Thinking outside of the box again … this little device is used to share your music with friends. It also works great as a trigger hub for speed lights in a FourSquare box (or your box of choice). We used only one radio receiver and the Belkin hub. It worked exactly as expected, great at taking the signal and sending it out to the attached speed lights be it Nikon or Canon or whoever. Using this with optical slaves that have a PC connection, is terrific way to use “old” Canon flashes that did not have a PC connection.
I found this on Amazon for only fourteen dollars. They call it a Belkin RockStar 5-Way headphone splitter. I have been using a custom made splitter, this is a little more funky, but the price savings is great!!!!!
Just tried this with my Godox X1R receiver, but it didn’t work.
Not even just 2 flashes connected to the splitter worked, so I guess I need to have one parallel pair in series with another parallel pair.
Since that probably means a DIY solution, I will more likely get some more receivers…
Haven’t tried this with any of the 2.4ghz transcievers. Contacts could be different on the Godox.
I ordered a similar “no name” from Ebay before I found your blog,
Only 8 bucks.
Tested with 3 headphones and works fine that way.
Anyway, the X1R can trigger 2 flashes via a hot shoe and a sync port,
so I only need 1 receiver more and that also gives me 2 groups if I want.
But too bad the splitter didn’t work for my equipment, it’s a cool idea. 🙂
