I'm a total newbie when it comes to studio lighting. I just bought my first lighting kit... a Hensel Porty Premium Plus with two strobe heads. It came with a wireless hot shoe mounted slave transmitter.

What I want to know is if I can use my 580EX II with my Porty system? Would I have to use a Pocket Wizard to fire the porty heads and the 580 all at once? Or is this not possible?

Thanks,
Christal.
