Yes, Seen it and it seems to me this will make you broke quicker and seeking a place to rest on the bench in the park everynight :lol:

Pre-order for the SU800 is taken! :lol:

My dream comes true with this coz I had lot of problem in shooting with SC-28 and 29 due the the coiled cord in conventional wired system make my shooting game harder.

Haha... yes, it seems that one or even two flash units isn't enough, they make you want to have three or four :lol:

It's a cool website though, I like the virual demo.

Try with 4 x SB800 in 2 and or 6 x SB 800 in 3 channels
Then you'll get the ideas of what I meant! The SU800 can control in one or two or three channels/ group of SB800s

Yes, they're very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That looks like a cool site. I'm looking for ways of accelerating the learning of the SB800, and this site looks like an interesting starter. It might just accelerate my spending though. :wink:

I know a lot of the guys that do Hummingbird photography use multiple flash setups in excess of 5 flashes :)

Didn't they used to have some pretty cool streaming tutorials of the speedlites on that site? I recall seeing some somewhere and I thought it was that site but it could have been another.
