Looking for product recommendations to be able to connect both a wireless shutter trigger for the Z7 and simultaneously a synced wireless trigger (mounted on hot shoe?) for a mono head such as a Godox or other-

First of all, do you intend to use TTL with the strobe? In that case you want a dedicated radio link for the flash and another for the shutter trigger.

Use a hotshoe-mounted flash controller made for the strobe you use and get a WR-R11b and WR-T10 set when they become available. If you want something cheaper, there are plenty of third-party wireless triggers that are compatible with the DC-2 socket.

 

If you won't be using TTL, pocket-wizards or a cactus system with a transmitter and two receivers, one for the camera and one for the strobe will work and be super-reliable.

I use PocketWizard and TTL is one of its many great features.

How well do they work with pacific rim TTL studio strobes with their often non-standard comms protocol for the 3.5 mm sync plug? If the strobes were from one of the major European or American brands, the PocketWizard would be a no-brainer.

Touché… I only thought of my Nikon flashes, sorry. :(
