Just saw your new forum Alyn and I thought I'd ask you this question by posting it here. I have a Nikon SB800 and want to be able to connect it to my flash. I heard there's a way to do it, but I don't have a clue. 

 

Thanks,

Derek

Derek,

That's a good question, you would think Nikon or even Canon would integrate some sort of radio transmitter into their Speedlights aside from the proprietary TTL wireless system they have. But what you're going to need is a PC5N cord to attach from the PW to the SB800. See my photo for an illustration of the two units connected. You can also find the cable at any online retailer like Amazon or Adorama.
