Flash remote help

[jockwav]

Ok this has been annoying me for a while now,so i have not been using it,slave mode.
I have triggers to fire my 3 speedlights,but i was messing around using my popup flash on my canon 70d to fire a 430EX 11 & if i use my sekonic 308s to try & get a meter reading it is taking it from my popup & not my off camera 430,as though the popup fires slightly before the ocf.
So the end result is it is showing the wrong meter reading as it would over expose using what it showed.
If i put a bit of tissue paper over the popup the sekonic takes the meter reading from the off camera 430 for a correct exposure.
Not a huge problem as i can use my remote triggers but it would be nice to have it working the way i would like though,any help appreciated.

It's all about the angle of the dangle. If you're inside, you don't need the master flash to be pointing directly at the slaves. So what about gaffer taping a little bit of something reflective at 45 degrees in front of the pop-up and bouncing it? Better still, if you can, stick the pop-up in manual and dial it right down.

I have found the answer after trial & error.
Even with the popup in manual mode & turned right down to the minimum it makes no difference.
It is the popup hitting my light meter first that is the problem,so just covering the popup with a bit of tissue solves it & i get a correct reading from the meter now.
I was hoping there was another answer but hey ho it works ok.
