Nikon SB-5000 AF Speedlight

Introducing Nikon's new flagship Speed light, a flash designed to empower the most seasoned professionals and passionate enthusiasts. The SB-5000 AF Speed light takes Nikon's acclaimed Creative Lighting System with Advanced Wireless Lighting to the next level with both traditional optical wireless control and powerful new radio control. Place up to six groups of remote flashes out of view, behind obstacles—even in other rooms—up to 98 feet away. Whether building a new lighting system or integrating with your existing system, the SB-5000 AF Speed light opens exciting new lighting possibilities.

d

Light without limits

The SB-5000 AF Speedlight introduces powerful radio control Advanced Wireless Lighting (AWL) communication to Nikon's innovative Creative Lighting System for exciting lighting possibilities. When used with a compatible series, with the optional WR-A10 (Wireless Remote Adapter) when attached to D5 and WR-R10 Wireless Remote Controller (transceiver) (requires firmware version 3.0 or later), you can control up to 6 groups (A/B/C/D/E/F) of SB-5000 AF Speed light behind obstacles, around corners, in bright sunlight—even in different rooms—up to 98 feet away. The SB-5000 AF Speed light also integrates seamlessly with Nikon's optical wireless Speed lights and cameras.

d

Nonstop performance

For studio, wedding, event and action photographers, continuous shooting is the name of the game. The SB-5000 AF Speedlight can handle more than 100 consecutive firings at full output without overheating, thanks to an innovative built-in cooling system and a brilliant heat-shedding design. For TTL shooters, this means a new level of lighting control while capturing decisive moments. Great shots don't wait for a flash to be ready, and neither should you.

Reimagined design

Designed for photographers who rely on portable lighting, the SB-5000 AF Speed light is smaller and easier to use. It has a smaller footprint and provides streamlined access to frequently used functions such as Flash Mode, Zoom Head Position and Flash Compensation Value. Like a DSLR camera, the SB-5000 AF Speed light has an “Info” button for quick access to your favorite settings. For more fluid operation when using radio control, you can adjust settings right from a compatible camera's menu.

    Upgraded from a third-party speedlight that wasn't "fast" enough for what I needed.
    I am pretty much a novice when it comes to OCF, but this is intuitive enough, that with
    the help of few on-line searches/tutorials, I have been able to do everything (with quite
    a few sample shots) that I had hoped for.
    The true test comes next month when I give it a full workout at a convention in New Orleans.
    I will update this review following that event.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The best Speedlight currently available for Nikon SLRs
    Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    This flash is ideal for any high end DSLR (I own the D850) that is a full frame DSLR (D750, D800, etc). It has some great light output and I can even use this with my 70-200mm lens and get enough light in a low light room. I was pleased to learn this works with most of my lenses. I tend to use my workhorse 28-70mm and the 70-200mm 2.8f lenses for a variety of indoor settings. I also use this for flash fill in the daylight/afternoon hours and find it adapts really well. A cautionary note: Make sure you set the MODE to TTL and FP and turn off BL(back lit) unless of course there is actual back lighting. I made this mistake and actually still was able to salvage all the photos I took that were slightly under exposed.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great flash but with some flaws that are inexcusable considering the high price.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Update: Flash "paid for itself" at grandson's birthday party/Disneyland trip - no battery packs to lug around, didn't overheat as advertised after multiple exposures, great fill-flash outdoors, didn't miss a "moment!" l used 8-Pack iMah HR6 AA Rechargeable Batteries 2400mAh.

    Bottom line: Fantastic photos when used alone (10-stars). Cooling system works! I haven't tried the wireless features yet, but my primary reason for the purchase was the ability to take 100 consecutive photos before the flash catches on fire (almost happened with my SB-900). And the reason for taking so many photos at once is not to lose any precious moments of a rapidly moving 2-year-old grandchild (think Usain Bolt in diapers), while someone else takes videos.
    Reasons for 4-stars: These are not major issues that should dissuade you from purchasing the SB-5000, but this is an expensive piece of equipment! 1. Illumination of the LCD screen is insufficient, and all Nikon support could tell me was that the illumination is less than that of an SB-800! 2. Menu system is primitive, particularly compared with other manufacturers' strobes (e.g. Nissin, Canon) and those of other current digital electronic devices in general. 3. Low battery icon doesn't come on soon enough to change batteries when trying to capture important shots at an event, for example, (think bride/groom kiss!). The manual and Nikon tech support were not helpful. 4. Heavy (but compact size is nice).

    Don't hestitate to buy this Speedlight! I also own the SB-900, which is great flash but suffers if you need very fast recyle times at events or family Christmas celebrations :-) The SB-900 shut down feature only happened once, but it was enough to get my attention. Event photography is my hobby, and I am currently editing my photos from a recent event. I have been noticing how all the pictures have a consistent flash exposure. I usually take rapid photos of group shots to make sure no one has been caught blinking or with an awkward smile. This flash delivers!! It has been well worth the investment and is of classic Nikon build quality. I look forward to using it as a Master flash as I start learning how to use multiple flashes. BTW - the wireless feature was not important to me - I do not own the D500 or D5 - I just needed a highly reliable flash to to great pictures of friends and events. Well done Nikon!

    Awesome speedlight, only complaint is you have to use single focus point group to get all the auto focus lights to illuminate on speedlight. Needs a firmware update. I mostly use to bounce light off walls not for a direct flash on subjects. Other than that problem works fantastic and doesn't overheat. Still don't overuse it, as such you can still damage the capacitors with over 100 consecutive shots.
