Ratios with new Pocketwizards

Hey all, I haven't seen this topic here yet..sorry if it's been covered.

I've found that ratios ARE available when using multiple pocketwizards.
You can do it by using the flash exposure compensation on the individual flash.
I've taken 3 photos (I think I can only post two though) that have full power on both,
then -1 2/3 flash, then another with -3 stops on the left flash only.
This might not be as handy as the "on camera" solution that canon offers, or the new PW gizmo
that will be released soon, but if you don't mind the short walk to the flash itself, you
can adjust the ratios to better suit your needs.
580ex2 on the left and 430ex2 on the right were used.
Hope this is useful.

I am going to have to try this, I just checked and my 430exll and 430ex has compensation adj. I was trying to think of a way to accomplish this a few months back. Thanks for the info.

I believe it's an option that only arrived with the latest firmware . . . update your firmware if you haven't already.

It works like a charm, awesome catch. Thanks for the post. I did the new upgrade a week or so ago, read the new fixes and did not pick up on this.
(edit) these units are getting better with every upgrade. More than what I expected when they first came out.

Hi, I think I noticed that you had the antenna on both units in the closed position. Just another thing to remember before shooting. And thanks for pointing out the ratio option.

What gizmo is that?

I rarely put the antenna up...or more accurately, I usually forget to put it up.
Good catch though. I should get in the habit.

I guess I didn't even know it was part of the upgrade...
