Nikon SB-R200 Reviews
Poor design.
By William
Rated 2 out of 5
Date: 2026-08-21
Dead on arrival. Flash unit would not power on and I didn't get a single flash out of it. It is currently sitting in the Nikon Service Center awaiting parts to arrive to repair it under the warranty - which cost me an additional $17 out of pocket to ship it back to them for the repair. ( It was more than two days after I received it before I tested it - so I couldn't return it to B&H. ~ My fault...) The battery door is a poor design which I learned is a common problem. They are ridiculously hard to get open and closed and are known for the electrical contact(s) on the door to get damaged in the process. In my case the battery contact on the door is just fine, but the internal contact inside the unit is apparently the problem. Fortunately the other flash units that came in my R1C1 kit do power on and operate normally but they have the same problem with the battery doors being tough to open and close.
Excellent remote for macro

This is my second SB-R200. Use for macro. Small, reliable, lots of flashes per battery. Less output than larger speed-light, but can do macro at ISO 200, f/29 with enough light.

I know the flash is not functionable in a hot show but can it fit into a "hot show" and be controlled remotely with my D800?
The foot on the Nikon SB-R200 Wireless Remote Speedlight is curved so it can only be used in this ring: https://bhpho.to/3TJR04b plus a Nikon SY-1 adapter that matches your lens filter size. It will fire remotely using the built in flash on the D800 is a master.
