I don't mean to nitpick & this is really more for your own personal information so you can delete this after you read it if you'd like. Pocket Wizard's aren't made by "the Pocket Wizard company" :) Their made by a company called LPA Design which is an American company, based in Vermont I believe. Just, you know.... an FYI thing...

There is a cable included for connecting your pocket wizard to a strobe. The 1/8" mono plug (or headphone plug, it's the same thing, different words) to PC cable comes in the box. I own 6.

Yes, I too had to go to Radio Shack to get the cable. The fact that Pocket Wizard gets over $200.00 for a piece of plastic with a simple transceiver inside, and yet, they can't include a $3.00 cable so you can hook the unit up to a strobe right out of the box is disappointing.

You can get the cable at Radio Shack for like $3.00, or buy the pocket wizard brand for like $20.00 haha. I bought about 6 of those cables.

Same here. The cable I received has a small (camera sych end) and a male end for the pocket wizard. No way to attach the pocket wizard directly to an Alien bee strobe without an adapter. I wish Pocket Wizard had explained this or included it with the unit.

You sure about the inclusion of a headphone jack in the PW purchase? All I got was a connector between the camera's PC port and the PW...

Awesome tutorial. I sort of knew how it worked together by reading about it, but it's so much better (and easier to understand) to actually see it step by step. Thanks for the video.

Mark, this video was tremendously educational. You have a talent for teaching; everything was extremely clear.
