Built in flash filter (Nikon)

[AndySwinden]

I have used the built in flash on my D200 in 'commander' mode to control an SB-800.

I vaguely remember reading about some kind of ‘clip on filter’ that you could get to block all visible light from the built in flash, but still have it sending the IR signal to the SB-800.

Does anyone know what Im talking about ?? What are they called and where can I get one ??


Thanks

A piece of IR film taped over the flash will also do the trick.
