  • you forgot that the sb900 is stronger than the sb800, at full power the sb900 is producing alot more flash than the sb800 so it will take longer ...

  • @eakiboz a lot more? really, do you know how much more?

  • PART TWO-: mAh = capacity, thats how long it will last. Volts = power Thats its "grunt".

    You need grunt for fast recycling and the batteries dont work as hard so they and the circuitry dont get hot.

  • @pedalman check my other videos and you see the rechargable ones recycling the flash a lot faster.

  • @lg123xyz yep it is on the blog and the new channel

  • @eakiboz ok thanks a lot appreciate it!

  • @lg123xyz i`ll take that back, i think they r the same power, i got mixed up with the zoom. the sb900 goes to 200mm and the 800 to 105mm

  • @eakiboz would you happen to know the output for the SB-800 and SB-900 and difference in power?

  • great videos dom...

    wondering if you can make one solely about how to set up your sb 900 and use it wirelessly with my nikon d90. Thanks!

  • thats a good point but i watched that and i did a video showing that my rechargables recycled the flash much quicker than the single use ones like in his video. kind of disproving the idea that it is about voltage and not mAH performance

  • You have probably already seen it but take a look at Lilkiwiguy parts 1-4 "SB 900 overheating problems solved"

    Seems its the 1.2v rechargables working to hard, they over heat the circuits in the flash overheat and thermal cut out kicks in. Its nothing to do with the flash head getting hot it the internal circuitry.

    Solution, use 1.5v duracell or a quantum pack when heavy shooting ....200 shots hr . they dont have to work as hard so dont get as hot.
