Hey all, I've been kind of a lurker on the forums and just picked up some pocket wizards that were delivered today - 2 flex TT5s and a TT1. I'm still stuck at work so haven't had the chance to play with them too much.
Aside from getting the flash off camera, I was hoping to set these up to remotely trigger my camera. Ideally, a TT5 on the camera, a TT5 with the off camera flash, and the TT1 for use as the remote trigger. I have a t2i and believe i need a pre-release cable such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Pre-Trigger-Cameras-Shutter-PocketWizard/dp/B004FL95SI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=13037 53361&sr=1-3
I was hoping someone had experience with this. If they're all on the same channel, i'm unsure if the camera will trigger fast enough to catch the shot. I read on one sight that you would need 2 PWs on the camera, 1 on 1 channel for the shutter release and 1 on another channel for the flash...i hope this isn't the case! I also wonder if the TT5 is smart enough to use 2 channels, one for the flash and one for the shutter release. If anyone has any experience or links to sites explaining this in deatil, i'd really appreciate it!
Thanks--kurt
