Hi guys, I am trying to figure out if there is a way to sinc up 1 SB24, 1, SB600, and 1 canon 580exii. If i use 1 PCB receivers how would i be able to flash all these at once through 1 softbox. I am trying to avoid using 3 receivers on each speedlight. I know there are splitters and such to use but any advice would be a big help. Thanks |

You can buy these and daisy chain a cable: http://www.flashzebra.com/hotshoes-shoes/0065.shtml or get this and split the 1/8" cable: http://www.flashzebra.com/products/0154/index.shtml |

Just a note. Doing this with the 3 lights listed is fine. However, if you mix some older, high sync voltage speedlites with lower sync voltage lights, can possibly cause some damage to the receiver or one of the lights. The three lights listed are all <6VDC sync voltage, and should play well together. |

Thanks Kenyee, You are like the tech camera God. I just had a few more questions regarding this. With the daisy cable and the other splitter you were talking about. How many splitters do i need for this system. Its a little confusing to me to wrap my head around and as always thanks in advance. If you could post a few links to this system that would be great as well. |

Do daisy chained, it looks like: trigger -> cable -> hotshoe -> cable -> hotshoe -> cable -> hotshoe If it's a splitter, you need one because 1/8" splitters for headphones are usually 2:1 trigger -> pc sync cable -> hotshoe -> splitter -> (hotshoe2 + hotshoe3) |
