I will use them with Canon EOS 1D or Mark II. Which cable I need? Is CM-N3-P Pre-Trigger Motor Cord - Canon 3 Pin Connector to Miniphone - 3' OK??

You will need something to connect the receiver to the flash but exactly what will depend on the flash you use and how you connect to it. My PWs came with standard PC socket cables. The only one I had to buy was to remotely trigger a camera using the PWs (very, very expensive).

Otherwise you need an 1/8 inch to PC for standard flashes or whatever connector your strobes use.

My questions is: should I buy a motor cord or a pre-trigger motor cord? Fri, 18 Jan 2008 08:54:35 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/pocket-wizard#109219 You want the pre-trigger cord. That keeps the camera "awake" constantly as if your finger is on the shutter button so that you don't loose shots by having to wake it.
