Group,
What is the best way to remotely fire my 5D? I have Pocket Wizzards for my flashes. Can they be used to trigger the camera?
Thanks,
Ted

Get the $10 eBay Adidt remote and a 1/4 miniplug to 1/8 miniplug male-male adapter. You plug the remote into the body, the switch has a miniplug port that you jack to the receiver. Done.


people will always try to stop you doing the right thing if it is unconventional
Full frame and some primes.

Yep, they all have the same remote plug.

Ted, I use PW's to fire remote cameras all the time. You will need a motor drive cable or what they call a pre trigger (this will keep camera in the awake mode) connected to PW and remote camera and use another PW to trigger by using the test button to fire remote. Here is the link PW cables http://www.pocketwizar​d.com/HTML/accessories​.asp (external link)

Hope that helps
