Have a Z7 and an SB-700 Speedlite.

 

Can anybody tell me the simplest way to trigger the flash when it is on a separate stand, off camera?

 

I need to control the output and settings on the flash from the radio trigger that would mount onto the hotshoe of the Z7.

 

Does Nikon make one that works with SB-700, or any other company? Does the Godox Xpro work?

Any of the Godox wireless triggers work for your application as long as you get a Godox TTL for Nikon receiver for your SB-700. If you don't need the radio link, a used SU-800 works remarkably well.

As Peter says, a radio trigger set is the best option here. Personally, I would not recommend investing in the Nikon SU-800. Even cheap radio triggers will be more reliable.

Just got Yongnuo RF-603NII-N3 Wireless Flash Trigger Kit off Amazon for £31.

 

Does loads. Triggers SB-700 when off camera, in Manual mode only, admittedly, but TTL is like Russian Roulette to me anyway, never used it, never will. I prefer to set flash in manual and set flash output myself for consistency.

 

Yongnuo also triggers camera remotely too so two for the price of one, and only £31, and, unlike the Nikon, it's Radio controlled so don't have to be in line-of-site like with TV-remote style Nikon one.
