I am exploring flash more and more. I am not ready for light stands, umbrellas and the like but have progressed from bounce to on-flash diffusers and now want to try 2 Speedlights together - one on camera and one off. So I got myself the above 2 units to try with the crazy idea that I'd use the 430EXiii-RT on the hotshoe and trigger the 430EXii as a radio slave.
I've been on multiple threads here, looked at other forums and websites and have been through both manuals but cannot get this to work leaving me with 2 possible explanations: 1) This cannot be done with these two flashes and I'd need some other trigger, or 2) I am just missing some step or setting despite my efforts.
So far, I can set up the RT as a master, can switch channels and groups, and change the ID. I can, on the 430EXii, set the same channel and group and set it to "slave" mode. Both are on ETTL. But, the slave will not fire.
Please tell me I am stupid and missed some steps (go easy on me) or that this cannot be done.
Thanks.
