[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 816727, member: 48483"] Two options. Both require buying more stuff. SB-600 when it was introduced 18 or so years ago could be controlled remotely via the Nikon CLS which uses encoded flashes from a master flash to control a remote. In those days most DSLRs had a pop-up flash that could be the master. Or the even more expensive SB-800 could be configured to be a master or remote. The 600 could only act as a remote. There is no pop-up on Z series (except a Z50), so it would take buying a SB-800 or later series equivalent to put in the hot shoe. Honestly I have never read through the menu of flash options of my Z5 to know if CLS is still supported by an external speed light. I don't have the right speedlight to do that. Better way is buying a radio trigger. It is a better way normally since there is no preflashing and visible line of sight needed to operate. Should be cheaper also. I don't own any of these either so I cannot guide you beyond this. But my SB-600 works fine as a remote with my DSLR D750 as it has the pop-up. [/QUOTE]
