X-H1 And Flash Nikon SB800 ?

[Zababo]

Has anyone tried to connect an X-H1 with a Nikon flash SB800? Is that electronically compatible? 
Shure TTL is probably not ok but in Manuel mode, is it useful?

It should work without problems via the sync terminal. Only in manual, though. Just check the voltage on the hot shoe

Hi Ileo

My problem is the voltage, the impedance and things like that, that could damage my camera ...

You'll get manual and auto flash with the SB-800 but not TTL or CLS.

The electronics are low-voltage, so it's safe to use.

The SB-800 was the last of the great Nikon 'use on everything' flashes.

Thanks mawz. I gonna try it with less worry.

Did not work for me.  However, I was able to use my SB700's and 800's on my XE1.  No go on the XT series, or the XH1.  I just gave up and went to Good flash and triggers.

I am using the Nikon SU800, part of the R1C1 kit with my H1. A hot shoe adapter is required as the Fuji will not trigger a non-compatible flash from the hot shoe, but rather sends the signal to the PC terminal. With the R1C1, you must use the SC30 sync cords and set the SU800 to groups A and B. You then get individual power control of the SB200 units in manual mode. I set the power to 1/4, shutter to 250 and aperture on my Laowa 65/2.8 to f/8. Results are excellent but the rig is unwieldy and impossible to get into tight places.
