Is there any way I can trigger my second flashgun?

[Cris_L]

Ok so this is the portable set up I have..

5D2, 430EXii, YN 465, 1x TTL cord and 1 transmitter 1 receiver RF602.

What I want to do is use the 430 as a key light and the 465 as a back light...I'm guessing i need to get a second 602 reciever to enable this to happen but I just wondered if anyone knew of another way??

cheers

Cheers Scott, that would work!

It would work if you are not using ettl.
If you are you using ettl you may have the back light prematurely triggering on the ettl pre flash.
Is there such a thing as a hot shoe splitter? If there is you may be able to connect the ettl cable and the wireless trigger to the camera and would fire both flashes simultaneously.

Otherwise an additional wireless receiver is the way forward.

There are various ways you could do it, but the best way is surely to get a second receiver - cheap, easy, versatile.
