Lencarta Ultrapro and YN-622n

[GaryFife]

I can use my Lencarta Ultrapro's with a YN-622-N attached to light through syn cable. What I was wondering is that these lights have their own built in receiver, so has anyone got them to work without the sync cable using YN-622-N's? If so how?

Would be easier this way, then I would have one on my camera, the two ultrapro's working with their own built in receivers, and my other two YN-622-N's for extra speedlites if needed.

If the speedlights are firing ETTL, you'll need receivers on the studio flashes. If you're firing manually, just one receiver is required (usually*), everything else will fire optically.

*unless you've got stuff hidden round corners, you're hiding flashes behind massive modifiers or the trigger light is only putting out a vary narrow beam. If you put the trigger on a fill light, all the other flashes should see it.

Thanks for the reply Phil, any idea why the Ultrapro wont fire without the radio trigger being attached via syn cable? I had though that even for using one Ultrapro I could use the YN-622-N on camera and that would fire a light using the built in receiver on the light.

The built in receiver on the light doesn't know anything about what the YN622 is transmitting. Plug another YN622 into the light as a reciever and you're all set. all your other lights will work as optical slaves, and fire from that first flash.
