Nikon SB-5000 Speedlight

Light it right with the SB-5000 - Nikon's first radio-controlled Speedlight

Fast, reliable, and versatile, the SB-5000 offers unparalleled lighting performance in the field and the studio.

Radio signals allow working distances of 30 m and enable complex on- and off-camera setups: now you can work in any environment in which the line of sight is obstructed or an optical signal might be weakened by bright sunlight.

The new on-board cooling system allows more than 100 rapid-fire shots to be captured with the flash operating at full power.

And for photographers who can't lose a moment when the story breaks, the light, compact SB-5000 features uncluttered controls for intuitive operation.
