Nikon SB-R200 Remote
Speedlight and SU-800
Commander Unit
Designed to make macro
lighting easy whilst also
expanding the creative
potential for general
multiple- flash photography,
the new equipment was
designed with the
co-operation of specialist
macro photographers from the
wildlife and medical
sectors.
SB-R200
The SB-R200 is a new compact
Speedlight for Remote
Speedlight operation in two
different shooting
conditions. As part of a
newly developed mini system
for close-up flash
photography, the SB-R200 is
both lightweight and
compact, which means it can
be inserted into a dedicated
ring attached to the lens to
direct light onto small
subjects. It is also fully
compatible with Nikon’s
Advanced Wireless Lighting
system, meaning it can be
used in multiple lighting
situations with SB-800 and
SB-600 units.
Flexible Control
The SB-R200 can be
controlled either by the
SU-800 Commander unit or a
SB-800 Speedlight in Master
mode. Additionally, Nikon
D-SLRs with a Commander mode
for the built-in Speedlight
(D70s/D70/D200) can control
SB-R200 units as well.
SU-800
The multi-functional SU-800
unit forms the nerve centre
of any i-TTL multiple
flash-lighting situation;
close-up photography or
otherwise. Capable of
metering and triggering
groups of remote Speedlights
in the Creative Lighting
System, a one-touch switch
fully automates accurate
exposures of small subjects
instantly. Manual adjustment
of the balance of each
unit’s output is simple to
control through the
comprehensive LCD panel.
Close-up photography kits
available
Two special kits dedicated
to close-up photography are
available, depending on the
type of camera the customer
already owns. The first is
the complete Nikon Close-up
Speedlight Commander Kit
SB-R1C1, consisting of the
SU-800 commander, two
SB-R200 units with
attachment ring, lens
adapters, filters and more.
A less expensive option is
the Nikon Close-Up Remote
Kit SB-R1 that contains two
SB-R200 units and necessary
adaptor rings, filters etc.
but without the SU-800. This
is an attractive option for
D70/D70s/D200 customers who
can use their cameras’
built-in Speedlight in
Commander mode to trigger
the remote units.
Both kits come complete with
a host of accessories to
help users get maximum
control over their close-up
flash shooting, such as the
Extreme Close-Up positioning
adapter SW-11, Colour Filter
Set SJ-R200, Diffuser SW-12
and Flexible Arm Clip SW-C1.
Customize your own Creative
Lighting System
The SU-800 and SB-R200 units
are also available
separately to enable
customers to expand their
existing Creative Lighting
System of SB-800 and SB-600
Speedlights.
SC-30 cord
The optional SC-30 cord set
enables TTL flash exposure
control of 2 SB-R200 units
with non i-TTL cameras such
as the D1
series/D100/F5/F100.
