Two flash guns one Pocket wizard FlexTT5

[onform]

I finally figured it out...

I have wanted to use two flashguns in one soft box for one of either two reasons, an extra stop of light at my disposal or half the recycling times whilst still retaining full ETTL.

Up until now I would of had to use both my Pocket Wizard FlexTT5's up for one softbox, one on each gun, now I can free up the other TT5 for another flash gun or two! So in total I could have five flashguns firing off one transmitter and two receivers.

To achieve it I used a Phottix duo TTL cable. But even this didn't work at first as both the cable and FlexTT5 are not designed to work in this manner so I had to trick them into thinking only one flash was connected.

If anyone is interested I will do a more in depth Demo with photo's later but I have to go out right now..

Just thought I would share this..

Yes please, when you've got a mo

Not done this myself with those Duo leads, but I thought it was straightforward so long as both guns were identical models?

I thought it would be straight forward also.. And when you know how, it is. I just can't believe more people are not trying to do it! and there doesn't seem to be anything online about it either??

Sorry guys I'm not ignoring you! I went to set up and do some test shots and I couldn't get it to work... So maybe I have not figured it out just yet, low batteries needs to be ruled out though but I can't find any cr2450 disk batteries locally..
