I know, ideally, having one for the my mixer and one for the camera would be best to avoid drift, but for now I want to take care of timecode on my end and I can always re-jam it as often as needed. anyone tried this? any thoughts?
This will work fine. You won't have frame-accurate sync after a short while unless the SB3 continues to feed the 552's recorder, but you won't have frame accurate sync anyway unless the camera has a similar arrangement. You'll be close, within tweak range probably.
