[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 168644, member: 12496"] There would seem to be no reason to do so (put one flash on the hot shoe). Just put both flashes out there now as remotes (I am assuming this Yongnuo model actually does work as a Nikon remote). The SB-700 will work as a Commander, and of course, the D7000 internal flash can work as a Commander (to operate a couple of remote TTL flashes). You do have your choice, but using the SB-700 there sort of wastes a flash. Either of these two Commanders have remote group A and B. They also have a internal flash in each of them, which is the internal group. If you do not want the internal flash (either of them that is used) to influence the exposure of your pictures, then in the Commander menu, simply set that internal group's Mode to be "- -" (which is off) - instead of mode TTL or whatever. The commander (internal flash) will still flash commands before the shutter opens, but if if its mode is "- -", it will not contribute to the lighting of the picture.
