Post subject:  Linking two Einsteins with Sync Cable

Hi - I have two Einsteins and one MC2.

- Einstein #1 with the MC2 (master)
- Einstein #2 (slave)

Is it possible to use the "master" Einstein to trigger the "slave" Einstein via the cable (using the "sync" ports)? If possible, which type of cable do I need?

No, running a sync cord between two lights so that one triggers from the other which is triggered via the radio port is not possible, at least not reliably (I was unable to get it to work).

You can split a receiver that would plug into the sync jack so that it runs to two different lights, however.

While you cannot link them with a wire, you could use the built in optical slave to pop a second or third Einstein at the same time your radio trigger pops the one with the radio equipped unit.
