SB800's from Ebay. The head can be turned up and behind you for pleasing indoor flash. I set my camera to manual and my flash on TTL. Works really well.

I really like Nikon’s speedlights, but for off camera use, a radio remote is invaluable.
I’m loving my Godox (Adorama Flashpoint) lights.
Built-in radio transceivers and a ton of accessories and light options.
On the upper end for Godox speedlights, the V1 is amazing. Really long battery life.

It’s all I took for a wedding in France last month.

At $110, the TT685 is better on the budget.

The Lithium-ion powered Ving 860 will have you shooting all day on one charge for $179

The X-
ProN Transmitter
is really intuitive to use.
They just came out with the X2 transmitter which is a bit more compact and better UI than the X1, which is a bit wonky tpo use.

I also have an AD 200, my favorite!... supposedly 3x the power of a speedlight in a package not much bigger, and an AD 600 monolight.
Those last two will work with Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus/Panasonic as the built-in recedivers know what kind of transmitter you are using. A Canon-shooting friend and I share.


I rarely pull out my Bowens monolight kit anymore.

Bought my Godox VING 850-II from amazon Canon version. First one came dead on delivery.. Charged the battery turned it ON then hit the test flash.... NOTHING! Sent back to Amazon. had problem on Friday had a new flash delivered Sunday and works perfect. Some 2nd and 3rd party stuff is like going to harbor freight, thank god the return policy is good. If I could afford the Canon speed light, I would buy it. Anyway , bless all.... the second GODOX is working just fine.. and the auto zoom is spot on also

I'm looking for a good off-camera flash for my Nikon D7200. I haven't done much with flash in the past but now find myself shooting about 100 shots a week using it. I want to replace my current--and old--Vivitar DF 383 with something similar that is of better quality. I need a quick recycle time and better TTL function. I've looked at Nikon's SB300, 500, and 700 models. What are your experiences with them and what other brands might you recommend looking at? Thanks!


I have a d7100 and bought an sb700 a few years ago. Good flash but doesn't have a buult-in receiver. Earlier this year I bought the Godox TT685 flash along with the Godox X-proN transmitter. I also bought their receiver to connect to my SB700. The TT685 is more powerful than the Sb700. Most of the time I'm using the TR685 simply because it is an easier setup. I love the Godox products. Recycle time is quick and has never been a problem.

Awesome! for the price you cant beat it. I would like to get the trigger also for off camera flash. It's actually cheaper than a hot shoe cable!! LOL
