I have all Nikon; a D600, a SB 900 and 2 SB 800's. I want the D600 to fire the 3 speed lights so I will need a total of 4 Pocket Wizards, right?

You'll want 4 Pocket Wizards if you want them all on radio trigger. The SB800 has a built in optical slave, so you could get by with a Pocket Wizard on your camera, a Pocket Wizard on your SB900, and use the 800s in slave mode.

You could set two of the speed lights to slave and they should fire on the flash of the master which would be connected to a pocket wizard. A pocket wizard connected to each light will also work well.

It depends on too many factors such as: What is the brand/model of your speedlite? How many batteries does it take? How often do you shoot with flash? Do you fire full-power blast with each flash? etc. So the answer could be anywhere between 200 to 2000 flashes. By the way, instead of using those low-capacity (1400mAh) batteries, get some decent batteries with 2000mAh of higher for your flash.

you won't need a cord to hook up to your camera as that will mount directly to your hot shoe, as for the flash, the pocket wizard comes with a couple generic cords to hook up to your flash (whether that be a professional strobe or basic speedlites) but to answer your question, you will need some kind of cord to connect the pocket wizard to your flash. with proper cord configurations you can actually use a pocket wizard to fire your camera remotely in a chain reaction to then fire a flash!! like some kind of pocketwizardception O.o

It works with the D90 but whether it's the right choice is up to you. If you want the most light possible in dark situations, it could be! If you just need a speed light to bounce light off the ceiling for home photos, you would do well with an SB-600 or SB-700.

Yes the SB-400 will work on the Nikon D-90. If you have any other questions on the SB-400 versus other flashes (SB-600 or 800 etc..) feel free to message me back.

No, sorry... their on a different frequency. You can use it if you manually fire the strobes... it has a built in delay mode if you want to do that... but it will only control Pocket Wizard triggers.

As jealous as I am about your Leica....I don't think so...probably not.as it is a Nikon Product enabling you to use the Nikon TTL with off camera flash.. - I use it on a brackett for event shoots but use pocket wizards for off camera flash triggers loosing Nikon lighting smarts) I use it with a Nikon D4....My guess is your going to need to use pocket wizards and learn how to use your flash manually- there are lots of YouTube videos and tutorials on Pintrest.

I don't think these will trigger strobes. If you are using a combination of speedlites and strobes you might consider using an optical trigger on the strobes which would be triggered by the speedlites, assuming line of sight. I like these Pixel units, but switched to PocketWizards for several reasons. The PocketWizards are a much more expensive alternative, but more versatile.

Buy a Nikon 300 SLR their Coolpix cameras are junk. I've used Nikons since 1968 and their SLR's are the best. I tried a Coolpix a few years ago and it took a color shift to purple and Nikon would do nothing about it. I still buy Nikon and always will but never again for a pocket camera. Try another Brand or buy a reasonable 35 SLR. That would be my advice.

From the specs of the D7000, it seems that it can use all the Nikon speedlights SB series 3xx - 9xx, however, the SB-800, a discontinued series though may be available as used/demo/etc. equipment, is more geared for Nikon flash professionals and could be intimidating to those not familiar with Nikon speedlights nor flash photography.

I am successfully using Pocket Wizards with this flash along with 2 Canon Speedlights with my 5DMII.

You need two one for the camera, one for the flash. I regularly use up to 8 on many flashes. Great bits of kit

I have SB 700 & D7000 and the system works flawlessly ! I see no reason why SB600 would not work too. Love the photoxOdin TTL I dont own a pocket wizard but i think these are better

I have two of theses flashes and i use my SB 900 to trigger then. These units have specific modes - one for Nikon and one for Cannon. You just need to make sure you are in the Nikon mode and you should be good to go.

If flashes and strobes are set to "slave" you need only one transmtter and receiver for one flash/ strobe to fire off the others. If you want to group you need more fir each grouped unit.

The SB800 holds enough power for 3 auto TTL flashes. However final recycling can be 3 seconds once it has used up stored energy after 3 shots. Add the 5th battery with extended compartment or hook up to external power source and fires and recycles faster. Find specifications on Nikon site, or google the specifications of this flash. If you are taking photos at higher iso like 1200 or 1600 iso, it will not use as much flash power.

They sell one or as a set of two pocket wizards. You need two. One for the camera to send the signal and a second one to received and set off the flash.
