So I'm getting a SB-800. Mostly to keep my photography going over the winter while I can't do much outside. I will be using it mostly for learning about portrait shots and product shots. I just want to order all the accessories at the same time as I order the SB-800 (I will be ordering from bhphoto)
I have spare tripod which I want to use as as a stand for the flash. Bhphoto sells a bracket to adapt to tripod.
I also want to get a softbox, but I only see one thats included in a kit that I don't need.
Now on to triggering:
So I would prefer not to use a hot shoe to pc cord. I want remote triggering. This is something I'm not %100 on understanding. I read that the on-body flash can be used to trigger the speedlight. Does it pre-sync the timing with the on-body flash or do both have to fire at the same time? (I don't want to see the light from the on-body flash in the shot)
I have a d70s (plan on getting a d300 in the spring). A friend told me that a d200 has a infrared transmitter to trigger the flash but not the d70s. Is this true? Can I get a hot shoe mounted infrared transmitter?
What about wireless triggers? I would need to get 2, correct? And how much is that?
Thanks for any help.
