pocket wizard plus 2 w/canon rebel

Posted: September 16, 2008 - 5:51pm

I'm just getting into working with multiple flashes. I'm wondering if i can use a pocket wizard 2 plus with a cannon digital rebel (the first one) Two Canon 580 ex 2 flashes and one canon 430 ex flash. I'm hoping that they will all work together. thanks, Sven

If the camera has an active hot shoe, you would need four Pocket Wizards ($800), one for the camera and one to trigger each flash. Exposure can only be set manually because Pocket Wizards do not support camera to flash metering. If you're going to use two flashes together for an extra stop or faster recycling time, you can use a Y cable from Paramount Cords or build one yourself:
