Hi all
I was wondering if anyone with relevant experience/gear can answer the following questions and help me out.
The key question is, does the the 600EX-RT function as a radio master at all if it is not physically on the camera hot shoe? If yes, then what happens in the following situations:
Situation 1: I have a MiniTT1 on camera, and 600EX-RT on the shoe- the MiniTT1 using standard triggering to trip a non-Canon flash (Godox, FYI) on the the FlexTT5 hotshoe. In this situation, can the 600EX-RT act as a radio master and trip and control other 600EX-RTs?
Situation 2: I have a MiniTT1 on camera, and the OC-E3 is on the the MiniTT1 hotshoe. Can I connect a 600EX-RT to the other end of the cord and have it function as a radio master?
Situation 3: I have a MiniTT1 on camera, and 600EX-RT is on the FlexTT5 (no non-Canon flash in the system, FYI). Can the off camera 600EX-RT act as a radio master?
Situation 4: I have a OC-E3 cord on camera, and 600EX-RT is on the other end of the cord. Can the off camera 600EX-RT act as a radio master?
I am planning to go either the MiniTT1/FlexTT5 way if at least some of the above options are possible, to combine my Godox AD360 with the 3 Speedlites. If not, I plan to go the YN-E3-RX route. That is cheaper, but less reliable and I still haven't heard a single review of the YN receiver with non-Canon lights.
Thanks so much in advance!
