Hmmmm - I dont get why this didnt work for me. I was outside, and it was sunny.... but I still cant see that voiding the test

Optical slaves don't normally work well in sun, becaue sun effect what the slave cell can see. If the sun is brighter then the slave cell its not going to see it and it will not trigger the flash.

Hmm interesting

I have just got home from work and tried this...

Indoors, in complete shade - S1 mode now works - and fires optically.
If the Godox is anywhere near a light source (even in shade, close to light) it doesn't fire.

My Yongnuo speedlites fire optically even when in direct sunlight

fwiw, for my test above the 360 was sitting directly under (less than a meter) a large, two bulb fluorescent light fixture.

Lovely little flashes but obviously saved a bit of money on the slave cells and AF light! http://www.englishphot​ographer.com …960-battery-flash-review/ (external link)

More testing last night basically confirmed that slave mode doesn't work at all outside, which is a real shame, as my cheap Yongnuo flashes work well on slave, even in full sunlight

This is the second time you mentioned about the YN, so I would just use your YN or buy some triggers

Never bothered testing the CLs with optical triggering but I did some testing with Canon Speedlites years ago and discovered that they would work outside providing the sensor was in a shaded area relative to the sun. It could be just a matter of angling the speedlite to create the shade for the sensor. Then making sure the trigger strobe was in direct line or site.

Have no idea if these precautions will help with the CLs.
