New Bowens 500 kit- How to trigger both light

[John Mac]

I just set up my new Bowens 500 Esprite Gemini Kit in my new studio. I only have one cord to attach to the camera, Can I work both lights from this cord or do I have to get the remote transmitter? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you connect one light to your camera.
You can then use your other light as a 'slave'. This will fire when it 'sees' the flash from your tethered light.

Thanks for the reply, Can you explain how it sees (Do I need to be standing ahead of the lights? and how do I set it on the lights..? Sorry for the stupid questions!
