Hi everyone,
So i decided to start doing some off camera flash photography and i picked up 3 pocket wizzard plusX for my 2 430ex ii only to realize im a hasty dumb*** who didnt check that they are compatible. So i just wanted to know what would be the best solution
1. Refund the pocket wizzards and get the canon flash trigger
2. Get an adapter to make them compatible (if such a thing exsists)
3. Another option that i didnt know/think about

One last thing is that in a perfect world i would rather have a radio trigger than an IR trigger but not if its unreliable or just to much headache to connect and control

Any input would be greatly appreciated and the 7 days count has began until i cannot refund anymore

P.S sorry for any typos im writting this on my phone...
Thanks

Option one. Refund the pocket wizzards and get a couple Yongnuo 622c units and a yn622 TX.

When you say "work", do you mean that the Manual output levels on the monolights can be controlled from the Odins?. Or do they just provide a sync signal like the YN622Cs?

I tried retiring, but gave it up - it's a dead end

Sync only on the Monolights via output cable from the recievers. Hotshoe for the Speedlights does sync, output levels, and ETTL if desired.
