Multiple sf c1 to one sf 60 or Mg10

Does anybody know a way to trigger the same set of sf 60 and mg 10 with multiple sf c1? I recently picked up another sf c1 in Hopes of not having to constantly move the sf c1 from one camera to another. Seems to only let me link one controller at a time. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you !

That may be intentional so that different photographers using the same kit don’t interfere with each other.

That could’ve been solved easily by switching channels don’t you think?

I don’t think it is possible. I have tried it in the past and was unsuccessful. Usually it is not possible with most brands. 
newer generation Godox triggers you can do that. You can have 2 photographs in the same channel. Obviously godox is not compatible for TTL flash with Leica cameras.

I can confirm that what @Photoworks says is accurate. I have a Godox system with X-Pro triggers for Nikon and Fuji.  I can use the Nikon on my Leicas and Fuji on my Hasselblad V (with PC cable), each with their own group/power settings.  So far I’ve not run into any major issues, unless you count lack of TTL support (which doesn’t bother me - I’d rather have full control for the look I want).

I’m surprised to find that out. I was hoping I’ll have similar capabilities with my cactus system. Recently just added the mg10. Not really worried about ttl but more after HSS. Guess I’ll just have to live with moving one controller to the other. Thank you.

The Nissin controllers are a bit unusual in that they *pair* a controller and flash together, rather than do waht everyone else does, which is rely on controller channels.

Leicas stubborn refusal to work with companies like Godox and ProPhoto is one of their biggest weaknesses and limitations. Personally it's never been an issue for me as I use other brands for most of my studio work (I like leaf shutters) and the Nissin/Leica flashes are fine for TTL but I do understand the frustration of shooters who need to utilise the HSS tech and can't do so because Leica insist on monetising the flash protocol.
