Mixing Lencarta and Bowens

[TG.]

Can anyone please tell me if you can use a Lencarta 300w elite pro 2 with a Bowens Gemini 400/400 kit using this triggering kit https://www.amazon.co.uk/Godox-Channels-Wireless-Transmitter-Speedlite/dp/B015CDG5EY I have no idea about Bowens but making enquiries for someone else. Many thanks in advance

The Godox triggers will not work with Bowens lights as Bowens 400/400 triggering system is as basic as it gets. You could use the Godox triggers on the Lencarta lights and the Bowens light can be triggered from its built in optical sensor.

What Redsnappa said although I would add if it's the newer Rx Gemini heads you could use their inbuilt radio system instead but the end result is the same, the radio system is different so you're forced to rely on the optical sensor to fire the other brand's heads or if that's not an option get an external radio trigger for each head.

Your best option may be to plug one of these into each Bowens head, and another one into your camera hotshoe https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/2219600635...=9046686&device=c&campaignid=856939856&crdt=0
Then plug the Godox transmitter into the pass through hotshoe on the Yongnuo trigger, and a receiver into each Lencarta head.
You will then have triggering on all flashes, and full remote control on the Lencarta ones
