Not sure I have the title even right here. So here is what I tried today and trying to figure a way around this. What I want to do is use the D800 as the flash commander to fire my D700 and maybe several other flashes which I know the commander can do this trick. But at the same time I would like to mix my Profotos in as well maybe more like my main light for instance.
Now I use the Air remote which is hot shoe based but what I ran into was once I popped the on board D800 flash the hot shoe goes inactive. Actually I even tried the PC outlet and it also went inactive. Now I could simply not have my menu settings correct but would love to figure out how I can use this in combination. What would be nice is using my battery powered Profoto a Acute 600r along with maybe 2 910 strobes which I'm thinking about getting. This could give me some serious 600 watt power with Nikon fill lights for various setups. Just like to be able to combine this up since photo eyes don't work very well outside at all.
Any ideas? And yes I have NOT pulled out the manual. LOL
