Description
Lighting up for any situation with the SB-5000 - our first Speedlight with radio control.
Fast, reliable and versatile, the SB-5000 offers unmatched outdoor and studio lighting quality. Radio signals allow you to operate up to 30 meters away and create sophisticated lighting settings with and without camera flash - you can now work in any environment where there is obstruction along the line of sight or the optical signal may be dimmed by the brightness the sun. The new built-in cooling system allows you to capture over 100 fast sequential shots at full flash power. And for photographers who can't afford to miss the highlight, the lightweight and compact SB-5000 has simplified controls for intuitive operation.
SPEEDLIGHT PROFESSIONAL FLASHLIGHT for unsurpassed illumination quality
Designed to meet the needs of outdoor and studio professionals, the SB-5000 is an i-TTL Speedlight flash compatible with D-SLR cameras in FX and DX formats. This Speedlight works as a hot-plug mount, as a remote control module or remote flash unit, and is part of Nikon's Creative Lighting system. This is the first Nikon Speedlight to offer wireless radio control, which eliminates the need for a direct line of sight between the main and subordinate flash and increases the reliability of shooting in bright sunlight. For situations requiring rapid sequential shooting, the new Nikon cooling system increases the number of sequential triggers and eliminates unnecessary interruptions. Other features include a 34.5 flagship and a wide FX format magnification range of 24-200mm (14mm with flash scatter panel). Optimized controls and menus ensure smooth operation, and the compact and lightweight design ensures comfortable operation in the camera. The three lighting methods offer full control over the flash coverage for specific shooting conditions. The built-in flash diffuser panel and reflection card plus the optional dome diffuser are combined with Nikon's optional color filters to further enhance your creativity.
EMERGENCY CONTROL: ADVANCED WIRELESS CONTROLLING OF RADIO CONTROLLING Designed to overcome difficult shooting situations, the SB-5000 fully supports the new radio control feature of Nikon's Creative Lighting System. You can now illuminate with one or more flash settings using the SB-5000 and the WR-R10 wireless remote control. The SB-5000's ability to respond flexibly to distant lighting challenges allows you to create and manage just about any lighting layout, including complex multi-flash compositions. When combined with the WR-R10 wireless remote control, up to six SB-5000 flash combinations are supported. Optical control is also fully supported, which means that previous Speedlight models can continue to be used for various lighting layouts.
SPEEDLIGHT PROFESSIONAL FLASH, NOT OVERHEATING, HOW MUCH PICTURES TO TAKE From the red carpet to the runway, the SB-5000 is designed to not overheat under load. To handle situations that require fast sequential shooting, the SB-5000 incorporates a new Nikon Speedlight Cooling System - the first in the world * with built-in temperature control for compact flash units. Fast and reliable, it achieves a whopping 120 shots at 5-second intervals or 84 shots at 3-second intervals. More than 100 consecutive shots can be taken at full flash power. The system suppresses the generation of heat in the flash head and thus prevents it from overheating: thermal protection has never been better before.
* As of September 1, 2015, the SB-5000 is equipped with the world's first integrated cooling system in compact flash type flash units.
Seamless integration with NIKON's well-known creative illumination system At the heart of the SB-5000 is Nikon's i-TTL (intelligent lens metering) flash control, enabling Nikon's Speedlight to share important exposure information with CLS-compliant D-SLR cameras. The SB-5000 can be controlled by radio signals as part of a set-up with advanced wireless illumination control or in the traditional way using optical line-of-sight signals. Performance enhancements include unified flash control, which adds an extra level of control to the system. You can now operate the SB-5000 or change its settings from the camera menu or from a computer with Camera Control Pro 2 software installed when the flash is mounted on the body of the camera.
COMPACT CONSTRUCTION, SIMPLE MANAGEMENT Lighter than the previous model and more intuitive to work with, the SB-5000's construction has been redesigned to make it more comfortable. You'll notice the difference as soon as you mount the SB-5000 to your camera or put it in your travel bag - its compact body weighs only 420 g. The simplified control panel allows for a large and legible information screen. The rotary multi selector and the "i" button provide quick access to commonly used or customized functions, for example the "i" button instantly displays a list of basic flash settings for single flash or advanced wireless lighting control. As with the previous model, the SB-5000's flash head tilts down to 7 ° and up to 90 ° and rotates horizontally 180 ° left and right.
Charger Panasonic Eneloop Pro Smart & Quick Charger + 4 pcs. AA Battery (2500 mAh)
Charger eneloop Pro Smart & Quick Charger included with 4 pcs. eneloop pro 2500 mAh (BK-3HCDE) batteries.
These batteries are particularly suitable for use with devices such as photographic flash units and function perfectly at extreme temperatures.
eneloop pro offer a long life cycle with up to 500 recharges, low self-discharge and are fully recyclable. They come ready for use, pre-loaded with electricity generated from solar energy.
What are eneloop batteries?
Why were eneloop batteries created?
Change the future by changing your battery. Do you know how many disposable batteries we use and dispose of each year? What can we do to preserve nature? What does the environmental battery of the future look like? Panasonic's answer is eneloop.
 | A nature-friendly way of life eneloop offer you a different choice. Developed with the thought of sustainable development and care for the planet, eneloop is based on the 'Recharge' and 'Reuse' principles for creating a clean energy society. So that we can live in harmony with the Earth. |
| Economic benefits Although the initial cost of rechargeable batteries is higher, your eneloop investment will only come back after a few recharge cycles, and you will save a lot in the long run. Eneloop batteries can be recharged up to 2,100 times. |  |
 | Thinking of the environment According to some estimates, more than 40 billion disposable batteries have been used and disposed of over the past year. Using eneloop will reduce the amount of discarded disposable batteries and help keep the environment clean. |
| Ready for use and low self-discharge You get your new eneloop loaded and ready to use immediately after purchase. Eneloop technology allows them to store 70% of their charge for up to 10 years. |  |
 | Reliable energy One of the main advantages of eneloop is the high voltage. With traditional Ni-MH batteries, the voltage drops steadily and quickly reaches levels below 1.1V, making them unusable in many cases. eneloop hold the voltage above this critical level until almost their final dilution. So you can count on them much longer. |
| Suitable for use at low temperatures eneloop performs well at temperatures around 0ºC and can be used even at -20ºC. Even under such extreme conditions, eneloop shows a low degree of self-dilution. |  |
