Need help with pocket wizards


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I use an alien bee as my main light and an sp 920 as fill. I hook up

the alien bee to my 20D with the included pc cord. The cord keeps

falling out and I have been getting more request to do the studio

type portraits. I want to get the pocket wizards to be wireless. My

question is: is there an adapter I need to go from the receiver to

the alien bee?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Rob

The Pocket Wizard transmitter will work in the flash shoe on you camera, or with an adapter cable (pc to 3.5mm mini-plug) to a PC port on your camera (I don't know if the 20D has a PC jack).

 

PW makes adapter cables for practically everything. The PW takes a 3.5mm mini-phone plug, and the other end can be mini or 1/4" phone, PC, H-plug, whatever.

 

In an studio situation (no party-flash-poppers), you can trigger one flash with the PW and the others with (cheaper or built-in) photoelectric sensors.
