Wireless flash triggering

Postby iposiniditos on Tue Jun 15, 2010 11:41 pm

Hello,

maybe a silly question, but i can't find what i need... :oops:

I have two profoto acuteb 600 generators link : http://www.profoto.com/products/profoto ... acuteb-600
those that doesn't have the built-in radio slaves and i want to be able to use them without the cable. I have seen this pocketwizard : http://www.pocketwizard.com/products/tr ... plus%20ii/ that seems to be very good but i don't know what accessory i need to put in my profotos and work with this transmitter.

thank you in advance and sorry for my english :oops: :oops:

you will need this 1/4" phone plug that goes into the acute battery pack(sync hole)

and the other end 1/8th jack that goes into the pocket wizard

Thank you wendell!

So, except from the cable i need two of them : http://www.pocketwizard.com/products/tr ... plus%20ii/ or one Plus II and something else that will be mounted (with the cable) to the acuteB generator?

thanks again!
