I've searched and searched for information about whether or not the ABR800 is compatible with an XT and found a forum on another site I thought would be helpful... but it said that I'd have to purchase PocketWizard to get it functioning properly. Is this true or will the ABR800 work on my Canon Digital Rebel XT with no strings (or big chunks of money) attached?

Caveat - I don't have an ABR800 - but it says it comes with a 12" sync cord. You need a hotshoe to PC adapter is all. You will of course have to shoot in manual. There is not ETTL with the unit.

yes it is WITH A HOTSHOE TO PC adapter... i was so excited to open up and play with my abr800 but didnt know about the adapter... so i ran to a neighborhood photo store (like 10 miles away) and bought one for 12$. works wonders with the adapter
