This video demonstrates how mighty this tool can get when used by "on-the-move" photographers with Nikon SB-800 and SB-900 speedlights.
Enjoy!
FYI: The high power continuous flash burst takes place when the batteries are freshly inserted. After few flash shots, it won't happen again as the batteries are beginning to work normally.

@naignik nah, it won't overheat the sb-900 or sb-910. the overheating issue is caused by low current voltage from the batteries. adding more batteries will keep the flash pretty cool. it's no problem with all other flashes.
-
how about overheating issue for the speedlight?
-
Yes.
-
can this pack be used on older flashes like the SB-25?

Is Sd-8A compatible for Nissin Di866?
DeathStar012 6 months ago
Yes, only SD-8A, not the newer SD-9.

I just bought my SD-8a and have tried to replicate something close to what you were doing in this video.
I have copied what I think is everything you have set on this flash. M1/1, ISO100, 24mm, F5.6, Duracell Coppertops are also used.
The only difference is that I'm using a D300, instead of your D3. So therefore I can only get 8-9 fps.
However, the best that I have been able to get the flash to fire is 5 or 6 frames and the rest have no flash.
Any ideas?

This may have already been asked but I couldn't find it.
Any idea what the PC-Sync Cord is for and if it's necessary for the SB-800?
TheDukedoit 8 months ago
We used to have a discussion on this very question but had to delete them because everyone began a flame war. Some said PC sync cord is effective or has no effect on SB-800. Effective: triggers the SD-8A to recycle the SB-800 and/or send signal to the SD-8A's lamp that tell you the flash fired. Ineffective: does nothing but still recycles the SB-800. No straight answer or explanation from the user's manual, either.
