a flash and pocketwizard?

<p>HOW DO I SET A CANON FLASH AND A POCKET WIZARD ONTO MY CANON 50D?</p>

<p>You will need <em>two</em> of those devices. One PW (which will act as a transmitter) slips into the hot shoe on the camera, and the other unit (which will act as a receiver) is connected to your flash. <br /><br />Your camera will need to operate at a shutter speed at or below its flash sync speed (usually, 1/200 or so, to be safe). <br /><br />It's hard to get more specific if you don't mention what sort of flash equipment you're using, or how you will be using the whole rig. Are you looking to preserve TTL functionality, or is this for studio strobes?</p>

<p>THX BUT I DIDNT EXPLAIN IT VERY CLEARLY.... i got 4 pocket wizards and quiet a few flashes but my question is that im doing some work and its a mixture between off camera flash and on camera flash, so i want to mount my canon flash on top of my camera, but also mount a pocket wizard to my camera also so i can fire off other off camera flashes....if that makes sense to anyone..?</p>

<p>I belive the 50D has a PC sync connector. You just need to run a cable from that PC connector to the camera connector on the PW. You'll have to decide how you want to physically attach the PW to your rig, if you don't want to use a long PC cord and keep the PW on your belt, etc. I've seen some people simply use long velcro strips to lash it the on-camera flash.</p>

<p>Maybe one of these to hold the PW: http://www.adorama.com/MZ54036.html<br /> or one of these to hold both http://www.themorriscompany.com/Tripods/vert_horiz_flip.html<br /> And maybe one of these to retain E-TTL control with the Canon flash if you put it on a bracket: http://shop.usa.canon.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10051_10051_169384_-1<br /> And one of these if the one that comes with your PW doesn't reach: http://www.pocketwizard.com/products/cable_accessory/synccables/</p>

<p>Or make/adapt your own bracket and use something like two of these: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/52772-REG/Stroboframe_300_SHO_Flash_Mount_Adapter_.html<br /> and one of these: http://www.adorama.com/RY037302.html</p>
