The easy-to-use Nikon SB-500 is designed for digital SLR cameras and some selected COOLPIX models. It features powerful LED lighting, which is great for recording movies. The advantage of this model is its low weight and compact dimensions combined with easy directional control of lighting.
The flash head can be tilted up to 90° upwards and horizontally rotated at an angle of 180°. This makes it easy to adapt your flash light to your requirements. In addition, the flash can be used as a Master flash and combined with multiple flash units located away from the camera, and in combination with cameras that have a built-in flash with a control mode. Power is provided by AA batteries.
