Product description A Guide to On-Camera Flash Read More Embrace lighting that is mobile and free from cords with this Nikon SB-5000 AF Speedlight Two Flash Wireless Portrait & Fashion Kit from . Bundling together two flagship SB-5000 Speedlights with the WR-A10 Wireless Remote Adapter and WR-R10 Wireless Remote Controller system for D5 and D500 DSLRs, this kit will help users get everything they need to embrace radio-controlled wireless lighting. It also packs in a couple accessories to help you control and modify the light from the flashes in a way that is well-suited for fashion and portraiture photography. This includes a 24 x 24" Quikbox Softbox, a telescopic handle for handheld work, a 45" convertible umbrella, an umbrella bracket with adjustable shoe, an 8' air-cushioned light stand, and a 15 lb saddle sandbag. - 2 x Nikon SB-5000 AF Speedlight Nikon has reimagined both on- and off-camera lighting with the SB-5000 AF Speedlight, which brings revolutionary radio control to the Creative Lighting System with Advanced Wireless Lighting and comes equipped with a world's first shoe-mounted flash cooling system that enables up to 100 consecutive full-power flashes. These features alone are enough to put it at the top of the speedlight heap, but the SB-5000 doesn't rest and provides a powerful guide number of 113' at ISO 100 and 35mm while also shrinking in overall size compared to its predecessors.
Of course, the SB-5000 AF Speedlight is fully compatible with Nikon's i-TTL automatic exposure system found in a majority of their cameras for fast, accurate operation. The radio control implemented in the SB-5000 requires a compatible DSLR using the WR-A10 Wireless Remote Adapter and WR-R10 Wireless Remote Controller in order to fully realize the power of the system. This enables the camera and flash to wirelessly control up to six groups of flashes from up to 98' away, without requiring any line of sight. Also, the SB-5000 and the radio system are fully compatible with the existing optical triggering method of older units and can even be mixed and matched for maximum versatility.
Designed for reliability as well as versatility, the innovative built-in cooling system of the SB-5000 is a first for shoe-mounted flashes. It vents heat quickly and efficiently, allowing you to fire up to 100 consecutive full power flashes without issue. It also means that the flash can be made smaller without compromising performance. This new design also ensures speedy and intuitive operation, implementing an Info button for fast access to some of your most commonly used settings.
As a standard flash the SB-5000 will not disappoint, providing a wide ranging zoom head of 24-200mm which can be extended down to 14mm with use of the built-in diffusion panel. The head will also tilt from -7 to +90° and rotate left and right 180° for complete bounce capabilities. Full sync mode support is available with slow, high-speed, 1st and 2nd curtain options.
The flash has a quick recycle time of 1.8-2.6 seconds and runs on four AA batteries. It can be powered by select external battery packs. A PC terminal can be found on the SB-5000 for further triggering options and it comes with a stand, diffusion dome, fluorescent and incandescent filters, and a soft case. - Radio control Advanced Wireless Lighting when used with a D5 or D500 DSLR equipped with WR-R10 Wireless Remote Controller and WR-A10 Wireless Remote Adapter

UPC: 018208271054 - Impact Quikbox Softbox with Shoe Mount Flash Bracket (24 x 24") The Impact Quikbox (24 x 24") is a great way to expand the capabilities of your on-camera, shoe-mount flash. The Quikbox lives up to its name by popping open and assembling in a couple of minutes. Just pop open the softbox, add the diffusers and included adapter ring and shoe adapter, mount on a lightstand and you're ready to shoot. Using a softbox with your shoe-mounted flash will help to diffuse and to evenly distribute the light output of the flash. This will help to reduce those harsh shadows which are often the result of flash photography. Also included is an internal diffuser, to minimize the possibility of hotspots. In addition, the recessed front face helps to control light spill. The included flash bracket is adjustable vertically, and features a universal shoe which is adjustable horizontally. These adjustments make this unit compatible with virtually all standard flash units (incl. Nikon SB-900 & SB-910), as well as radio receivers. In addition, for those receivers that do not feature a bottom shoe connector, the bracket shoe is removable to expose a male 1/4"-20 screw. There are also three plastic washers included in the shoe assembly, to accommodate receivers of various sizes.
- Sets up in minutes - no troublesome rods
UPC: 847628012479 - Impact QuickStik+ Telescopic Handle The Impact QuikStik+ Telescopic Handle adds flexibility and functionality to your shoe-mount flash or small strobe with light modifiers, such as Impact's Quikboxes or umbrellas. Ideal for use as a hair light, fill light or backlight, the QuikStik+ allows you to extend light sources weighing up to five pounds as high as 5.3' overhead.The QuikStik+ features an adjustable swivel handle with several unique features that promote comfort and precise placement of your light source. Using the QuickStick+ with two hands allows the hand grasping the swivel handle to act as a fulcrum on which the telescopic section pivots, in order to adjust the height. Since the handle can be moved along the length of the pole section, you're able to adjust the center of gravity for ideal balance. What sounds technical is really fast, simple, and intuitive, with the bottom line being overall comfort. You can make your handle adjustment in less time than it took to read this sentence.The included webbed nylon flag holder-type strap adds another level of comfort. The holder, in conjunction with the swivel handle, allows you to shift nearly all of the weight to your hip for one-hand operation over an extended period of time, leaving your other hand free for multi-tasking.

UPC: 847628000636 - Impact Convertible Umbrella - White Satin with Removable Black Backing - 45" This is an Impact 45" white satin umbrella with removable black backing. Umbrellas soften, broaden, and diminish the light output of any flash light source. Umbrellas with a white interior will soften and weaken light more than an umbrella with a silver lining. A white umbrella without a black backing may also be used as a makeshift softbox, although the use of the light will not be as efficient as with a softbox. Choosing umbrella size is determined by the size of the subject, and the strength of the light supply being used. Choosing an umbrella surface is as subjective as choosing a paint and brush. This size is perfect for a 1 - 2 person half-length portrait, or a 3x4 ft product setup.
- Backing may be removed half way, providing a unique combination of light bounced from different surfaces.
