Has anyone used the Phoenix unit on a Nikon D200? If so, how did it work out?

I don't have a D200, but I used it with a Nikon D80 and it performed flawlessly. I Recommend it.

I use Phoenix smart flash with my Nikon D7000 and fixed 50mm lens for close up portraits. As long as you don't try to use it for any further then 10 to 15ft it will give you great results. It should work as well with your D200 if the camera has a hot shoe for dedicated flash. Flash kit is well worth the money.

It does works perfectly. But the fact is that the NIKON DSLR Lens became bigger and heavier than de J1 original lenses. I prefer usind the original lenses. Tks!

Works with my 283, 285 Sunpak 444d ,433d,522,544,555 Metz 45, if there's a hot foot or a pc sync cord is good working condition you should not have a problem. Do not know what's a Nikon d2x.

I also have a Nikon D200. The device plugs right into the front of the body and screws in further for security. It works as it should.

It should work with d200, I'm using it with d3200. d200 has less iso 1600 and more shutter speed compared to d3200. But this should not be a problem, because this lens takes in hell lot of light compared to normal lens we use with nikon. Dont forget to buy a f mount adaptor, and also a monopod/tripod.

mine has worked great for quite some time, the other commenters may be the case for. There are certain digital only nikon lens that won't fit this, such as CX lenses and others too I believe, so that may be the case...

Mine was great on my D2h, almost the same as your D2x. It works great as an auto focus short telephoto at 127mm focal length, 85mm x 1.5 = 127mm. Any Nikon SLR, film or digital that has a tiny screwdriver on the camera lens mount at the 7 o'clock position will work with this type of auto focus lens. The new lenses have the motor built into the lens, not the body.

Supposedly it works with Nikon P7000, P7100, J1, V1, D40, D40x, D50, D60, D70, D70s, D80, D90, D3000, D3200, D5000, D5100 & D7000. Although in the box or inside user guide mentions V1 or J1, it works with both as mentioned on Opteka website. I would asume that if it works with D5000, D5100 and D7000, it works with D5200. Somehow there is just a IR transmiter.

I have. I love it. I'm often using my old Yashinon 50mm/1.2 on it. I also have the same Olympus lens that you do... works great. I shoot on the 7D.

Yes, it will work fine. I commented on a response but I want this to be seen for others as well; It's all about careful positioning, and it comes with a dual-pivot point head so you can balance the bulk of the weight back or forward according to your needs. if the camera is heavier on one side I generally put it towards the leg with the logo which is longer from the pivot point. I am a professional photographer who always carries this pod with me, and I use it on many outings. I support a D700 with battery grip and a metal-body F/2.8 lens. Sometimes I've even stuck my 80-200 f/2.8 on there and that is HEAVY. My girlfriend has a D5100 and I would not hesitate. She holds my camera and can't believe I use it because it's so heavy (full alloy, everywhere) I believe if you have issues with it tipping over you should practice with positioning the tripod and camera. do not point the bulk of the weight away from the single leg, and use the head to pivot as well as possible to keep the center of gravity near the center of the pod. good luck! I highly recommend this one. I found mine at a yard sale and WILL buy another if it ever breaks. Here are some numbers: D700 - 2.39lb MB-D10 grip loaded - .89lb nikon 80-200 f/2.8 lens - 2.81lb TOTAL : SIX POUNDS, about five without grip! That's more than I'd like to put on the tripod, but possible in a pinch. Now here's a potential kit: D5100 - 1.22lb (already a pound lighter) nikon 10.5mm fisheye - .67lb TOTAL: 1.89lb!! Less than one THIRD the weight of my kit. Or if you have a pro lens, say the Nikon 17-55mm 2.8 ED DX, that's 1.65lb. So a total of 2.87lb. Still less than half the weight I've set on this tripod. :) careful to balance and it will work.

Yes, if you get the Nikon fit lens. There are two of these Tamrons available: one with an internal motor and one without. I believe both will work on your D200.

I have not used the Nikon flashes, but was considering them when I purchased the Sunpak. I have been very pleased with the power and performance of the Sunpak unit. If you are a serious amateur like myself, the Sunpak is more than sufficient and a much better value play.

Not sure how you mean to use it but mine is on my Nikon and feels robust and changes the whole dynamics of shooting. Check if it's good on your camera as on a Nikon i's a bit hit and miss as it's not designed for it.

I use it in my D200 which is also the same as the one in the D100 and have had no problems.

I have this lens and it works with my Nikon D200 just fine. If your worried, make sure you can return it.

Works with either one of two EN-EL3e batteries individually in each slot as well as AA adaptor. When both Nikon batteries are inserted does not function i.e. D90 does not power on. Am I missing something?

Hey frank m. This works great with a DMC fz200. I did a couple time lapses with it so far here's one at Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/73182089. It is also great for long exposures and shutter control for self portraits and anything else you can think up. M
