looking for highspeed sync on a speedlight

Alexander Dingley · Jul 21, 2016

I'm looking for a Nikon compatibly speedlight plus a radio triggering solution that will work with highspeed sync and be relatively budget orientated (Im ok with spending more if its justified)

I bought a SB800 for around 100 dollars, and I can use the pop up flash to trigger, the light falloff while using high speed sync is very strong though.

You might look at the Streaklight 360 from Adorama. It will do HSS and the radio trigger for that is very inexpensive. (Note: I did have issues with the Canon trigger for this. So I purchased the Phototix Odin radio triggers to fire my lights)

Yongnuo.
YN568EX speedlights and the YN622n triggers work great.
used them for years with no issues. both support HSS.

simply curious why you need HHS?

The YN622TX plus a YN622n can make almost any flash/strobe do quasi-HHS.

The yongnuo yn-685 has radio triggering built into it. Uses the yn-622n trigger system which supports hss.

I need the high speed sync for the type of headshot's I want to do, I know I could use a ND filter but I would prefer to have a HSS capable system if I ever have the need for it. Also I would prefer to be able to trigger easily with a radio signal.
