Can this flash be used with a pocket wizard Plus II Transceiver?

I would see no reason why it wouldn't. I use a different trigger that works on the same principle as pocket wizard and have never had an issue.

No it can not be used with a pocket wizard Plus II Transceiver. I must tell you this flash is has a major issue with the hot shoe breaking. I have 3 of these flashes all with a broken hot shoe.

The flash comes with a sync cord with the standard flash sync connection on one end which would connect to the "Flash" terminal on the Pocket Wizard Plus II when being used as a receiver to activate the Vivitar 285HV.

Sorry I don't know for sure. I would imagine a current model of it would but would be skeptical of an older model. The only way to know for sure is to contact Vivitar or Pocket Wizard.

Hi Trice. You will need to get two units. One to transmit and one to receive the signal. Keep in mind, after you have these, if you add additional flash units, you can switch one into slave mode and trigger it from the flash of the 580exll which is connected to the PW. This way, you won't have to buy additional PW's unless you want to get into zones etc... Hope this helps. BreAna

Yes, look up the Godox Cells II. According to fstoppers.com and flashhavoc.com, it has a transceiver that you have to use for it.

Does this have the right input connections to be used with sync cable and pocket wizard?

It is correct that the Plus will work or a Plus x, however that will be in manual or Aperture Priority modes. If you want TTL capability I suggest contacting Pocket wizard as has been suggested already. I'm not sure which combo would be correct beyond this as I shoot mine in manual.

Yes, the only camera system which needs a special adaptor for transmitter is Sony, which I shoot with. You will have no problems with your Nikon. Unless you are a serious pro, don't waste money on Pocket Wizard wireless triggers because Cowboy Studio's offerings does the same job for a fraction of the price. I just took over 150 couple photos at my Army BDE's Ball and the system in question worked flawlessly with 0 misfires. I hope this input helps. SFC Brian Sotile 181ST INF BDE

I use Pocket Wizards. The devices that came with this kit are really cheap and not worth working with. (My opinion)

No, you have to install a pocket wizard to use it wireless. Yes it works with canon.

I don't have a ppcket wizard, but I do have the Youngnou wireless flash trigger and I do hook it up at the shoe and then my flash. I hope this helps.

No, sorry... their on a different frequency. You can use it if you manually fire the strobes... it has a built in delay mode if you want to do that... but it will only control Pocket Wizard triggers.

It works on anything. But there is no TTL capability. It's a basic single-pin transmitter and receiver that sends a simple on/off signal. The transmitter mounts on the hot shoe of the camera and the receiver either mounts to the shoe base of the flash or connects to another flash or light system via a mini-jack input sync cord. The transmitter sends the on/off signal to the flash. There is no power control or adjustability. Hope that helps.For TTL and customization options, you need the Strato, or better yet, Pocket Wizards. More expensive, but definitely worth it. There is a reason you see Wizards on pro rigs...(Pocket Wizards are my next upgrade). Cheers! :) It works on anything. But there is no TTL capability.

It should work with just about any flash. It's a very simple unit. But if you have a 600 EX-RT, I'd consider going with a wireless transmitter that supports ETTL like the ST-E2/E3 or even the Yongnuo ST-E2.

If your flash does not have a PC port for the sync cord, you cannot use the PocketWizard Plus X to trigger it.

Pocket wizards work by radio transmitter. The cowboys are a cheaper alternative and very good as well. I think most people use pocket wizards because they're industry standard, have a better trigger fire reliability and older versions work well with newer versions.

This should work with any flash that takes a sync cable as long as you are using the proper transmitter from your camera

Honestly I doubt you can. They are pretty specific as to what they can be used on. I've tried them on several different flash units and from what I can tell, they only work on the units specified.

Hi Cheri, Not sure what flash you're using. I use this on my canon 580ex II and 430 ex. It works fine.
