I have recently purchased the interfit 2 head kit for a small studio set up at home. (which is great value) I also have a jessops own brand off camera flash, can this be combined with the 2 head kit?
the flash i have is a jessops 360afdc and it has the ettl function. If i can use it, how would I go about it? Sorry for the noob questions, just a little blinded by the science!!
thanks in advance

yep.

it's just a matter of getting everything to go off at the right time.

which might mean having to use the jessop's flash in manual mode, rather than ETTL.

Thanks for that! When you say manual mode, what do you mean? (Sorry for the dumb questions?!)

if your smaller flash is in ettl, and the interfits are set to go off when they see a flash, the ettl pre-flash will set them off and they won't be recharged soon enough to light when the shutter's actually open.

if you put the little flash in manual mode, it will flash just once and trigger the studio strobes at the right time.
