So hot that my Nikon SB-900 overheated and shut itself down. Has anyone else ever experienced this?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The flash's built in thermal protector seems to err on the side of caution, and shuts it down.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Your post could have read "Oh @#$# I just burned up a $500 SB-900!!"  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Otherwise it shuts off in the middle of every shoot I've been on on. Other than that...pretty A-OK  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Like most I had the 900 overheat soon after I started using it. I turned off the thermal warning and also started using the SD-9. Haven't ran into the issue sense. Also get faster recycle time with the battery pack.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It's been a real workhorse. I looked at the 900 and it's just enormous. And now I learn of the overheating problem. Stick with the 800, problem solved before it starts.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
