Thanks for that. So the Phottix Odins do not allow a flash to be mounted on top of the camera's Odin (trigger) and contribute to the exposure? If that is the case, why does the Odin trigger have a hotshoe on it?
EDIT: I just went and looked at them - I was mistaking the Odin with something else - no hotshoe. Obviosly there is no way for a pass-through with this design.

That is one reason that I use the PW - it has the hotshoe and by default I use the PW even for a single. on board flash.

While that is a nice thing about Pocket Wizard i have no desire to use their TT line whatsoever since i sent them back for return.

It looks like the new yn-622s are going to do everything that you could want, and for dirt cheap.
I've head horror stories about yongnuo products, but my yn-560 has been an amazing flash and I've used it a ton.

I have used Yongnuo triggers for years and for the price they are pretty darn good. They don't have the build quality of many others but the price makes up for that - I just buy extras ;)
I am waiting to see what the YN-622C's are like as they have pass-thru so you can mount a flash on the camera for on-axis fill as well as control a remote strobe or two.

I just saw this youtube video and it looks good. They haven't done the on-camera use yet but will report on it soon. I want to do wireless, on-camera, off-camera, and so far this looks the best.
