More info | Mar 03, 2008 00:17 | #1 I currently use 2x Pocket Wizard Plus IIs but now these Radio Poppers will be out soon im seriously considering them. I need another receiver as i have bought a second light so am thinking should i go for another Pocket Wizard or sell my current two and buy an STE2 then pick up some Radio Poppers when they are released.

Get a a good flash meter (like a Sekonic L-358) and forget about E-TTL. It will probably be a while before the Radio Poppers start getting real world reviews, but who knows... There was a real world review from the guys at Tri-Coast photography, they have been using them at workshops. Apparently they are very impressive. Michael

Yes there is one from tricoast and they liked them but not riggered use or anything like the PWs have. Might get the Poppers at the end of the year or so once they are proven. Angus

My village called. I was told that they missed me.

My latest thought is to get another PW Plus II and buy a Michael Bass 15ft ETTL Cord for close range ETTL, Keep the PWs untill the Radio Poppers are well advanced and tested, rather then loosing on PWs keep them to trigger studio lights or remote cameras. Then buy 3 Radio Poppers once they are well advanced. Does that line of though sound rational or stupid? I doubt the introduction of Radio Poppers will drive the cost of PW down. They have different functions, and PW will remain the standard IMO. Light, composition, shooting technique matter to the end quality most. -Pekka
