How I get by with only 3 Pocket Wizards
I currently have 2 flash guns (guess they call them speedlights?), Nikon SB-600 and SB-800, an Alien Bees ABR800 ringflash and two Alien Bees B800 monolights but only 3 Pocket Wizards. What’s a fellow to do? After configuring, reconfiguring, plotting various ways to rig wires and splitters I remembered that Alien Bees monolights can be triggered by light from a flash. Eureka! I no longer needed to contemplate dropping another $170 for another Pocket Wizard, which are great but -not cheap-. Below is a diagram of a setup I play on experimenting more with. The gell’d SB-800 in the back is optional depending on the look required.
