Umm, if you're wanting to use CLS you'll need a Nikon flashgun - either an SB600,700,800 or 900 and the only triggers/receivers that are compatible with CLS are either Pocket Wizard Flex/Mini or Radio Poppers. Rf602s most certainly don't work with CLS....

I have two SB900's with a D700, I use http://www.warehouseexpress.com/buy-seculine-twinlink-t2d-transmitter-and-receiver-kit/p1033478 I use the receiver with one of the sb900's as the master and the other as a slave. Shooting manual. Radio trigger kit works a treat, I've had no problems so far.

That's not CLS though, or can you adjust the power output of the flashes from either the trigger or the camera when using them?

Why would anyone pay £122 for these, or am I missing something?

But not all Nikon DSLRs have commander mode.

Two relevant reads:

• Nikon info
• Article

... and yes, I found the link to the Nikon info in the article!

Nikons Pop up flash triggering is great staff but is limited by distance and you need to have clear way between popup flash and flash unit sensor, another words ''it's not working if you have flash units hidden behind objects, walls etc...''

The title of the thread is Nikon cls though, so the assumption is that the op has one of the cameras that does......

Although from reading their second post I'm now not sure exactly what it is they're asking.....

I beg to differ ... so I offer this quote from the Nikon info:

CLS
Creative Lighting System – Nikon’s Speedlight system.​

So any DSLR with a SB-800, SB-900 or SU-800 is covered - and that includes Nikon DSLRs without Commander mode (as the SB-800, SB-900 & SU-800 can do it for them).

True, you can have CLS with any Nikon body if you use the SB800/900/SU-800, my assumption though was, as mentioned in your quote, that the op had a camera that had the Commander capability, as no mention was made of using the SB900 (or any of the other units you highlighted) as the trigger....
