Pocket wizards

<p>Hi all<br>

Im trying to set up a small portrait studio, with two speedlites 430EX111-RT and a Yongnuo yn568ex 11 as all these can be controlled wirelessly what benefits would i get from buying a set of pocket wizards? I also do wedding photography so the flashes would have a dual use.<br>

Thanks</p>

"..what benefits would I get from buying a set of

Almost none compared to a cheaper set of radio

triggers like YN RF603s or 622s. Radio triggers in general

have greater range and reliability than optical (infra red) triggering. I believe the speedlights you mention are already radio linked. So no advantage in using separate triggers

 

However, unless you buy e-ttl compatible triggers, you'll lose TTL metering and the ability to set power, etc remotely from the camera by using added triggers.
