Hi All first post.

I got my AB800's yesterday and was playing in the studio trying to learn them but I could not get them to fire with a wireless remote trigger. Optical was fine as was pc sync however nothing with a wireless remote.

I use Trigmaster Plus by aputure remotes and have found them wonderful for all my other equipment but they wont fire the bee's. Is there something I am missing? I connected them thru the jack port on the back (pc sync). They run 2.4g just like pw's etc.

Any ideas?

Are the cords you are using stereo or mono (Stereo has 3 pieces of metal and 2 plastic insulator bands. Mono has 2 metal pieces and 1 plastic band)? It should be mono, as stereo cords may not pin out correctly. Did you get the cord from Radio Shack by chance?

They are stereo. Came with the triggers. No radio shack in Australia :)

I will look for some mono ones and let you know.

Remotes that support AF for camera triggering cannot use a stereo cord.
