[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 314821, member: 24285"] I discovered the same thing with my D5100. For the price of the SU-800 you can add another flash and have two flashes (two are better than one for sure - lots of creative lighting possiblities). The SB-700 will become the master on your camera to many other flashes. I went with a Metz but there are many choices. Just do a little research and make sure your second flash will work as a slave using Nikons CLS (creative lighting system) some like the Metz I bought will also work as master and slave. OR I have not tried it but lots of people use the Chinese Yongnuo system. Costs less than $100. They now have a master commander. Theirs is a radio system and has advantages over the Nikon built in CLS which requires line of sight and has challenges used outside in sunlight (yes there are times you want to fire your flash outside in the bright sunlight). Google YN-622N-TX and read the reviews. Less than $50 plus a receiver for each flash (YN622) at about $40 each. Their are bundle deals. I'm looking to get one but for now because I have two flashes that use the Nikon CLS system I'm good. [/QUOTE]
