Hi all,
I've been looking at a way of triggering my off camera flash units while still using an on camera flash. I know the slave mode's on flash units are available but this is not an option for me as other people will be using camera flash other than myself in the same location.
Are their any set ups or devices out there that allow me to do this? I can't seem to find one I think based on my dodgy search criteria.
Ta,
MJ
 
It would probably work if you had a cable to the secondary flash. We'd need to know your camera make/model as well as the flash so we can help a bit more :thumbs:
 
Get a set of triggers with TTL pass-through like Phottix Strato and RF-603s. You can control the off-camera flashes through the system's channel option - but flash power will have to be set manually - but a pass-through hotshoe on the trigger allows the use of an on-camera flash with TTL exposure. I use this system for fill flash and it works fine, although I'm not usually surrounded by other togs.....

Don't know if PW make a TTL trigger system with pass-through.....
 
Thanks. I'll probably invest in the YN 603's as I have two of their speedlights already and I'm quite impressed with them. I use a canon 450d btw.
