Title: Radio controlled remote built in the flash for Nikon?
Post by: haring on December 06, 2013, 08:26:43 am

I would like to remotely control my off camera flash with my on camera flash. I am not looking for a separate remote unit like packetwizard. I would like the remote built in the flash itself. Canon has the 600EX-RT with a remote in the flash. You can filly control the off camera flash with the on camera Canon flash. Currently Nikon doesn't have a flash like this however I am wondering whether there is any Chinese made flash unit with features similar to the Canon 600EX-RT.

Nikon will have one along with a camera body which hasa transceiver built-in, just like the Canon EOS 1D X.

Until then and maybe even after then,  I'll continue to use the Pocketwizard ControlTL system .

Pocket wizards,  pw TT5, and Radio Poppers are what we have today along with the Chinese radio controls. Choose the convenience, range and price you can afford.
