I have a Metz system (60CT) and I wonder if I can use more than 1 head with the dryfit. It has 2 plugs built in to it, so I suppose I can. But Do I lose full-GN shooting with 2 60's? Or half as many shots per charge?

I am working towards a 4-head system and would like to be able to get away with 2 dryfits + extra batteries for portability, but NOT at the expense of power (GN loss). I want the extra heads to blow-out backdrops and get rid of wall shadows for my portraits (i.e., typical Avedon stuff).

Does anyone know what happens when you plug 2 60CTs into 1 dryfit?

hi, shawn! there is a special head, called mecatwin 60-40. check out: www.metz.de. excuse my bad english, georg

sorry, shawn! www.metz.de contains no informations about the mecatwin. if you connect the 60CT and an mecatwin, the GN will be the same, but you get only the half of shots per charge. georg

Yep. The site's got nothing on the mecatwin. I just found a mecatwin with no dryfit for under $150Cdn. I'm gonna phone the store and get them to put it aside for me. Thanks a lot georg. shawn

Are there any actually useful sites for Metz products? Their own site, quite frankly, blows...though they did seem to just add a 'get product information' page, which might turn out to be cool, if only snail-mail efficient...and probably in terrible English...
