If I get the Canon combo, I can use it also with my Canon EOS system and a monolight to shoot studio portraits, right?
correct. i was suggesting to get both: Canon and Sony, they are dirt cheap. but you are right.
Concerning the delay: if it really is 100 microseconds, it is 0.1 miliseconds, which is 1/10.000th of a second or 0.0001 second, not 0.01 second. That's why I find these numbers so ridiculous.
1us (microsecond) =1e-6 seconds
100us =1e-4 seconds
100x100us=1e-2 seconds = 0.01 seconds <<<< 100 units maximum at 100us per each unit. 01-100 range in C.Fn menu. that's number of units, not microseconds in total.
0.01s sync delay set in receiver + 0.01s sync delay set in transmitter = 0.02 seconds total sync delay
Sorry, but I don't get the part about the near distance.
flash wont fire if trigger and receiver is closer than approx. 30cm to each other. in case your trigger will be located at short distance to receiver, you will have to enable "short distance firing" in Godox terms . procedure is as per my note above. it shortens the connection range to 30 meters instead of 100 meters. I do not see this being an issue for your situation though.
Ah! Each N equals already 100 microseconds? I thought that N equals only 1 microsecond. I couldn't think of a reason to set a delay of 1 microsecond and electronics that can reliably do this must be expensive.
Sounds great then, Although 20 ms could still be a little bit too short since it is exactly equal to the reported shutter lag (+ I'm also seeing if the solution can be implemented in the workflow of a friend of mine. He uses a 5D III with Magic Lantern and Full Resolution Silent Picture with DNG output. I think that shutter lag must be considerably longer in that case).
