is this the cheapest system that does TTL for nikon?

I don't know if its the cheapest or not but it is pretty good. I have used it 3-4 times never had a problem.

most likely. Also consider Yongnuo flashes using optical commander mode if your camera supports it. D90 works great with 565EX but D70 did not. The D70 triggered the 560EX just fine until the flash no longer would work in remote mode. Say "least expensive" since "cheap" is a derogatory word used by those who know the price of everything and the value of nothing :) The 565EX is an awesome flash FYI

Yes they work with the d800. However they are basic in operation as there is no support for TTL.

The answer you want depends on the camera. With some it works fine, with some, there is no TTL functioning. Find info on the camera you intend to use and check specifically on that camera. I use mine for a remote flash triggered by an inexpensive radio remote. I do not use it on my D7000 DSLR. I do not know which film cameras are compatible besides earlier Nikon models.

If you want to trigger it with TTL, yes. There are pocket wizards that do the same thing and they are much more expensive! You can trigger with manual mode on these as well.

I have a D300s, but these are manual syncs. There is no reason why they should not work. You will not have access to TTL though.

If you order the NIKON version, yes. Each TTL (Through The Lens) hotshoe is designed FOR that camera, so the flash has to be the right version to get the fully automatic interaction.

Yes, works through the hotshoe connection. It works perfectly with my Canon 430/580's, 560'sand Nikon SB's, Neewer and Yougono via hotshoe, and my Studio strobes when connected via sync cable. You can fire different strobes set to different channels, or all of them on one channel. but no TTL data. - lyarks.com

I would pay the extra and get a genuine Nikon remote at Best Buy...not that much more...I actually use my timer on my camera more than the remote

I tried it with my D5100 and couldn't TTL... maybe did the wrong settings !

I do not have a D3200. According to several 'photo' websites, the SB400 will work with the TTL metering of the 3200. i.e: "The compact and lightweight SB-400 delivers intelligent through-the-lens (i-TTL) flash control and bounce flash capability for a more natural lighting effect without strong shadows."

No TTL, that is correct. But I put an Altura flash (about $40) on this shoe, put that combination on my 5N, and it works beautifully in Manual on-camera function. I have not tried it yet as a slave unit on a tripod.

Yes, but there is no TTL. Either use the built-in camera meter or a light meter, like a Sekonic. Or, as the ultimate fallback plan, just adjust the power output until the exposure is correct.

If you select the canon version it will work. I have used these with several canon DSLRs with TTL. They've worked flawlessly for me.

I didn't try it on a Nikon. I bought it for my Canon 6D and I am thinking that with all the connections specifically for Canon TTL flash, that it would be doubtful that it would work on a Nikon - at least not with all the sophisticated functions.

it's pretty obvious the ttl wont work with the Canon if the flash is for a nikon but you can still use the manual function on both the camera and the flash. The flash can beset to 1/8 1/4 1/2 3/4 and 1-1 Each setting is for distance of flash. 1/8 is for about 1-2 feet away 1/4 is for 3-6 feet and so on. Experiment with these settings until you find the optimal setting for your situation. for nightlife set the flash for 1/3rd and set the camera to have the lens open as small as possible ad a flash suppresser to the flash. Set the iso at 100-400 and the camera at 1 second exposure or just below and have fun! it's pretty obvious the ttl wont work with the Canon if the flash is for a nikon but you can still use the manual function on both the camera and the flash.

As long as your Nikon flash has a standard hot shoe it should work but do not expect that the TTL will work. It will work as a manual flash this means that your sony camera will not recognize the Nikon flash but if the flash is on, it will trigger the flash unit. So you will have to use it in manual. I use mine to fire my quantum flashes and to connect my pocket wizard receiver.

This flash is a fully manual flash, it does not support TTL. You might want to look at the "YongNuo YN-468 II E-TTL" flash for Canon. The YN-468II is only about $10 more than this one and supports E-TTL. Note that it does not support High Speed Synch (HSS), which you might not need anyway.
