@Dombowerphoto I just checked the manual, you are right. They call them the Ready-Lights. Will also indicate if there was an error in communicating, overheat, etc.
Good Video gained a few tidbits that I didn't know about the SB900.
I really love the way how you helped me to decide which flash speedlight I will buy, thank you!
10 years later, I'm ready to buy it
Dom, the quality of your videos has improved so much since this video! The facts were there but now the production quality is there too, amazing how much difference it makes :D
Those AF assist lights work at a pretty impressive distance, they've locked focus for me in dark venues with lots of distracting lights and lasers. The pattern is damn near invisible at 20+ feet.
I need to buy two more SB-900s. I depend on them heavily and mine overheat all the time as I tend to use it often at weddings or at car shows in the SUMMER HEAT. I've noticed that my SB-900 overheats quicker in the summer than in the winter. In the winter I can blast away with the SB-900 and it'll go longer ways before eventually overheating.
This was your best video yet id say.
the zoom is actually 17-200, or 14 with diffuser :D but anyway, you're the reason I got sb900 a year ago and not regret it a bit, i got a second one and i'm thinking about a third one. This is just an awesome product and CLS is just a god send.
You do a great job educating and entertaining at the same time! I love your work!
@gilegraam correct on the 17-200 but i think that is in a fx mode, when mounted to a dx camera it says 10mm (which is 15mm in fx mode anyway.
As far as the red lights which are used for focus/flash assist, I *think* the camera's focus point has to be set to the center spot; if not, the assist lights do not come on for the flash.
Double post, but;
1) Why do you cover the cameras name and model? Everybody knows that the SB-900 is a Nikon and you even say so. And the SB-900 only(?) goes with a nikon?
2) Why a canon strap on the Nikon?
I really want an sb-900, I dont have a flash and dont have near enough money (studying) but I will save until I can afford one! :D
And again, great video as always! Thanks!
The best explanation/tutorial so far. Really appreaciate it
@PiercedCub32 I have been using a couple but i really dont get them very well, i actually dont like them and i dont want to make a really biased video. i need to learn them more and get better with the canon versions before i can explain and review them
Thank you Perfect just what I needed to know .
You said everything you need to know. What did you tell me.... Not much. I want to know how to move the settings. And what each one does. Sorry I was felt like I was let down here.
ATG Nissin MG8K and Nissin MG8000 are the new kids around and have surpassed Canon 600EX-RT and Nikon SB-910. Shooters are buying these guys.
550/580/600/800/900/910 all have overheating & shutdown problems.
How to remotely set up Nikon sb-900 in Nikon D780. Thank you.
@rocco97 kinda already done for the blog check it out
@SwoosS i have added the link in the description today for you
thanks for the enjoyable lesson
Excellent video. Thanks
if i understood properly, you said that for FP mode the flash fires at a lower power for a much shorter time. I have also heard that what they do is to actually fire for a longer time at a lower power so the camera can catch it. Do you still think the same as what you said in this video? It would be easy to check it I guess, if changing the shutterspeed at that FP mode modifies the amount of flash in the photo you're right :) I would check it but I have no FLASH units :(
Great Vids btw! Thanks!!
vastly better in terms of ease of use with a good menu and digital screen
The Canon 430ex ii is a nightmare, the manua is a must.
@tmlim526 just to let you know that it is on i think
Great video, thanks!
i read somewhere that non-rechargables will prevent overheating
Great video, thanks.
JUST WHEN I NEEDED IT!
At 12:46 you can see flashing lights. I assume they are IR lights, but what are they for??
Awesome Video!
Amazing amount of info as always! Thanks Dom! Have any plans on reviewing any flashes from the darkside? LOL Canon shooter here, and i love my camera. Though I keep thinking of getting a Nikon so I can feel cooler. hahah. ;o) thanks again!

I think you did a great job overall. I will check to see if you have other videos! That was the second time I've heard of this Speedlight getting wet, and still working okay.
I think that is Amazing! … Joe Prete
Great video .. thank you
@mony708 that is good practice
The only time mine has ever gone into overheat protection was at a wedding were I was taking party shots of the dance zoomed to 10.5mm with my 10.5 fisheye at half power(ceiling was high). Had been shooting with it ALL day and it didn't over heat until I did that.
PS Why'd you cover the Nikon Badge and Model Badge on the cam? Is it a big secret that you shoot Nikon? lol
Very helpfull. Thanks!
@aadiflesher cant get it in the uk shops yet.
can you see the battery status in the sb900? how?
Were can I get the "point snd destroy" sweatshirt?
the SB-700 is already out :)
quick question: can the su-4 be used in the commander mode? say like it sees a flash and fires itself but at the same time act as a commander and fire an sb-600, which is on remote?
how bout a review like this for the sb600?
@aadiflesher check for more videos etc on the blog
What do you think about the Nissin di866?
Also, one more thing. Was using an old bayonet mount lens on d90 with pop up flash in commander mode. No problem. The next day turned camera on with same older lens and pop up flash lifted, and nothing. Shutter will not go when pop-up is on. With pop-up down shutter WILL work. Changed over to new lens and shutter works with and without pop up on. Have remounted the old lens several times to check, batry is charged. Just cleaned all of the contacts. Any thoughts on what is wrong. Grt vids thnk u
I got 2 SB-900 flashes and they are pretty good and loving them, but the problem is it over heats whenever I do fashion photography (yes most of the stuff I learned is from you and thanks a lot), so what do you think of SB-910? I didn't read nor hear anything new about it, but I'm just hoping if they fixed the overheating problem atleast, by the way nice combination, Canon strap on Nikon :)
I have a SB600 but I think I will upgrade :)
Hi Guys! Can someone help to find a problem with my old Nikon D700. The camera is working fine without using flash. Also its ok with any code flashes without synch adapters on to the hot shoe. But when I use any flashes such as D900 or D800; the camera is not firing instantly and it takes a few seconds to fire. I tried all the setting but no use. Please advise me if this is due to wrong settings or any technical problems in the camera?
well, thats is gonna be my next flash :) Its cool :)
What camera you use?
how can it configure like studio flash... (08.01 sec) please tell how to do that...
Hi Dom, In commander or su-4 modes, for off camera flash with sb900, how can i change the flash power settings manually at the flash? Does power have to be set thru the camera?. Thank you
what it like compared the the SB 800?
I was considering a di866 , as my first flash, is it worth it? the guide number certainly recomends it, Since it's the high end flash of nissin, i think it's the equivalent of a nikons mid range sb 700, am i right?
I was thinking using the di866 II for parties in pubs, clubs etc but general use also. What do you recommend? The only thing that worries me is the 866's plastic attach wheel thing
when would u use the SU-4?
FP mode can be hard on the flash ?
Aye, where's the camera's eye cup?
Just Curious, Why do you have a canon camera strap on a Nikon camera ???
its a better / longer strap
Canon straps are wider than Nikon, ie. more comfortable.
If your giving a review why not learn the camera functions such as the basic multi area mode ,instead of the full thingy
"Point and destroy"
Nikon body with canon strap.. I smell DRTV :D
it s a NASA flash? :)))
Probably the most useless video I’ve seen. Did he show the two flashes working together? No. Did he need to set up multiple groups rather than just setting up two flashes and showing them working? Nope. Total waste of time? Yes.
Lots of talking but no substance
SB-900 is a piece of shit I bought it 2 years ago use it once on the day I bought it and it was great- last weekend needed to use it for a wedding and I was a mean photographer for the wedding flash keep going over HEATED!!! and there is no way I can fix it - now I can't even return cause I bought it 2 or 3 years ago!!!! what can I do???
fishaholic Kayak offshore sell it and buy a 3-4 yongnuo flashes with the cash. I've done a few videos on alternative flashes that are good.
Bad lighting video
