Nikon Unveils SB-5000 Flagship Speedlight with Radio Triggering

January 14, 2016 By Eric Reagan

Nikon-SB-5000

Alongside the new D5 and D500, Nikon also announced a new flagship speedlight – the SB-5000, which works with the companion WR-R10 radio trigger.

When paired with the WR-R10, the SB-5000 can trigger up to 98 feet away. The SB-5000 can control up to six groups or 18 speedlights. The SB-5000 also has an internal cooling system that prevents overheating from consecutive firings.

Controls have also been streamlined and refined, with the addition of an “i” button for access to frequently used settings. The flash head can tilt down to -7° or up to 90° and will rotate 180° to the left or right.

The Nikon SB-5000 will be available in March for $599.95. You can pre-order it now here at B&H Photo.
