[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 777727, member: 10742"] Essentially, Yes... The Yongnuo YN622N-tx is a transmitter/controller... about $45 on Amazon... It will talk (radio not CLS) with [COLOR=#0F1111][FONT=arial]YONGNUO Wireless TTL Flash Trigger YN622N II with High-Speed Sync HSS 1/8000s for Nikon Camera... <-- they're about $85/pair on Amazon... Or $85 for 1 Trigger and 1 Transmitter... You would have to mount the Transmitter on the camera, and a trigger on each light that you'd want to control... Unfortunately, you would NOT be able to use the SB-800 as a "controller"... An alternative, depending on where you'd use the lights, is a simple Optical Slave for the 2 small lights and the SB-800 on-camera... Of course, the lights would all fire, but you would have to manually configure the slaved lights as the SB-800 would not control them. They would simply fire based on the light pulse/flash from the SB-800 on-camera. Typically, Controller/Transmitters do not have a hot shoe on top to add a light, unless they are of the combined design whereby the Transmitter is also a Trigger... [/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
