I've got Pocketwizard Plus ii's now but I'm looking to get something that I don't have to wrestle with lowering my boom and adjusting the power on my strobes manually every time I don't get the lighting ratio right straight off the bat. 4x5 Speed Graphic Pacemaker | Pentax 67 w/ 105mm ƒ/2.4 | Mamiya Universal w/ Pola back | Polaroid SX-70 | Yashica-Mat 124 | Ricoh Diacord L | Canon AE-1 | Minolta XG-M | gripped 5d mkiii |17-35 ƒ/2.8 | 35L | 50L | 85L ii | 135L | 70-200 ƒ/2.8L IS | Alienbee Strobes | RadioPopper JrX Studio Remotes | Nikon Speedlites

Feb 25, 2010 01:12 | #3 I'm using a half a dozen of the old Nikon SB flashes. I know that I'll have to make a custom TTL cord in order for them to work with the RadioPoppers. I'm just wondering if that's my cheapest option. What I do like about them is the fact that you can use them w/ studio strobes too and you can mix and match and use more than one kind of strobe at the same time. 4x5 Speed Graphic Pacemaker | Pentax 67 w/ 105mm ƒ/2.4 | Mamiya Universal w/ Pola back | Polaroid SX-70 | Yashica-Mat 124 | Ricoh Diacord L | Canon AE-1 | Minolta XG-M | gripped 5d mkiii |17-35 ƒ/2.8 | 35L | 50L | 85L ii | 135L | 70-200 ƒ/2.8L IS | Alienbee Strobes | RadioPopper JrX Studio Remotes | Nikon Speedlites

Feb 25, 2010 01:16 | #5 Well I am looking to upgrade to some studio strobes soon, possibly some bees. What would you use in that situation? 4x5 Speed Graphic Pacemaker | Pentax 67 w/ 105mm ƒ/2.4 | Mamiya Universal w/ Pola back | Polaroid SX-70 | Yashica-Mat 124 | Ricoh Diacord L | Canon AE-1 | Minolta XG-M | gripped 5d mkiii |17-35 ƒ/2.8 | 35L | 50L | 85L ii | 135L | 70-200 ƒ/2.8L IS | Alienbee Strobes | RadioPopper JrX Studio Remotes | Nikon Speedlites

Feb 25, 2010 01:23 | #7 They're no wireless solution for this? I mean I know the RadioPoppers work to control the power remotely on pretty much any kind of studio strobe including AB's but are there any other options? 4x5 Speed Graphic Pacemaker | Pentax 67 w/ 105mm ƒ/2.4 | Mamiya Universal w/ Pola back | Polaroid SX-70 | Yashica-Mat 124 | Ricoh Diacord L | Canon AE-1 | Minolta XG-M | gripped 5d mkiii |17-35 ƒ/2.8 | 35L | 50L | 85L ii | 135L | 70-200 ƒ/2.8L IS | Alienbee Strobes | RadioPopper JrX Studio Remotes | Nikon Speedlites
