Triggering 2x Lencarta smart flash heads AND a flash gun?

[al.]

Hi guys, I currently have 1x flash gun which is triggered by a wireless trigger.

I plan to get 2x Lencarta smartflash heads for use this weekend.

I would like to trigger all 3 if possible, does anyone know how?

Cheers
Alex

the wireless flash should trigger the studio lights im pretty sure they have sensors built in

ah right I am only using the flash gun to light the background, there fore dubias as to whether it will set off the smartflashes ...

i bought the wireless trigger for the Lencartas just incase, but unsure how to fire the flashgun if I'm using the Lencarta trigger lol


Cheers

Trigger the flash gun wirelessly and set the studio lights as slaves. The camera fires the flash gun, the studio flashes go off in sync.

Ah even if the flashgun is only aimed to light the background ?

Yep as long as the lights can see the flash they'll flash, have used mine (not lencarta) with my flash all over the place and they always work fine

You'll probably be fine. Just make sure there's no sunlight streaming through the windows, which there shouldn't be anyway as it'll ruin your lighting effect. If the room is reasonably dimmed (it doesn't have to be dark) the Lencartas' slaves will pick up the flash no problem.
