Are you sure of that? My understanding is that a Sekonic meter with the built in PocketWizard module or one you add the module to will only work with PocketWizards. Have you tried or seen this work?

If you can connect the PW receiver, the Sekonic PW transmitter will trigger it. You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!

I use 2 Pocket Wizard Plus II's. One on the camera and one on one of my Hensel Integra 500's. I'm pretty sure the Porty is the same. My Sekonic L558r with PW works great with this system.

Thanks for the discussion guys. After more research (and a chat to BH Photo) it looks like I might swing toward the Profoto equip and add a pocket Wizard. Seems that Hensel will only work within it's own realm, so would have to add the pocket wizard (which means I'd have 2 wirless setups on one unit, a bit silly really).

Sounds like yours has another brand. So, in this case, no go. Yes, I have seen the PWs work with other brands. I am only aware of a few, not many.
