Help with triggers....

[Bobsyeruncle]

I've got 3 interfit stellar 300w heads, and have recently bought a lencarta atom from a member on here.
I've been looking at triggers, and it would make sense to try and get something that will work with both systems. The Lencarta/godox triggers have a USB connection and clips neatly to the side of the atom, but my stellar units have a 6.5mm jack socket.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks

For use inside or in low light, the red capped slave cells on top of the Stellars will fire when they detect the Lencarta unit flash. For use outside in bright light, it might be best to forget the USB wireless device and go for wireless triggers that have a PC Sync output socket, or a Sync output jack socket. My Yongnuo 622C transceivers have a PC Sync socket output, I'm sure some others will have one or the other but the specs should be checked. The Godox Wistro AD 360 has, according to the web, both a PC Sync socket and Sync Input Jack socket. All that would be needed then is the connect the chosen wireless remotes using cables such as:

As Harvey said, there are many options, it depends on your priorities. You can do it simply without buying anything more, or you can buy some simple triggers (RF603's and cables). If you have speedlights too and you want wireless control of them, then the best option would be some YN622's

Thanks for the replies guys
Up to now, I've used an older lastolite lumin8 trigger for my studio lights, and it also works with my speedlights, but as I only have one trigger, I'm then relying on the slaves to trigger the rest of the lights, which is OK, but not perfect.
Ideally I'd like to buy a transmitter and a couple of receivers, one for the studio lights and another for the speedlight which is sometimes used to light the background.
I bought the atom and a softbox, as it's great for setting up for "quick" shots where I don't need lots of lights or backdrops etc, and may buy another atom 360 to go with my 180.
I'll check out the yn622's

The Atom has a standard 3.5mm jack socket (as well as the USB connection) and you can use either or both.
So, you can use a Yn-622 or a RF-603 on all units, or you could could use the Wavesync Transmitter plugged into the passthrough hotshoe on the transmitter, which would give you triggering of all lights and remote control of the Atom. The 6.5mm input on your Interfits isn't a problem, you just need a 6.5 > 3.5 adapter for each

Thanks for that.
Is the only difference between the yn622 and the yn603 that one is ttl and the other manual?
I take it you can't mix triggers? Eg wavesync commander and receiver for my atom, and yn603's for my studio lights?
I'm not likely to use the atom and the studio lights at the same time, but who knows?

The YN-622 is also a tail end sync trigger. Yes, you can mix triggers and this is what I was trying to explain. Put the Yongnuo trigger into your camera hotshoe, plug the receivers for it into your Interfits and that's the firing of the interfits taken care of.
Then plug the Wavesync Transmitter into the Yongnuo hotshoe, plug the Waveysnc receiver into the Atom and that's the Atom taken care of, and you'll have full remote control of the Atom too.

ah, right. Now I get it. Thanks for that.
