Hello David, I used to do that with AF360FGZ's for studio work or on a bracket. In studio, I found they didn't have enough power to deliver the DOF that I needed. On a bracket, it worked but I found that the ambient light and subject/background reflectivity could have some impact on the reliability of the main flash firing. I replaced the 360's with Alien Bees studio lights, which got rid of one problem and now just use a wired approach for the flash bracket so the popup flash has become a non-issue to me. And I no longer have problems with the popup flash or wireless connection.
