Mixing Sony flash & RF60x

Hi,
I have an A6000 for which I originally bought a HVL-F43M flash. Then decided I wanted to learn off-camera flash techniques, so I bought a V6-IIs and an RF60x. I'm not sure now what I was thinking, but I'm now thinking I can purchase another V6-IIs and mount it to my HVL43 to fire it as well. So, to fire both flashes...
  • One V6-IIs on camera; tx
  • One V6-IIs on the Sony HVL43 on rx
  • One RF60x on rx
  • Both on one channel; or control separate by using two different channel?
This should work? Or have I still lost my mind :-)

    Yes, if you want to also trigger your HVL43 as an off-camera flash, then you do need another V6 IIs unit. 

    All V6 IIs units and the RF60X have to run on the same channel, say channel 8 for example.  You can set your HVL43 and RF60X to group A and B respectively.

    Cheers and have fun!

    Thank you, Antonio!
    Yes... separate 'group'; same channel; different groups to control each separately.
    I'll order today!

    Hello Antonio,
    This community interface won't late me post in the RF60X category.

    Was just updating some of my devices (V6iis) and thought I would do my RF60X as well.
    Plugged it in and ran the updater; got the message, "no device connected"
    I would also add that the instructions to update firmware is very difficult to find, and quite cryptic.
