Richard, you wrote at the same time I did, so I didnīt read your message. As I explained earlier, for some other reasons I did not have much time to try out the whole system properly and I started where I had left the other day and that was with the full automatic mode in both channel A for the AB 1600- TT5/AC9 and B for the SB-800. C I left in the OFF position.
Whenever I have more time I will try in full manual and using 1 background with the octabox and the AB 1600 with a TT5/AC9, one with an SB-900, TT5 and a fill/hair light with the AB-400 TT5/AC9 that I should get tomorrow. Will try everything out, but right now that is how it was set.
And Richard, I will try the full manual, setting first the main light, in this case the beauty dish and then adjust the rest normally 1 stop lower and finally adjust them to taste. With the flash meter I have use problem and it is that being a Sekonic L-358, with the remote triggering module, Since it doesn\'t work in the CTL (ControlTheLight), I have to set each TT5 to channel 2 where I have set the triggering mode to normal radio, but that means I have to go around to each unit and set them up one by one.... And till I get the operation done on my ankle there is no way I can do that. For the time being I fire them one by one switching the other two on the AC3 to OFF, starting from the main light in the zero or +1 position, see how it looks and do the final adjutments to the f/ setting. the other two will have to be set lower in most cases.
But one thing is clear, I\'m just starting to get to know the AB\'s PW combo and what I see so far is good.
Thanks for your kind help.
