Wireless Strobes

[SoulfulRecover]

Hope this is the right section of the forum to post this:

The pw-pc cable I have to trigger my strobe is way too short to be of any use so I took two of them (had both laying around) and tried making a pc-pc cord to trigger my wireless transmitter. It did not work. Am I insane for thinking this should have worked?

white to white, red to, well, the other wasn't colored but I would assume it would be the same as the red. Any thoughts? If I press the button on the transmitter it fires, when I tried the cord running from the shutter to the strobe head, it fired. It all worked independently of each other. :o

That's strange. I use a pc to 1/8" cable from Copal shutters into a Pocket wizard to trigger strobes. It works fine.

well I figured it out. In my morning rush while messing with this, I never noticed the pw plug in, in the side of the trigger. So running a pc-pw cord which works great. Never noticed the plug in :rolleyes:

That's good news.
