Fast, reliable and versatile, the NIKON SB 5000 delivers unparalleled lighting performance in the field and in the studio. Radio signals allow for operating distances of 30 m as well as complex setups with the flash mounted on or off the camera: now you can work in any environment where line of sight is obstructed or where an optical signal can be weakened by direct sunlight. The new internal cooling system allows you to capture more than 100 images in burst mode with the flash running at full power.
