|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Remote shooting Paul Goodman, Assistant Georgetown | ky | USA | Posted: 9:56 AM on 02.19.11 ->> Shooting remotely- behind backboard I know remote shooting has been covered, I just can not find the resolution in my issue! I am shooting Nikon D700 on the floor and D300 Behind the backboard, using Pocket wizards to trigger strobes and D300. everything works fine as far as everything firing, the issue I am having is that the D300 is shooting just late enough to miss the Strobes. If I take out the D700 and test fire the D300 it works perfectly.. Kind of at a loss, anyone else experience issues like this and what was the resolution? Thanks in advance.

Are you trying to sync both cameras to one set of lights? Try this article: http://www.sportsshooter.com/news/1709  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Your handheld has to be part of the remote system in order to make it work. -Jon  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I am using 2 strobes and a total of 4 Pocket wizards II, 2 for the strobes and one for each camera. I can not find where on Nikon to take a look at the Lag time. I dont think you can manually set the delay on the pocket wizards. it is just a little confusing! everything fires just the Glass camera is Missing the strobe!! If I can figure this out I will be Golden! LOL  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Laging is done through the PW MultiMax units. -J  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Page 8 of the Plus II manual explains "relay mode" which is what you'll need to use.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The cameras in the system have to be lagged in order for them ALL (more than one and up to as many as you have) to sync with the strobes. The receiver on the strobes has to be delayed for the system to work. You can't delay a PW Plus II. -Jon  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?

On to plan B! lol I knew I could count on you guys!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

So if I want to sync both cameras and strobes I need all new radios?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The "floor" cameras trigger the strobes with a PWII set to channel 2. Behind the rim remote camera is set to channel 1 and triggered with a separate hand held pw set to channel 1.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
