I mean bieng able to hold down the shutter and have the camera fire at 3 frames per second. It works great with the flash on the camera but i cant seem to figure out how to make it work with wirless cls.
Have you ever tried your flash "off cam" in regular mode? It is called "commander mode". I ask just to get some idea as to where you may need help.

i am trying to use the flash off camera for shooting sporting events like High School B-Ball. I would like to use the camera in continuous shooting mode and have the flash (which is off the camera and mounted on a stand on the sidelines)keep up with me. It works great if the flash is on the camera but when i take it off it seems to disable the couninuous mode and i only get one exposure at a time. Is this more clear? Sorry if i am not discribing this well.
From my experinence with my sb800 I don't think you can shoot continous with the flash "off the cam". I searched the net awhile back and many say that the on board power in the flash (batteries) can't recycle fast enough to shoot in continous mode.
If I remember correctly, somehow your camera battery helps the flash do it's job in continous mode when it is "on" the camera.
I'll look over some bookmarks and if I find anything I saved I'll post in this thread.
I have a D70 and a Sb600. I want to use the continuous shooting mode with the flash off camera, wirelessly. Is this possible?
Maybe with a set of pocket wizards. But the flash will not recharge rapidly enough to give you many shots in the burst.
At 1/4 power with a Nikon speed light with the standard batteries you'd get about 4 shots before recycle was needed.
