when I use flash to stack, the flash is stationary and mounted off camera. I'd be curious to know how you handle the increasing intensity of the light as it moves closer during the stack.
My main criticism of the R1C1 rig is the power source. There's probably a reason they chose to use CR123A
You made the assumption that I used the R-200s mounted on the front of the lens for stacking but I don't. They are mounted OFF camera on articulating arms & were triggered by the pop-up flash. Since I had problems with the camera overheating while using the pop-up flash in commander mode, I now use my SB-800 in commander mode to trigger the R-200s. I use the Watson rechargeable CR123A batteries in the R-200s & can get over 200 flashes @ 1/2 power & 300-400 flashes @ lower power settings.
