p.1 #1 · Got my PWIIs!


Just bought myself 2 Pocket Wizards and get my first chance to use them this Sunday doing a family shoot. But my question is not about those. Question is:

I have a Photoflex soft box, light stand and 580ex II. What do I need to connect it all together?

Martin.

Pocket wizards rock, but CyberSyncs's from Paulcbuff.com rock, on a HUGE budget difference. =o)

I just my set and they just are sweet.

Hey Martin, I am in Seattle too and learning how to work the off camera flash. I just got my CyberSync's and umbrellas a la Strobist. I am always happy to meet people who share the same passion. Do you want to team up to get/share experience? We can try new techniques and all that good stuff...two heads better than one, you know!?

Oops, forgot to answer the question. If I understand the question right, all you need is a PC cord that would connect your flash to the PW.

PW's comes with cord....

Connect your PW to your camera, mount flash on light stand, connect other PW to your 580.... select same channel on both PWs and select "Both" on both PW's and i think you good to go.... Oooo and i believe you know that your off camera 580 is going to be in manual mode .... hope i didn't missed anything..

cheers
