I'm going to be adding the ABR800 to my setup, but had a question about how it connects to the camera.

From reading on the AB website it seems like it connects via a sync cord. The question I had was would you connect the ABR800 to the sync port and then use the RFT1TX Transmitter to set off the other stobes, or set all the stobes to slave and then set them off with the ABR800.

Could you use the sync port in conjunction with the RFT1TX which mounts to the hot shoe?

What would be the best way to connect a ABR800 with 4 additional strobes? Thanks.

Just fire the ringlight. The others will be triggered by the flash. You don't have to "set" the other 4..just don't plug sync cords or transmitters into them. They're automatic.
