Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what cable do I need to connect a Pocket Wizard to an Alien Bee 800? Both the AB and the PW have what appear to be Mini plug connections. Do i just use a mini plug cable with the male on both sides?

Thanks in advance!

You need a cable that has a mini-phone jack on both ends. You can find one of those in any Radio Shack, Wal-mart, K-mart, etc. stores. It's just a plain audio patching cable and either stereo or mono will work.

You need a cord with a miniphone plug on one end, and miniphone plug on the other end. In a length that suits your particular needs.

Enjoy! Lon

Make sure you get plugs with only two connections (usually sold for Mono as opposed to Stereo) and not three connections, just to be on the safe side.

Radio Shack is MUCH more likely to have what you need rather than the common retail outlets such as Wal-Mart.

Oops! Sorry. I meant to say plug instead of jack. Thanks for the correction, Lon.
