PocketWizard PC-1 Miniphone to PC Cable - Straight - 12"
This is a Pocket Wizard PC-1 12" PC to Miniphone Cable.
Although the Pocket Wizard system allows you to fire your strobe from your camera without a wire between the two, the receiver still needs a wire connection to your power pack or monolight.

Used to connect the Pocket Wizards to Canon flashes like the 550EX/580Ex's. Nothing else exists that I know of that can be used to help trip off camera flash units at a higher than 1/250 sync speed - espec. when you already own Pocket Wizards.

Didn't work well on Sekonic Meter
Purchased with the intent of triggering a non-PW radio transmitter from a Sekonic Meter. The PC connection was quite loose on the meter and would not stay connected. [...]

FROM THE CAMERA TO THE FLASH.

For stobists who want to connect flash to your pocket wizard for off camera lighting.
These cables always go missing so before you turn up to an important shoot... Check and double check you have this all important cable.

Comments about PocketWizard PC-1 Miniphone to PC Cable:
I lost the cable that my PocketWizard came with. I bought three new cables to replace the one I lost and 2 for backup. Works the same as the original cable.
I've noticed that one of the cable's PC connections feels a little looser than my other PC cables. Just an observation, no problems thus far.
