I've used all the Nikon flashes for many years and have found this one to be the most consistent and reliable flash Nikon have made. I've recently tried a few other cheaper brands but always return to the Nikon ones. Save yourself lots of money and frustration and get the SB5000. if you have a D500 then you can get the adapters to use it wireless which takes it in to a whole new level.

The Nikon SB-5000 is a full-featured flash with a radio remote slave — a first for Nikon. This lets us set up and shoot these in remote or multi-flash setups with less problems than Nikon's previous optically controlled flashes which needed somewhat of a line-of-site between them for reliable operation. New ● Radio controlled; no more line-of-sight limitations of Nikon's previous i-TTL system. ● Cooling system allows 100 full-power shots before melting down. Good ● Also compatible with other optically-controlled i-TTL flashes. ● 24 ~ 200mm zoom with 14mm panel. ● Built-in catchlight card. ● Infra-red AF illuminator. Bad ● Much more expensive than any other Nikon flash.

Superb flash gun. Expensive but it is Nikon's top flashgun, Doesn't overheat. Very powerful. Flexible head, locking hot shoe. Takes 4 AA batteries. I use Eneloop cells, bar far the best. Recycles very quickly. Auto zoom flash head.
