Speedlite 580ex Ii Accessories
What accessories do I need to connect one-Wizard Plus II Transceiver pocket for a 580EX Speedlite flash?

Pocket Wizard has a sub-mini jack socket on which you can connect a sub-mini plug. You can also connect an adapter that converts the female jack to female PC outlet, (departure from PC is on most SLR and all the half-format cameras). If you have a 580EX will have to get a flash cable from PC to Pocket Wizard (with the adapter to the PC connected to the Pocket Wizard). The only way is through the use of a shoe "hot to PC" adapter at the foot of Canon flash. This work will have a PC cable coming out of the pile "hot" which is then connected to the input jack of the transceiver (with the female PC adapter in use). If you have a Speedlite 580EX II, this new model has an output for PC that will not need the "hot shoe to PC" adapter. Simply connecting a computer cable Flash aside for the Pocket Wizard. You should consult with the people of Mamiya Group, provider of Pocket Wizard, here in the States. They can help with the sub-mini adapter to the PC, and various configurations of PC cables for use with Pocket Wizard.
