Can I use both flashes at the same time remotely?

Yes I have used two off camera. actually you can do more than two. I have done three. You will need to find some quite time or a corner to get to know your flashes.

You can use more than two you will need more triggers. Also you will need to find a corner or some quite time to used of your flashes.

yes you can I found it most convenient to have the small flash of the camera and then I setup this flash on its own mini tripod I use it as a backlight or a side light and the effects are absolutely wonderful.

you can trigger it remotely, but it can't be used in E-TTL mode in that case (ie. you lose communication with the camera) unless it's connected with an off-camera cable that supports E-TTL. If you have a light meter or are comfortable setting up exposure manually it's not a big deal.

You can use the same remote for both, its basically an IR emitter and the bulb looks for a certain ir blink pattern, the control patterns are the same for both bulbs

It should work either with the transmitter/receiver that comes with it, or any flash that has an IR emitter. I use a Canon Speedflash, that triggers both of the studio lights with no problem.

The hot shoe only acts as a support and need not be used for the unit. You can still use the remote and that flash at the same time!

As long as the flash. You are using is strong enough for the distance between flashes it should work. I used one monolight to trigger the other. I used a wireless trigger to trigger the first one and it in turn trigger the second.

Yes, although I am not sure about it's capabilities using remote flashes. I am an amateur and I am just now "getting to know" this camera. (it is a great camera and a big step up from my old Alpha) I do not understand all of the flash options and advantages/disadvantages as of now!

The flash is controlled by the camera, so yes. This plugs into the remote-control interface.

Yes! We use 2 flashes , off camera and with on camera flashes too.. each of us can fire off all flashes, or just one flash, etc.. up to 4 flashes can see used. And if you are camera flash shopping, I recommend buying the Phottix flash. It comes with a built in transmitter.

You can use it either way. You can buy radio triggers (an additional item) or you can use the built in optical slave (S1 or S2 mode); An optical slave requires another flash to trigger it.

You would need two. One to act as a transmitter and one as the receiver. The unit can act as either one but not as both at the same time of course. Make sure you get the correct flash sync cable for your flash. http://www.pocketwizard.com/products/cable_accessory/flash_sync_cables/

It should. Sounds like the same thing I am doing. Only problem is, you will not have electronic exposure control on the remote flash, only trigger.

Sorry you can't. What you can do, is see both cameras with the a shuffle of audio. I use the function all the time.

I have the 568 but use it only as an off camera flash, not remotely, or controlled remotely. I am sorry but I do know anything about their remote control system. If you go to their website, you will find a PDF on this flash. Their manuals are not very good, but it might help. Where are you located. My e-mail is cthahn@tampabay.rr.com if you want any more infomation.

Yes you can that's what I did. You have to program them both at the same time. BTW my name is Andy too.

You can set each one if this triggers as you like to, if you want to have one as transmitter the rest if them have to be set as receivers and they will trigger the flash, hope this help I have 3 and I use one as a master the other 2 as slaves and I can have a set up of 3 lights using the one in camera if I need to and 2 off camera flashes with the other 2 set up as a receivers.

No. I use it quite often on both modes and it works very well. I assume you mean flash.
