Not strictly true, I can fire two flashes directly off a single PW....
How'd you do that?
with a headphone splitter, I think it was £1.65 from Maplins
Doesn't seem to be much point in using wireless triggers if you have to use a ton of cabling between the trigger and flash...
If I were to use 2 splitters, i'd be able to fire 4 flashes with 2 CyberSync recievers.
That simple? I thought I'd read somewhere that trying to fire two units didn't work due to voltages or something... (yes, I didn't read it all that well ) and never bothered to research more into it! I think I'll pop in tomorrow! Cheers!

I thought hard about the RF602's but I don't think you can trigger a remote camera from another camera (which is what I wanted them for) or can you?
Hardly "a ton of cabling", unless you're using really heavy duty pc cords.
Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong, but afaik Cybersyncs aren't CE rated, therefore are technically illegal to use in this country.....
They are CE rated, they have a CE mark on them.
You can, with the right lead the RF-602 will trigger anything - hot shoe flash, co-ax cable flash, studio flash, or camera.

So where do you mount the transmitter or do you need a N3 cable for the transmitter as well as the receiver?
Not sure exactly what Dod was trying to do here in post #34,
You could adjust the FPS in the MkIII to match the MKII if required.
Just like he says, when he presses the shutter release on camera one he wants to activate the shutter release on camera two at the same time wirelessly. So presumably the transmitter will be connected to camera one and the receiver to camera two with a cable from the receiver to the N3 (Canon) remote socket.
The question would be, if the transmitter is placed on the hot shoe of camera one would this trigger the receiver to fire the shutter on camera two?
I think what Dod is trying to achive is two shots of the same subject at the same time but from different angles. One shot from a fixed camera on a tripod and the other hand held with the hand held camera triggering the fixed one.
If the delay is miniscule then I doubt it will matter.
Yep, could be bikes, horses, or like this weekend, dogs. I'll be shooting with one camera hand held as normal but want that one to trigger the remote camera at the same time.
The reason why I can't trigger them both remotely is that the movement of the subjects is too unpredictable. I accept I'll miss some shots with the remote camera but can't afford to have them both set up on a fixed point and hope that the subject's going to be there.
If I'd known that it might have saved a bit of cash. I'd have just had to decide if the individual shots were too much of a limitation.RF-602 will do that. Transmitter on one camera and receiver on the other, using the camera cord supplied. There will be a fractional delay before the seond camera fires, as described.
But holding the shutter button down in this set up will not keep the second camera firing - it will only respond to individual trigger pulses from the transmitter every time the first camera fires. However, if you shoot with the slower camera hand-held, the faster second camera will be up and ready every time and so will fire in sync.
I've tried it and this works fine with my 350D hand-held as (slower) camera #1 and 40D as (faster) remote camera #2 but I can't try it the other way round as the 350D needs a different connector. I strongly suspect that the two would immediately get out of sync and that firing of the second camera would be intermittent at best.
There will be a workaround to sort out the continuous mode on the 2nd camera, just need to find it.
What about the auto focus on the 2nd camera, does it work or are we stuck on manual?
