Having an issue. Picked up a used B800..everything appear to work. The "Test Flash" button works fine, as does the Model Lamp Mode. However, when I connect my Pocket Wizard Plus II to the B800 via a 1/8" mono male to 1/8" mono male (thank you Radio Shack), the flash doesn't work when I click on the "Test" button of my Pocket Wizard. The flash does illuminate when I slide the mono plug into the B800, but that's it. Pocket Wizard is fine (I trigger my speedlights with it). Anyone have any ideas? |

You either have an attenuated cord or a stereo cord. You need a non-attenuated mono cord. We sell them in 24" length (CSSC) or Radio Shack may have one, but they are typically 6' long. Any that are made for photography should work, so if you get one from a photo store, you should be OK. |

Thx TS! You were right on the mark, as I had tried both the stereo cable and ther annuated cable. This Radio Shack cable works fine: Shielded 6-ft (1.82M) Audio Cable (1/8" (3.5mm) Mono Male to 1/8" (3.5mm) Mono Male) - Part number 42-2420. Thanks again TS! |
