I have 2 wizards and I am trying to figure out to take a self photo using one as a receiver and the other as a transmitter.

It's as simple as holding the transmitter in your hand and plugging in the receiver to the camera (while it's on a tripod). I'm not sure if you can even just put it on the hot shoe but you can search that on the internet for video tips.

You will need a cord that connects to your specific brand of camera to the pocket wizard which will trigger your camera. Then you can hold the remote in your hand to trigger the camera. You have to use this cable if you want to trigger your camera by another pocket wizard. If you click on the pocket wizard plus III product here on amazon then scroll to the bottom to you see a huge table. This will show you which cable you need for your specific camera. It even has a link to purchase it there as well.

After the PocketWizard Plus III has been turned on by holding down the Mode button for 10 seconds or so, you change the mode by briefly pushing the Mode button. The modes are: TxRx (the default mode), Tx Only (the unit only transmits), Rx Only (the unit only receives), HSR (high speed receive for increased frame rates), and RP (repeater mode for extending the range of a group of PocketWizard IIIs).

either one can be used as a transmitter or receiver. They have side switches to dictate that.

Yes. One pocket wizard goes on camera and acts as a slave. Second pocket wizard connects to flash and is set as a slave.

You can do that ! You will need 3 units total. One for the camera as a transmitter and two as receivers. You can do what I did and order 2 sets of 2 giving you four. The three that you need and one backup !Good luck with your off camera flash !Alan

You will need two receivers. One for each flash. One transmitter will go on your camera.

Make sure the power supply is connected to each camera. This should be near the receiver (the main box).

Yes. They are transceivers, so they can act as either or. Slip one in the camera's hotshoe to act as your trigger, and set your flash on another unit and that one will be your receiver. The one that sits in the hotshoe can also take another flash on top as well.

Some possible reasons; do you have the channels set to the same on both units? To test that, when the transmitter button is pushed, the red light on the receiver should blink. If they do, then the units are talking to each other. Next check to make sure the batteries are charged.Replace the batteries, both and test again. Lastly make sure the YN-560 is set to M (manual). Attach the flash to the receiver, and see if the transmitter will fire it. Both the flash and the receiver should light up (flash and red light). Lastly check to make sure the YB-560 will fire when attached to the hot shoe of the camera. If all the fails, well I have no idea.

Pocket Wizard.I actually use this on slave and trigger my main alien bees from the pocket wizard, in the studio, but also use the pocket wizard with this strobe if I am using it on location without the alien bees. If you are on a budget, you can also try this:Aputure 2.4Ghz Trigmaster Kit (One Transmitter + 2 Receivers) Radio Remote Flash Trigger and Shutter Cable Release, for Nikon DSLR D200, D300s, D300, D700, D800, D800s, D1, D2, D3x, D3s, D4, and SB-600, 700, 800, 900, 910

Yes. This PocketWizard is both a transmitter and a receiver. Please remember that you will need two PocketWizards when you work with a monolight strobe. Connect one via the sync cord connector to your monolight strobe. Your PocketWizard should come with this connector. Setup this PocketWizard as a receiver and select a radio channel to use. Place the other PocketWizard on your camera's hot shoe. Setup this PocketWizard as the transmitter and select the same radio channel as the receiver PocketWizard. Please also read the instruction manual that comes with each PocketWizard. I hope this answers your question.

Good morning, Sorry it took so long to respond; I have been on vacation. I hope that your problem was resolved. I tried my unit for the first time yesterday; and the main problem that I had was making sure to push down the button down on the transmitter and hold it there for several seconds in order for it to operate. Also where to place the receiver on the camera hot shoe in order to receive the single; had the receiver facing backwards so that it would operate. Als make sure the batteries are in correctly. Bottom line, you get what you pay for. Good luck and have a great week. Jeff

One thing to note is that both devices have to be logged into the same account. You can't have two people access the same camera if they are logged into different accounts.

You need two - one on the camera, the other on the 580 and set them to the same channels. Very simple

As long as the camera is a Logitech WiLife camera. There are two or three kinds of WiLife cameras. Otherwise, no. The camera must use the WiLife communication protocol to work with WiLife transmitters (one per camera), receivers (one per surveillance system) and software (one per surveillance system). Each camera must have a WiLife transmitter to send the pictures to the receiver. I hope I have answered your question with enough info to keep your system operating properly.
