Pocketwizard camera trigger
The Pocketwizard II+ model has a utility to allow each device to act as both transmitter and receiver. With a set of at least three wizards, this allows you to both trigger your camera remotely, and also to then trigger flashes in sync with your camera shutter.
To do this you need a cord that attaches the on-camera wizard to the camera trigger port, completing the afferent loop of the circuit. For most Canon cameras this is the N3 connector port. Shown here is my homemade pretrigger cable, made from an old RS80-N3 remote release and a few Radioshack parts.
So, one PW is in your hand, away from the camera (not shown). The second is on the hotshoe, with the above cord attaching the second PW to the N3 port. The third PW (not shown) is attached to your remote flash, set at one channel higher than the other two.
