Close-Up Lighting Kit
The Nikon R1C1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight Kit provides a complete macro illumination system built around two SB-R200 remote speedlights and an SU-800 wireless commander. It is designed for photographers using Nikon i-TTL SLRs that lack a built-in flash, such as the D2X, D2HS, D2H and F6 models. The kit enables precise, wireless control over close-up lighting ratios and compensation directly from the commander unit.
Macro Specialists vs General Flash Users
This kit suits macro and close-up specialists who need flexible, off-camera lighting that can be tilted up to 60 degrees to clear short working distances. The SU-800 commander supports up to three remote groups for creative directional control. Photographers requiring standard on-camera bounce flash or high-power illumination for distant subjects should look at conventional speedlight systems instead.
Dual SB-R200 Wireless Remotes
The defining specification is the inclusion of two SB-R200 wireless remote speedlights paired with the SU-800 commander. This combination delivers i-TTL wireless control with group and channel management for close-up work. The ring-mounted configuration allows up to eight SB-R200 units off-camera or four on-camera, while SB-800 and SB-600 units can be added for expanded setups.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the SB-R200 Speedlights on my lens and what step is often missed?
Attach the SX-1 Master Attachment Ring to the lens filter thread then slide each SB-R200 into the ring; the step often missed is locking the Speedlight’s foot clamp so it cannot rotate during shooting.
What parts of this kit will need replacement after extended use?
The SB-R200 flash tubes and the SU-800 commander’s LCD backlight are the components most likely to require replacement after heavy use.
What thermal limit appears first when firing the SB-R200 units continuously at full power?
The SB-R200’s over-temperature protection activates after repeated full-power bursts, forcing a cool-down period before further flashes can fire.
