So I've got an issue that's driving me nuts.
Heres the setup:
Alienbees B800 connected to the Flex TT5 with the AC9 via Remote. Slave disabled.
On camera I have the TT1 on the 550d.

So, I turn the flash on, turn the Flex on, then the TT1, and lastly the 550. Calibration shot at 1/160. No flash expected.
After this, my settings are: ISO 100, F10, 1/200.
Fire the shot and no flash.
I test each piece of equipment, firstly the B800, test Flash, fires. Flex TT5, test, fires. TT1 test, fires.
550d is not firing.

Firmwares are up to date. Resets were done on the Pockerwizards.
Nothing seems to work.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated,

Thank you.

You look here for specific information for your camera.

Which mode did select on the camera?

On the AC9 I read that it does not work when in basic trigger mode.

550d is on manual mode of course.
Basic Trigger mode is off.

Of course. ;-)a

And did you check in menu one under flash control if the flash is enable?

Do you have or know someone who has a external flash to check if the camera is triggering the flash.

Yes the option is enabled for Flash.

I will try to get another flash, perhaps a speed light to test it through that.

What's weird is that it will not work with my other 550d body as well. Same settings.
