I wanted to know if I could use a cheap Yongnuo RF-603 C3 radio trigger/transmitter to trigger my 580 EX and have my CST trigger in the hotshoe on the Yongnuo to trigger my Einsteins... 5D MKIII|7D w/ Grip|EF-S 10-22MM f/3.5-4.5|EF-S 17-55MM f/2.8 IS|EF 24-105MM f/4L IS|EF 50MM f/1.4|EF 70-200MM f/2.8L IS|85mm f/1.8|35mm f/2 IS|70-300MM f/4-5.6 IS|580EX|Manfrotto 055PROB|2x PCB Einstein 640

Just fire the 580EX any way you want. The Einsteins will fire on their own. "If you're not having fun, your pictures will reflect that." - Joe McNally

Jan 01, 2013 13:40 | #8 Haha, I never thought about the optical triggers on the Einsteins... I guess the el cheapo cowboy studio or yongnuo triggers should work for the 580ex which should trigger the Einsteins.... can i still use my cyber commander for the Einsteins to adjust power? 5D MKIII|7D w/ Grip|EF-S 10-22MM f/3.5-4.5|EF-S 17-55MM f/2.8 IS|EF 24-105MM f/4L IS|EF 50MM f/1.4|EF 70-200MM f/2.8L IS|85mm f/1.8|35mm f/2 IS|70-300MM f/4-5.6 IS|580EX|Manfrotto 055PROB|2x PCB Einstein 640

Jan 02, 2013 01:00 | #10 cool, thanks.. think i'm leaning towards the cowboy studio triggers... 1 trigger and 2 receivers for $30... can't really go wrong... unless they somehow fry my hotshoe on my 5d mkiii, and my 580ex... 5D MKIII|7D w/ Grip|EF-S 10-22MM f/3.5-4.5|EF-S 17-55MM f/2.8 IS|EF 24-105MM f/4L IS|EF 50MM f/1.4|EF 70-200MM f/2.8L IS|85mm f/1.8|35mm f/2 IS|70-300MM f/4-5.6 IS|580EX|Manfrotto 055PROB|2x PCB Einstein 640

CST on camera with the CyberCommander close by makes for an easy setup for me. More expensive than your setup, but it serves me well. 5D3-24-105 f/4.0L-70-200mm f/2.8L II-85mm 1.8-50mm 1.4-430EXII- 580EXII-600EX-RT--Einsteins
