I am planning on a series using the Dp2 and DP3Ms with 2, possibly 3 flashes - off camera and through umbrellas. This is not my usual way of working and flash is not a strong point.
I have an SB800 for a Nikon which works off the hotshoe of my DP2M in manual mode - although from memory there are weird restrictions on shutter speeds. I have also bought my daughter 2 (incredibly cheap) Yongnuo flashes which also work well with the Nikon and in conjunction with the SB800. So I am trying to work out something that will fire all 3, or possibly just 2, from the DPxMs - obviously in manual mode.
There is a very cheap Yongnuo wireless trigger for Nikon which looks possible - frankly the idea of spending serious money on Pocket Wizards does not appeal since this is probably a one-off project.
So my question is: if the hotshoe on the DP2M will fire the SB800 is there any reason why it should not also trigger the wireless transmitter which will fire the flashes? Am I missing something and does anyone have any experience and advice on using speedlite type flashes remotely from the DPxMs?
thanks
