Link a canon and a nikon Speedlight up?

[designboy]

Can this be done? I want them to trigger by the light sensor like my studio strobes? Never done it before but thought it would be easy done, I'm stuck

help, help, help!

Two rival camps trying to communicate with each other. Wouldn't hold my breath

Setting the guns to manual and triggering using an ordinary (cheap) slave may work.

It will work as each flash is dumb there's no compatibilty issues to deal with.

Well that's a different question, one regarding compability of wireless triggers with flashes.

I have a small hot shoe slave cell (£8 from WHE iirc) that lets my studio strobes trigger my cannon flashes if i ever need another light.
