Paul C. Buff, Inc. Technical Forum

I recently set up to portrait areas back to back, using one backdrop. On one side I had two D800's and the other side had two B1600's. I was using pocket wizards on both sides on different channels, but form some reason, one side would trip when the other side was triggered. I know the PW's were on separate channels, and chalked it up to the slave on two of the units triggering, even though a PW was plugged into the sync connection.
Any help here?

Having the PWs plugged into the sync jack should disable the slaves . . . weird it would happen with two units. You might go over the problem with Tech Support.

to double check the slave eye lock out, use one flash at a time, and insert a sync cord into the jack (you can leave the other end loose). fire another flash, speed lite, bee, etc., and see if the tested flash fires. If so, please contact us for assistance. If not, then it could be a PW setting.
