About this product

Product Information

The Nikon SB-900 Speedlight is a portable light source that can be used as a standalone flash or as part of a larger lighting system. It employs Nikon’s i-TTL flash control, enabling you to utilize precise flash exposures even in situations where the lighting is a challenge. When used with other lights, the SB-900 serves as a commander, controlling an unlimited number of compatible Speedlights in up to three remote groups. Wireless control allows you to employ the SB-900 as a remote light source for brighter, more professional shots. As a successor to the SB-800, the Nikon SB-900 Speedlight is larger than previous flashes, such as the SB-700. It was designed with practical functionality in mind, and photographers will notice a difference in the quality of their photos, especially when pairing this shoe mount flash with compatible Nikon digital SLR (DSLR) cameras, like the D700. 180-degree left or right head swivel allow for more versatility, and a wider auto power zoom range of 12 to 200 millimeters in the DX format delivers professional-looking photographs regardless of the situation. The Nikon SB-900 Speedlight is simple to control and comes with streamlined menus for ease of use. A rotary dial lets you set functions more quickly, and a master and remote control switch makes wireless operation a snap. To power the flash on, simply switch on the rotary dial. When new features are available, simply download the updated firmware onto a memory card and upload it once the flash has been mounted onto a Nikon DSLR camera. This ensures that you’ll always have the latest advances available for your Speedlight, keeping it up to date with technological advancements. The included manual has all of the information you need to use the controls and keep your SB-900 updated. Technical specifications of the Nikon SB-900 Speedlight include a guide number of 111.5 feet at ISO 100 and 157.5 feet at ISO 200; lens coverage of up to 200mm; and tilt range from -7 degrees up to 90 degrees, with the ability to rotate up to 180 degrees left and right. The flash comes with three light distribution pattern modes that help optimize light quality, and overheat protection for the flash tube helps protect the Speedlight during sustained high-speed bursts. The Flash Value (FV) lock feature lets you lock in flash output on your chosen subject, regardless of aperture or zoom position. The minimum recycling time for batteries range from 2.3 seconds with Ni-MH batteries to 4.5 seconds with lithium batteries, though the flash can also accept the Nikon SD-9 battery pack. Several accessories are available for the Nikon SB-900 Speedlight, including a Speedlight stand and a SJ-900 color filter set. Even without accessories, the Nikon SB-900 Speedlight is a versatile i-TTL flash that provides the lighting you need to take quality photos. Its commander mode allows it to work within a system, though it works just as well as a standalone wireless flash.

    Great flash and great battery pack, if the price is right.

    I have previously written a review for the SB-900 flash. I have several using them for location work with studio modifiers, often using two or three together. I use PocketWizard TT5's to control the flashes remotely. My tendency is to run my speed lights at 1/2 power or less. This gives very short recycle times, extends the life of flash tubes, and reduces melting/fading of gels. When I need full power the recycle time drops to about 3 seconds with Eneloop NiMh batteries. Adding the SD-9 with 8 Eneloops drops the time to about 1 second. Further the concern about an overheat shutdown of the flash is substantially reduced. I have never experienced such a shutdown. The SB-900 has 3 internal heat sensors. All of them are close to the internal battery compartment. Adding the SD-9 removes the ...

    Thermal shutdown - fixed?,

    I have an SB900 and agree with all the positive comments posted in other reviews, however I want to challenge those who are posting stories about thermal shutdown to supply some additional information about what situations really cause the flash to shutdown. I've been using my SB900 for several months now, and I've never experienced a problem with the unit shutting down, so I thought I'd try a simple test. I installed a set of brand new lithium ion batteries in my SB900, set it to full power manual mode, and hit the flash button manually as soon as the ready light lit - that's about one full-power shot every 1 or 2 seconds. I did this until the batteries were drained (that is, until it got to be about 10 seconds between flashes - that's a few hundred ...

    Robust, Powerful, and Reliable Speed Light

    August 2015. The SB-900 has been out for quite a few years now and has been supplanted by the SB-910. I have found no need to upgrade to the SB-910 and find the SB-900s can be found at reasonable prices in the used market. Plus as I have several, it is advantageous to have all the same model although the SB-910 operation is nearly the same. My uses include applications with multiple flashes often in large modifiers. I have need for portable flashes with good power and on occasion extended session capability. The SB-900 is very powerful as speed lights go. The ability to accept an external battery pack like the Nikon SD-9 or the Pixel TD-382 (same function as the Nikon at 1/4 the cost) extends usefulness. I have read other reviews that complain about the SB-900 overheating and shutting ...

    Great Flash Unit

    Great flash! The SB 910 has plenty of power/light output, with fast recycle times. I use this mainly for indoor architecture type work where there is usually very little light. It works flawlessly with Nikon’s TTL Metering system resulting it accurate exposures even if I mess up the camera settings. I highly recommend it!

    The best flash out there for Nikon but pricey.

    The SB900 is a great flash, I own 4 of them. It comes with a nice soft case and a set of colored gels. It is compatible with Nikon's CLS system (creative lighting system). It is large compared with the SB600 (I own one of those) but the menus are much better to navigate. It also features a "thermal cutoff" which shuts it down to prevent overheating. There is much over hype about this. What actually happens is during rapid full power flashes the batteries get hot so it shuts down to prevent overheating. This feature can be shut off though I don't recommend that and leave mine on all the time and have never had it kick in. Heck the 900 is Nikon's flagship / top of the line speedlight so of course its a great product. If you just need a strobe for off ...
