HSS Capable Flash for D7100?

The only flash units I've found that will do high speed synch (1/1000 and faster) with the D7100 are the Nikon branded SB-700/900/910. Does anyone make a third-party flash that will do HSS with my 7100?

Reason: BigSig 150-500mm and rainy/drippy/cloudy Oregon weather. I need fill flash but also need to shoot at high speed.

Thanks, hl. I wasn't aware of that model. I have Yongnuo 468 II's and 560 III's and like Yongnuo. Looks like that will be the next addition to the fleet, and at a good price. :)

Also available thru Amazon with US warranty for a few bucks less than ordering from Hong Kong.

The Phottix Mitros integrates perfectly with the Nikon system.

Keep in mind, you lose power from the flash rapidly in HSS mode.
The flash duration will essentially be longer so it will illuminate the sensor for the time it takes for the curtain to travel from one side to the other.

Thanks, Cliff, but I didn't mention I wanted to stay below the SB-700's $250 price.

Yup, thanks. I've also got a Better Beamer on order, so I think I'll be okay.

I'd really be interested to see what you come up with.
Heard good things about the Better Beamer.

Yeah - the Mitros is more comparable to the 910. Good flash, though.

I have the QFLASH TRIO for my D700/D800 and it supports HSS on Nikon. Expensive, but it may cover your 7100.

BTW, I love my Quantums. Adorama has what appears to be Flashpoint's but.....restrictions on capabilities.

The Nikon SB-600 does high speed sync if you don't mind going used, I've seen them on eBay starting at about $150

The only problem with the 568 is that it does not have external connection to power source.
