Basic situation: I have access to quite a few 430EX and 580EX, but feel more at home with a Nikon. Which makes me curious what would happen if one puts a N-version smart radio trigger on the camera hot shoe and some C-version RX under the flashes? Products coming to mind would be the Odins and PW FlexTT.
Do they realize they are montague and capule and don't talk to each other? Simple center contact triggering? Or something completly different? Has anybody tried that and lives to tell the tale?
TIA
At launch, basic interoperability between Nikon and Canon flavours of PocketWizard ControlTL has been implemented. Specifically, it's possible to remotely adjust and trigger:
A Canon Speedlite on a Canon-version FlexTT5 from a Nikon camera with Nikon-version MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 attached.
A Nikon Speedlight on a Nikon-version FlexTT5 from a Canon camera with Canon-version MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 attached.
CaNikon: A Nikon D3S + MiniTT1 was used to trigger a pair of Canon Speedlite 550EXs on Canon FlexTT5s.
