PocketWizard/remote trigger?

[Dave Shively]

I thought I posted this last night but I can but I can not find it.
So I well try again. I have two new PocketWizards (thanks to the rebate) and I want to trigger my 580 romotely but I seem to be missing something. I have no way to connect the PW to the 580 flash. What exactly to I need to make this work? Thanks, Dave

If the flash doesn't have a sync cord you will need to get an adapter that does. Here is one at Flash Zebra that should work:

or this:

I need to order one of these for my Sigma 500 DG Super to work with my remote triggers as well...

You need a hotshoe adapter like this:

Or a hotshoe to miniphone plug cable like this:

A better and more reliable method is to order the replacement foot for the 580EX.. It has a sub-mini plug installed (way better than a pc plug) http://flashzebra.com/canon580ex_footassembly.shtml

If your existing foot is in perfect shape you can send it in for a $12 core refund

Thanks, I didn't know there was a rebate on them, and almost got 2 of them on ebay for $350.
