[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 649193, member: 13090"] In all honesty, that I don't know because I don't use Nikon's CLS for off-camera flash, I use the Yongnuo wireless system instead. To go wireless with the 568ex flashes, you'll need a wireless trigger attached to each flash unit; the 685 flash units don't need those because the trigger is built-in to the flash. [I]Tres chic, non?[/I] With either of those flashes, though, you will need one Yongnuo 622n TX, this is the transmitter that controls the flash, or multiple flashes, from the camera body. So... If I were you, I'd add ask Santa for two Yongnuo 685 flashes and one 622n TX wireless transmitter. This would give you a two-flash, wireless set-up with no need to use Nikon's (in my opinion) fussy and awkward CLS system, you'll be using Yongnuo's wireless system instead. Oh, and you might want to add several Eneloop AA batteries and charger to that list... You''re going to want those, believe me. Then you'll need a pair of good light stands, a couple umbrellas, maybe a backdrop, a gel kit, a bag for all this gear... Amazon sells various [URL="https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=622n+wireless+trigger"][B]Yongnuo Wireless Kits[/B][/URL] that include the transmitter and/or trigger(s) you'll need should you decide to go with the wireless option.
