The independent Japanese flash manufacturer - Nissin - presented its new wireless flash system with radio frequency control. The so-called The first flash unit compatible with the Nissin Air System (NAS) is the adaptation of the Di700 to the new system. The Di700A has the same technical parameters as the current model (key number: 48m), but it can also communicate with other NAS-system flashes and the Nissin Commander Air 1 control unit within a 30-meter range via a built-in 2.4GHz radio transmitter. The Di700A flash head with a 24-200 mm zoom reflector and the shortest sync time of 1/8000 sec will be equipped with three communication channels, so the system will be able to operate a total of 21 flash heads at the same time.

The new Nissin Commander Air 1 control unit, connected to the hot shoe of compatible cameras, wirelessly controls and fires external NAS system flashes. The device can control three flash groups with +/-2EV TTL flash exposure compensation, and it also has 8 levels of manual power distribution, short sync time, and a flash function synchronized to the first and second shutter.
