The Nikon R1 Wireless Close-Up System (a.k.a. Macro Kit B) is a complete flash solution for cameras that feature both the Commander mode and include a built-in flash. The kit is fully compatible with the Nikon Creative Lighting System and Advanced Wireless Lighting system when used with compatible cameras and/or flashes.

The kit's main components consist of the SX-1 Attachment Ring that attaches to the lens filter threads via an adapter ring (included), and two SB-R200 wireless macro flash heads. The SX-1 Attachment Ring can accept up to eight SB-R200s and can be attached to a tripod for remote lighting.

The R1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight Flash System has a Guide No. 66' at 24mm, with both heads.

This solution enables excellent close-up lighting control with exceptional flexibility and innovative options.

Q: 4. Will this work with the D7200?

A: I recently purchased the Nikon R1 unit for my Nikon d7200 and it works perfectly. I first watched several online videos before trying to set it up on my camera. That was extremely helpful. I understood how to set up everything in the menu. Putting it all together was a little bit of a challenge but once I got it up and working I am very please with it so far.

Q: 5. Is this flash system compatible with the Nikon D7500 and a Sigma Macro 105mm lens.And do I need exclusive to have a SU-800 Commander Unit?

A: There should not be any problems working with the above items. The Nikon D7500, as previous versions D7200, has a built in wireless flash commander option,and therefore it will commands the flash without the SU-800 unit. The flash system kit includes multiple adapters in many sizes, so no problem should be to attach the flash to Sigma 105mm lens. One issue you need to be aware of is the oddly batteries the R1C1 uses

Q: 6. will this flash work with the nikon d500 and sb5000?

A: Yes. Best performance with micro nikor 105mm VR

Q: 7. Is this ring flash compatible with Nikon D810? Will I need an adapter to use it with an 85mm or 105mm Nikkor micro lens? Thank you.

A: I have the R1C! which includes the SU800 wireless trigger which I use to remote control other flash units. The kit you reference should have rings which attach to 105 and 85 mm lenses....my system works with the D810. Without the SU800 you have to trigger the SB200s from your camera flash. Hope this helps.

Q: 8. is this flash compatible with Nikon d5600?

A: Yes, this is compatible with the Nikon D5600. I will post a link to the Nikon compatibility chart for the Nikon 4804 R1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight System. https://bit.ly/2jnOaCV

Q: 9. Is there any way to use this flash on a 55MM or 58MM macro lens.? Thank you!!

A: The SX-1 adapter ring threads directly to a lens using the 52 mm filter adapter threads. The 55MM macro lens should work just fine. The 58MM has a 72 MM filter, so that won't work directly. Nikon claims there are adapters for all lenses available.

Q: 10. Will this flash work with a Nikon D5300?

A: While the Nikon R1 system will work with the Nikon D5300 DSLR camera, it requires a flash or transmitter connected to the hot shoe of the camera compatible with Nikon's i-TTL CLS system to trigger the R1 system. Unfortunately, the built-in flash in the Nikon D5300 DSLR camera does not have a Commander mode built into the flash. As such, you will either have to purchase a flash that can be used as a commander flash in the camera's hot shoe, you may purchase the Nikon SU-800 as a wireless commander, or you may purchase the Nikon R1C1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight System, B&H # NIR1C1SS, which would come with the SU-800 for use on the Nikon D5300 DSLR camera.
