Yes
Has anyone got one of these? I have just purchased one second hand. Just wondering will the RT-32 module trigger catcus wireless triggers or is it just for pocket wizards?

Didnt get a manual so any help is much appreciated. Have just printed out the online manual and will have a read through my break i think.

I've got this one :)
I think the PW module RT-32 is for triggering pocketwizards only, not the cactus wireless triggers. I think the wireless flash metering (where it waits for the flash) works well enough :)
 
The RT-32 module is for triggering PWs, but I'm sure I saw something on srobist where there was a mod to get it to trigger the cactus triggers...

Oh right what mode is that on? Not really had a good enough play with it yet.

I had a very quick go earlier and when i dialled in the settings to the camera, it was a little dark the camera was reading about -2 on the meter. Why would this be?
 
Sorry when i set the mode on the meter to shutter mode on ambient light, do i need to be in shutter priority mode and dial in the shutter speed and let the camera work out the aperture.
Or do i use manual mode on camera and dial in both the shutter and aperture?

You hold the mode button down and turn the dial to switch between the modes. I think a lightning bolt appears for the wireless flash mode (without the C), so you press the button, it waits for a flash and tells you the reading.

Manual mode on the camera and dial in the shutter speed and aperture.
I think that if you use any of the semi-auto modes, you still probably could adjust the shutter speed and aperture to match the meter reading, but it's easier just to dial it straight in when in manual mode. :)
 
For an incident reading to i just stand and hold the meter in front of the subject and point the lumisphere towards the camera or where i would be taking the picture?
Do i point it vertically or horizontally?

Many Thanks
