I have a 1 transmitter and 3 receivers, which work splendidly well for:

. Triggering the shutter release remotely using the transmitter in hand whilst a receiver is mounted on the hotshoe
. Triggering the flashguns connected to receivers when the transmitter is mounted on my Nikon's hotshoe.

Is there a way which I can trigger the shutter release remotely and also trigger the flashguns at the same time? Is it just a case of mounting another transmitter on top of the receiver already mounted on the hotshoe?

Cheers, Russ
 
Umm. ok, you have transmitter in hand with one receiver (connected via cable) on camera to fire the camera. You have two receivers left to fire 2 flashes off camera.

Turn them all on and Bob's your Aunty.
 
attach the reciver (controlling to the shutter) to the tirgger port, trigger in hand and another trigger on the flash gun.

the only problem with this is there might be sync issue as all DSLR's have a certain amount of lag from shutter button/trigger to actually moving the shutter mechanism. The flash would go off instantly but there might be a delay, introducing a 2nd trigger on the hot shoe sync'd to just the flash guns may resolve this.
 
You need a second transmitter.

First transmitter, in hand, links to a receiver connected to the camera's remote socket via cable and fires the camera. Second transmitter, on a different channel, goes either in the hot-shoe as normal or into the PC port via cable. That then triggers the receiver/s on the flashes (on the right channel obviously) when the camera fires.

I found this, so I thought I'd bump it :)

Works a treat at 200/1 and slower, but a tiny little bit of rear-curtain at 250/1.
