Guide for using external flash system

This blog talks about Nikon CLS flash system but I think it is more or less apply to other system too. Quite useful & informative.

It is fun!

Too bad, at first, I think those TT5/PX system can remote control the flash unit as "MASTER", then the Flash can triggle few other Slave flash ... so I dont hv to buy few receivers ..  however, not the case ..

Seems like PX KO the TT1/TT5 at this time ..  and much easlier to use, (just not for sale in Canada) however, wait to see some new firmware from TT ...

Thanks for the info.  As for Catpiano.  The pocket wizard TT1 TTL stuffs have tons of problem with the Canon system.  I am sure it's better on the Nikon.  But either way, i have Canon, and I went with Radiopopper which works 100% reliable

I've been longing for Nikon TT1 TTL mini... PW told me it won't be launched by the end of summer.  I don't know there are so many problem with Canon system, really ?  what's the problem ? misfired ?

umm, I think my title is a bit misleading, the blog talks about external flash units on hot shoe not wireless lighting......sorry.

EL,

So, with PX, can u remote cotrol master flash (say 580EX2) and then the 580 triggle 430 etc??

I mean .. trans on the body, then receiver with 580, then 580 to remote control another 1 or 2 or 3 flash ..

So, dont need to buy few receivers ..

I know PX can control stroke, such as Alien Bee, and I read you can adjust the output from the transmitter??

thx .. ^_^
