p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · 2 Masters for 2 600 EX-RT slaves?


Hi

Just wondering if anyone knows the answer or has tried this.

I own 2 600 EX-RT units. I will be covering an event and will be using 2 cameras (1DX) one with a 24-70, the other with a 70-200.

I am looking at renting 2x 600 EX-RT units.

My question is this: can I set the 600 EX-RT on my cameras as MSTER and then separately control the other 2 600 EX-RT units?

I am assuming that if all 4 units are on the same channel this will work with the radio wireless system.

Yes you can. Which ever master turns on first will have green link light. The second master will have yellow link light.

Just set them on same channel/ID. I have the masters in Group A and one slave in Group B and one in group C.

If you have separate settings on the masters, take a test shot or press the test sync button to sync the settings to the slaves, otherwise the first shot from that master would still use the settings from the other master.

I never had issues with sync buttons to set the settings of the slaves, as far as i know, the slaves will fire based on whatever setting you have them on in your master

Your question was basically asked and answered in a recent thread


https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1315286

Some links in that may be worth reading
