Pocket Wizard MULTI-MAX 1 Year, 10 Months ago Karma: 0
Hi all,
I just wanted to throw a quick question out there for any PW MULTI MAX users for experience, knowledge and expertise!
I shoot with a Canon 5D, 1D MK 2 and a Hasselblad 500 C/M, with an entourage of strobes, flashes and PW PLUS 2 units.
I just wanted to check that if i brought a PW MULTI to use on the cameras hot-shoe to trigger the strobes with PLUS 2 units attached, would i still have the capability of rear curtain sync, high speed flash syncs in fast mode etc... despite the PLUS 2 limitations? Or is the important factor the functions on the PW MULTI that is key?
Cheers for your answers and help in advance!

I am almost positive you can still use rear sync as long as the multimax is on the camera. Not too sure about high-speed sync though

The lower channels (1-16) on the MM have limited functionality, you can't do everything

However you can use delay mode (rear curtain) on those low ones, I'm not sure about fast mode, i'm not cannon.

The manual is online, and its actually quite readable
