speedStrong HSS radio performanceexpand_more0 mentions
Once paired, the WR-R10 radio system syncs the SB-5000 at maximum shutter speed (1/250 Auto-FP), outperforming third-party controllers limited to slower sync speeds. Users describe the overall radio system as minimalistic, economical, and a pleasure to use once configured.
