I've been looking at this wireless remote:
Godox TR-C1 Wireless Timer Remote Control TR-C1 B&H Photo Video (bhphotovideo.com)
with the intention of using it for longer range remote camera work (family portraits in front of waterfalls, etc) where the canon connect app is unreliable due to the range.
Ideally I'd also be able to use the receiver end of the wireless remote as a wireless slave for two-camera shooting situations, either by taking a synch output from the primary camera and running it to the sync port on the transmitter,
According to the user manual on your B&H link the port on the TR-TX (TX is radio speak for transmitter) is an output only. It is unlikely the TR-TX will do anything if you feed that port a flash sync signal from your primary camera.
or by putting my godox X-pro on the hotshoe of the primary camera.
There is no mention in the user manual of using any Godox flash trigger to activate the TR-RX receiver (RX is radio speak for receiver). I would expect the TR-C1 was designed with a unique protocol specifically to avoid any unintentional responses from nearby Godox flash gear.
What
would (I was expecting this to work but it doesn't, see my EDIT below)
work with your XPro flash TX on the primary camera would be a $25
Flashpoint SPT (Single-Pin Transceiver) on the 2nd camera. The SPT will function as a remote shutter receiver when connected with the proper cable to that camera's remote shutter port. It will also function as a manual flash (no TTL/HSS) TX or RX.
Anyone have a godox TR and maybe an X-pro wireless trigger and can tell me if you can get these to work like pocketwizards?
4/13/24 EDIT
I tested the setup described above and found with the SPT the only action that will trip the shutter on the 2nd camera is pressing the test button on its SPT or another SPT. Neither my XProII, XT2, or another SPT when in the hot-shoe of camera one would trip the shutter of camera 2 when camera one fired. Also the SPT remote shutter operation ignores any Group settings on both the TX and RX units.
It appears the SPT's remote shutter function has the same restriction as my older YN RF-603II triggers. You are required to physically push their test button to make it work. Because of this I had made a DIY adapter to connect the shutter cord to the flash signal at the top hot-shoe of the RX. I just tried this adapter on the SPT and now the two cameras are chained together firing almost simultaneously. I was expecting not to need the adapter with the SPTs.
I remember there was some issue with connecting the 3 conductors of the shutter cable to the 2 conductor flash sync signal. That should be documented somewhere in my flash notes and needs to be reviewed to determine if a simple male 3.5mm plug to 2.5mm jack
adapter like this is the correct way to connect a remote shutter cable into the SPT's 3.5mm sync port.
End EDIT
I am not familiar with the Pocketwizard but I did purchase a pair of the Flashpoint SPTs as part of my recent upgrade to Godox flash gear.
You do understand that there will be a slight delay in the firing of the 2nd camera when it is triggered by the flash sync signal from the 1st camera. If this is an issue you need to have an RX attached to each camera and trigger them both from a hand-held TX. I had to do this when I needed the 2nd camera to capture the flash fired by the 1st. In this case YN RF-603II manual flash triggers were used as radio remote shutter triggering. I expect to continue to use these YN units for general radio remote shutter use as they are somewhat smaller with their AAA batteries compared to the SPTs with AA cells.
