Thanks for your thought Peter. I am not sure that this would be an answer given that both the wireless and wired remote triggers tie into the same 10 pin connector and perform the identical functions otherwise, as best that I can determine. There is a hot shoe for flash attachment on the D500, so this shouldn't be relevant to a flash, nor is there any flash feedback function
in the WR-R10.
I am not certain I want to spend the $65 or so for the MC-30A after having already spent $200 for the wireless capability without doing some further investigation. Right now it's a conundrum.

The WR-R10 can also be used to control up to 18 SB-5000 speedlights. The early units with firmware versions 1 and 2 were simple remotes, firmware 3 enabled the flash master functions for the D5, D500 and D850.
I have read somewhere that you can attach the WR-R10, go into the Shooting menu, Flash Control and set the mode to off. This should enable the shorter shutter speeds with the WR-R10 attached. As I don't have one, I can't try this.
