Has anyone done this? I'm sure it would work fine on manual, but if it was all on the same channel, how would it handle power tracking and such? Or would it just not work so well?

I use a pair or TT1 at every wedding - all triggering the same remote flashes

It's a common practice and works just fine.

When I shoot sports I have 2 -3 bodies with different lenses, all have a TT1 on the same channel.

Thanks. I'm just wondering if I wasn't using manual and changed settings on the cameras if the power tracking would still work right. Or if I could use a pair of AC3's and have slightly different settings on each...I guess the best way to find out is get another set.

each TT1 isn't aware of the other so that's not an issue
it's the camera/TT1 that's sending the info to the remotes before each fire so regardless of what TT1 #1 does, when TT1 #2 sends a command, no previous info at the remotes exists
