Ed_Ingold Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 The simplest way is to trigger one with a PW and the other photoelectrically. You could also make a junction box that connects one PW to two or more flashes. If the flashes are the same voltage and polarity, you could use diodes to isolate one from the other and a common ground or return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savagesax Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 If the lights are somewhat close together, like 10 to 15 feet, buy a Y connector and split the 2 lights off of the Y and the wizard at the bottom of the Y. Works great, but a pain to setup all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_fallon1 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 A related question (for Edward or anybody else who has experience in this area): I am just about to buy my first PWs (three multi-maxes) which I will use initially with Nikon Speedlights (one SB800, two SB600s - using the PW hot-shoe flash adaptor cable - and one SB-24 initially, soon to acquire a Profoto AcuteB 600R as well). I have also considered the possibility of using one PW to fire two flashes, but don't know anything about "isolating" the flashes/PW. I see on the PW website they have other isolating mounts for PWs, for eg to mount to super-clamps. In general how concerned do I need to be about isolating/blowing up PWs if connected to a single flash/strobe? Is it only when two flashes are fired off the same PW that this is a concern? Any helpful info/advice appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
