I did a search, but given how odd this seems, none of the search terms I used brought up anything that seemed relevant, except for one where Tech Support mentions/asks if the user checked if the slave eye was "locking out". I think I have that problem, but want to verify. I picked up a set of used ABs, (two 800s, one 400). Was using the 400 as a hairlight, with a pocket wizard PlusIII attached. We noticed that flash going off when we trigger other flashes for the 4 photobooths we had set. We checked connections, it still did it. We swapped the entire PW and cord, and still did it. Thus, it *seems* that the slave eye isn't "locking out." Does this sound correct? Is so, what's the remedy...anything I can do, or does it need to be sent it and, if so, what's the cost for that. Thank you for your time. TimW Phoenix, AZ |

It will need to come in if it is not locking out. Just to ensure it is not a weird PocketWizard problem, leave the cord plugged in, but disconnect the PocketWizard. Make sure the cord is fully inserted (so you cannot see any silver from the plug). Then fire a flash behind the suspect light and see if the light fires. If so, there is a problem in the sync/slave lock out, which will require the light to come in. You can visit this page for information regarding having the light repaired if needed: http://www.paulcbuff.com/repair.php |
