Is anyone having triggering issues when using the L-478-DR light meter with the MC-2 receivers?

I've updated the firmware on everything but the triggering is not consistent. I'll get two positive triggers then no trigger.

Unfortunately, this is likely rooted in the flashmeter radio. We do not have any information on this.

I did a shoot a few weeks ago with the L-478DR and two Einsteins with PowerMC2's. Worked flawlessly.

The only thing that you have to keep in mind is that you have to decide *where* you want to control the flash power from (the PocketWizard transmitter on your camera *OR* the L-478DR). You can't have two things controlling the flash power at the same time. I wanted the meter to control the power (with the nifty on-screen sliders) so I had to go into the PocketWizard Utility and set "No Change (Trigger Only)" in the SPEEDLIGHT section on my transmitting TT5.

Lots of L-478DR information in the PocketWizard wiki: http://wiki.pocketwizard.com/index.php? ... ic_L-478DR
