PocketWizard Plus II

I got a set of PocketWizards recently and tested them out in the studio with fellow photographer Eboh. One PocketWizard was connected to the power pack. The second PocketWizard was attached to my camera via the x-sync socket as I don’t have a hot-shoe on the Pentax 67.

I  put a Radio Triggering Module in the back of my light meter so that I could trigger the strobe when I took a light reading. Simply select the digital transmitter mode on the light meter and confirm both PocketWizards and light meter are on the same channel.

Overall the PocketWizards work really well in the studio. They remove many of the wires making things easier and safer. Their popularity with studio photographers is such that many power packs come with PocketWizard receivers built in. They’re not cheap, but they are a quality product.
