infrared transmitter but am not sure what settings to put the SB 800 on and if I can adjust the flash output. Any advice very appreciated!
Sorry the response is late, but you can use the sb-800 off camera. If I recall correctly you have to play with some commander settings on
your camera. Can’t recall the exact details though….Thanks Mark. I will give it a try. I think I am down to trial and error on this one.
you can use sb-800/900/600/700 trough CLS or as as slave/photo cell only sb800/900
CLS = Creative Lighting System it will let you use build in flash as a trigger it transfer TTL and also you can set groups and whats most important set power of your SB in you cameraI know its late replay buy may be useful for others
