Any suggestion? Thanks
The Nikon SB 400 works well and is light to carry. Godox tt685n is another good one with a lot of power.

You have a great camera that is capable of integrating fully with Nikon's most capable speedlights. I second the recommendation for a SB-800. If you want something small, look for a used SB-400. It can be controlled by the camera's menu system. Just be aware that it sits very low, and can vignette with some large lenses.
Another vote for the sb-800. That is what I use with my d500.

Love my SB800 but got the smaller, lighter SD500 for my Z50. I prefer the 800, but there's a big difference in weight . And my Z50 is great indoors without flash!
The SB-500 is a wonderful little flash. Small, compact and plenty of power.

I bought an SB-500 for my Z6 because of its size. IMHO, it's a pitifully underpowered flash, using only 2 batteries, and adding little light. I find the SB-700 a big improvement. If you really want one, PM me a reasonable offer. Best of luck.

I use the smallish sb-500 0n my D-850 which has no pop up flash. It is 100 per cent with that camera and is programed thru the cameras menu. Not all 3rd party speed lights are like that. Does everything I need as I don't need to light up a city block.

The SB910 is a bit larger but more powerful.

I purchased a real inexpensive speed light from Amazon for $39.99 & it works great. It also has tti. Model Focus FC-1000 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077MNN9F4?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

I agree with used sb-800. These days can be had for $100. Very versatile. Bit of a learning curve for the menu structure.
I agree, very capable flash at a good price.
Yongnu also makes good flashes.
