Using quantum t5dr and sb800 together .

[manny212]

I have both lights and yongnuo yn-622 triggers . I can fire both light using this trigger but ttl only for sb 800 , and t5dr manual .

If I would like to fire both units ttl what would be the best option ?

Qnexus on t5dr slaved off sb800 ?

Freewire ?

co-pilot ?

Am researching , but have tied myself into a knot here .


Want to work with what I have here so far and avoid purchasing a bunch of other stuff if possible . Thanks ,

Manny

What are you doing that requires multiple lights in TTL? Might not shooting in manual be an easier proposition?

You are absolutely correct , and I do manual 99% of the time . I guess I must have phrased my question wrong .


Here is my dilemma , I'm Old , lazy , and don't have an assistant , so having to go to each light to change the setting is a drag . Once I get it in the ball park how can I adjust output from my camera using these two systems .


Does this clarify it a bit ? Sorry Tirediron , like I said I've really tied myself into a knot researching all this stuff .

Okay, so what you really want is just the ability to control your lights from the camera, not true TTL?

Correct , like I said after I get things in the "ballpark" ,If I have to do a minor adjustment here or there , do them from camera .

Gotcha... I'm a big fan of 'lazy' my self. That Qnexus looks like it would do the trick nicely.
