Product Description

Nikon's R1C1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight System, featuring two SB-R200 Speedlights, delivers superb close-up lighting control with exceptional flexibility. The included SU-800 Wireless Speedlight Commander enables use with Nikon i-TTL SLRs without built-inSpeedlights, including D2X, D2HS, D2H and F6. The SU-800 Wireless Speedlight Commander also extends close-up control flexibility when used with select i-TTL SLRs with built-in Speedlights. Supporting Nikon's Creative Lighting System (CLS) with Nikon's exclusive i-TTL (intelligent-TTL) flash technology, the R1C1 system offers sophisticated lighting possibilities with remarkable accuracy. The system includes all of the components necessary to make close-up lighting easy. For those already enjoying the Creative Lighting System with the SB-800 and SB-600 Speedlights, the SU-800 Commander and SB-R200 Speedlight can be purchased as individual items to implement into an existing lighting kit. The SU-800 eliminates the need for a Master SB-800 unit on camera and can command up to three groups of Speedlights (A, B and C), while the SB-R200 is a impressive remote Speedlight that can be used in a variety of creative lighting schemes with or without the SB-800 and SB-600.

This review is from: Nikon R1C1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight Kit for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics)

The accompanying instruction book is very complicated & hard to understand (for a novice). Once mastered, the product produces very reliable, good lighting for macro or micro work. BUT don't make my mistake...you only need an R1 if you have a D80 & some of the newer models (I think the D200) which have the capability of the controller unit (pictured on top of the camera) BUILT in. If you have a D40, or D70 & some other models then the R1C1 is needed. ALSO you have to go into the programming of the camera that has it built in (D80, D200) to make the correct settings for the control unit to fire the flashes. Overall, I'm very pleased with the thought and design. Plan to spend a good deal of time on the learning curve (where I am now).

Excelent equipment as usual from Nikon.
Nice carrying case and ease of instalation on my different close-up lenses. Required setup and configurations are straighforward with impressive results.
