I am not sure why you would want to try this (cant hold both flashes and the camera or remote?), but if you want multiple flashes, the hot shoe cord is pretty short. However, the technology you should consider is A wireless or slave trigger. This is a feature of the flash unit, and it's a system that fires the flash whenever another flash goes off. You place the flash on a stand and put the stand wherever you like - there are no wires connecting the camera to the flash Set the flash to slave mode Pop up the built-in flash on your camera and take a photo The minute the slave trigger detects the light from your built-in flash, it fires the flash sitting on the stand. Something to look into. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I suggest get a radio trigger system that will allow you to fire two or more off-camera flashes. Then, get brackets (with cold shoe) mounted on portable light stands or cold shoe on clamps depending on what you're shooting. Some cameras have built-in infrared triggering systems that can fire multiple slaves off-camera, in which case, you don't really need a hot shoe cable. All you'll need is a manual flash that has a slave mode. Some flashes can only be triggered with a PC sync cord and others have both options. There are pros and cons. For example, infrared trigger systems require line of sight. On a sunny day, bright reflections can actually throw-off the infrared trigger. This is where a radio trigger can be advantageous. However, the issue you will be concerned of is battery power.
