Great Gear!

January 30, 2015

Verified Purchase

The SU-800 is a first rate piece of gear.
For years, I have been using manual flash with my Nikon DSLRs, partly because of the initial difficulty I had getting my off-camera flashes to fire reliably.
Manual flash with a Sekonic L358 light meter works superbly, as long as you have time to set it up and the subject stays a relatively constant distance.
Dancers at at reception are an excellent example of when TTL is the best solution., and TTL with an SU-800 is the way to go. It is fast, reliable and allows you to adjust your flash settings quickly and reliably from the unit itself .
This is an easy commander to use and once you learn it your percentage of keepers will go way up.
The SU-800 is a well designed, well made unit and I would most highly recommend it.

I really like it

September 27, 2009

Verified Purchase

The SU-800 is lightweight and very easy to maneuver flash settings from. The range in outdoor sun light can be limiting due to the I/R signal. The cost compared to Radios Poppers, Pocket Wizards and other triggering devices is justifiable for what it does, you get TTL flash capability for about $250.00 and you don't need a receiver for every flash like the other devices. You can control a host of units in 3 separate groups with 4 different channels The thing I really like about the SU800 is the fact it doesn't emit a flash from the camera that contributes light to the exposure/subject. No cables are involved and it's rather seamless on the camera hot shoe. The screen is easy to see and as I said it's very easy to maneuver flash settings from while on your camera. All in all it's a great device, is it perfect? No not really, it would be nice if it operated off of a Radio Frequency signal rather than a Infra-Red signal and allowed higher sync speed up to 1/8000 like the Radio Poppers do.
I've had very few misfires because I work through the obstacles and know the limitations of this unit, is it worth the money? Well..... I think it is:-)

The pluses:
It's true TTL
it's light weight
easy to adjust settings while on camera
doesn't contribute to the exposure of your subject
you don't need cables
doesn't need a receiver like Pocket Wizards and other triggers

The minuses are:
you will need direct line of sight to your off camera flash units, SB600, SB800 or SB900.
Range is some what limited (you have to learn how to work around obstacles)
It's doesn't always fire.
I/R signal vs RF

it is fine. I own 2 Nikon SB-700 speedlights so if ...

October 19, 2014

The Nikon SU-800 works flawlessly indoors. That is where I use it most often. It won't work if there is direct Sun on the other speedlights. It can't communicate with the other flashes even when the Sun is low in the sky and not as bright as mid-day. As long as you know that, it is fine. I own 2 Nikon SB-700 speedlights so if I'm in direct sunlight I use one speedlight as a commander and the other speedlight as the backlight. They will communicate in direct Sunlight. I really enjoy using the SU-800 indoors it offers many exposure options.

Least Expensive Way To Trigger Nikon Off-Camera TTL Flash

December 15, 2014

Verified Purchase

Why purchase an entire flash unit to trigger off-camera flashes? It's lighter than a flash unit as well. To trigger off-camera Nikon flash units, while maintaining TTL functions, it does the job. I'm going to get another for my second camera.

Nikon CLS Using the SU-800 Wireless Commander

July 2, 2010

Verified Purchase

If you are using the Nikon CLS(Creative Lighting System), then you know that you the Commander Unit (SB-800, SB-900, SU-800, & Select Camera Models) is the kingpin you use to control all of your Speedlights.

I began using the SB-800, which seams like the best CLS choice. Having the Speedlight mounted to the camera gives you the best of both worlds. However, I was not happy with the way the On-Camera Speedlight communicated the signals to the other Off-Camera Speedlights. It sends a series of small pre-cursor flashes giving instructions to the other lights regarding the User set parameters or TTL settings.

This is a problem when shooting Portraits, and using Off-Camera Speedlights. The pre-flashes can cause your Subject/Model to blink, or make them uncomfortable. The SU-800 uses IR Signals to communicate instructions to other Speedlights, totally eliminating this problem. I also found through multiple testing environments, that the SU-800 gives me more consistant range (up to 100ft, sometimes more). This alternative method of Nikon Wireless Speedlight use seems ideal for my applications.

Other notes: Batteries (CR123) last longer in the SU-800 vs High-Output Lithium Ion AA's in SB-800, it weighs very little, & is much smaller in size than a Speedlight.

** If just starting out, buy (1) SB-800 or SB-900, (1) SB-600, then buy the SU-800. That way you can start using Nikon CLS right away, and build up you system.

Cheers, D.

An essential accessory if you use CLS and don't have a built-in Commander

Expensive for what it is, but lets me get some more use out of my D5000, which doesn't have the commander built in.
