Hello everyone,

I am curious if I can trigger a flash using high speed sync with two flex tt5s? I have been searching all over the internet having no luck. I am using a D3 with a Nikon SB-700 and two Pocketwizard flex tt5s. I can use them on basic trigger mode but anything other then that will no fire.

Thanks,
Michael

Yeah, that's pretty much what they're made for! The default settings should automatically switch to HSS once you exceed X-sync speed. Have you changed any settings with the PW utility? You have the SB-700 set on ttl right?

Ok so I checked to see if any settings were changed and just to be safe I reset both of them and it worked! Thank you for that suggestion. Another question would be can I do high speed sync in manual mode so I can adjust the power of the flash manually?

Just remember that there is a sequence that you need to follow when turning everything on. When I started, I didnt follow the sequence and I was about ready to ditch the whole thing before I remembered what I was doing wrong.
