I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I was shooting a T&I job last weekend, two stations both with 1DX's Lumedyne strobes and PW plus X triggers. About 80% through the shoot the triggers go down on one station.... after trouble shooting, I thought possibly the hot shoe had somehow gone dead... We switched out the body, same thing.... Swapped the system out for a 600ex RT w/ ST-E3.. better but still some misfires. Went back to my station and boom...Same thing All the plus X's were blinking green batteries.... I ended up with an on camera flash to finish up my last 1/2 team.
Got home, everything worked as advertised.... We were about 3 miles from an airport. I remember back in my military days, whenever the POTUS flew in or an AWACS was around, electronics would do some weird stuff. I can recall garage doors opening etc. Moral of the story, always have a hard-wired backup...
