Is it true the SB-900 overheats and shuts down?

That was a problem with the early SB900

Yes if you overworked it with rapid fire and didn't turn off the thermal cut out it would shut down until it cooled off or until you put in another set of cool batteries. This is not uncommon with flash units. I was working a wedding with a gal shooting Canon who was shooting very fast and hers shut down. I gave her a set of new batteries and she was good to go. My buddy has two 900's and uses them with Quantum Turbo battery packs and never has a problem. Of course he doesn't shoot with a motor drive firing all the time. Electronics......don't overdue it and you're fine. Thanks for the inquiry.

Yes, the fix for the SB-910 is that it is limited on the number of sequential flashes in a row to prevent overheating. I have both versions and never overheated any of them.

SOLD.....If you have a D3 you can get updated firmware for the flash through the camera to help prevent over heating.
