p.1 #1 · what do I need to build a monopod light stand?
I have for the most part worked with natural light and am now wanting to play with some off-camera flash.
I want to build a monopod light stand. I have the monopod and swivel head but I don't understand the pocket wizards. Can anyone send me a quick note as to the specific item I need to put on my camera's hot shoe to send the signal and which item I need on the light stand to receive?
Thanks! I want to make sure I buy the right items... Kris

What system? What flashes? What body? Nikon does most of this thru CLS, and Canon can do some as well... There are a dozen or more viable options for true wireless flash as well. PWs, Chinese stuff, and others can all get you there.

I use Canon cameras and simply want to create a light stick by attaching two wireless flashes (I have Canon 430's) to my monopod with a flash bracket. I need to learn which pocket wizard system to get for my hot shoe to send the signal and for the monopod to receive the signal.
Thanks! I hope this is enough detail now. Let me know if I left anything out.

first decide if you want these off-camera flashes to be intelligent slaves and to use TTL metering (via the camera) or just dumb slaves and you manually set the power ratio and only need a trigger signal. Big difference and big difference in price for a setup.
Depending on the camera, it's possible that it can act as the master so you dont need much.
