Help w/Kodak Pro Back Plus and Pocket Wizard

->> I am trying to trigger a Pocket Wizard Plus with the Kodak Pro Back Plus on a Hasselblad 555. The system works fine with a D1X through the pc-sync. The Blad also works fine when hard wired. Any suggestions to make this thing work? Thanks

->> With the back on, the only place to sync to is on the back. The lens needs to be synced to the back and the PW is synced to the other port on the back. All the elements work seperately fine but in this combo, it won't trip the PW.

->> I actually just learned to solve this same problem last week. The solution is very simple, all you need is another PW cord, a sub-mini phone to miniphone cable. You can get it at b&h:

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&....

There is a voltage problem between the DCS back and the PW, and this solves it. This cord actually replaces the lens sync cord. The new PW cord goes into the sub-mini of the back, and into the mini of the PW. Then hook up your mini-to-lens sync cord from the PW and your all set,
I hope this made sense, feel free to contact me if you have any questions at all
