Hi to all you Nikonites. I have a question. I am doing off camera flash. I have a sb-5000 and 3 - sb700s. I have a godox xpron ttl trigger and 4- xir n receivers. When i put the sb-5000 in remote and put the sb-700s in remote they do not fire. But when they are just on is this the only way they will work? And when the sb700s are in remote. Is this only for the c.l.s. system? Could someone please advise me on this. Although when nthey are in master on the sb700s they will work. But only two channels. I am also only doing just ttl. Thanks to anyone who can let me know.

I have an SB-5000 and an SB-700. I use my SB-700 with PocketWizard radios that support TTL metering like your Godox radios that support TTL. Put the switch in the ON position and use TTL mode.

The master and remote settings on the speedlights are for Nikon's C.L.S. system and use pulses of infrared light. The pop-up flash on Nikon cameras can be used as a master. It just requires going into the menus and putting it in commander mode.

I also have PocketWizard radios that are trigger only units. When using those, the flash has to be in manual mode to work.
