Hi Everyone,

 

This should answer some questions about the type of lights and triggers that we have been using in the studio events and on location....

 

To trigger the studio lights you will need to either have a Pocket Wizard or a PT-04 GY

 

The Profotos studio lights that we use for the events have built in Pocket Wizard receivers and in addition we attached the PT-04 GY receivers to trigger the lights.

 

Pocket Wizards and PT-04 GY do not operate on the same frequency....but they do trigger the Profoto studio lights as well as out Vivitar 2600D with out interference....

 

The price for a Pocket Wizard Pluss II is $169.00 each or you can rent one from George's Camera in North Park or Calumet Photo in North County

 

The price for a PT-04 GY starts at $19.99 for the pair

 

I recommend to buy the PT-04 GY . They are less expensive than the Pocket Wizard and can be use as a off camera flash system....They are a eBay item and take about a 2 to 3 weeks to arrive by mail....

 

One trigger and one receiver ($24.50) from Cowboystudio in the US

 

One trigger and two receiver ($21.62) from China

 

If you are going to set up multiple light set ups and I recoment that you should, buy two sets of one trigger and two receiver.

 

You might consider buying more receivers

One trigger and four receiver ($34.92)

 

Additional hardware
