Questions & Answers

Terri S : Does it matter which PW used? For Nikon or Canon? Is there a difference in modules?ROBERT C : This uses the standard PW frequencies, which are the same for Nikon or Canon use.RON C : I use it in an L358. I bought it assuming that it would work with my Nikon TTL system. I never got it to do that without disabling the TTL feature in the PW's. I did, however, get another PW without the TTL features and it triggers that just fine. If it is only used as a trigger for the flash (without TTL monitoring) it should not matter what kind of flash you have. I believe that this module is universal for triggering PW's without TTL capability.DONALD R : I use this with a PW Plus II. I am not sure about the newer models. For the camera brand, it should not matter. I do not think there is a specific PW for Canon or Nikon or Sony.ROBERT P : The modules in the meters are the same. They trigger the modules in selected strobe units (moonlights, power supplies) or trigger any PW transceiver or receiver units attached to speedlites. TTL information is not transmitted. One would stand at the subject position aiming the meter back toward the camera or the light sources and would take a reading in the flash mode.JAMES F : As far as I know it doesn't matter as I am using mine on Sony equipment.
Shopper : Hi, can anyone tell me if this is compatible with the Sekonic L-758 light meter? ThanksROBERT P : Fully compatible with the L-758DR.THANH T : The best and absolutely sure answer is contact to Sekonic people amd they are willing to help you. They are very good about their products because I called them for questioning my trouble with Sekonic L358. Good luck to you.
D90 R : Currently I have Bowens radio triggers. Will this Sekonic Trigger my Bowens RT's?RAY S : Sekonic RT's only for pocket wizardDONALD R : If the Bowens RT are PocketWizard compatible, then "probably". But if they operate on different frequencies (and I think this is the case), then they will probably not fire the Bowens.JOHN N : I don't have Bowens then never try! As I know this unit only designated to work on pocket wizard only.

I would buy this product many times over

I use my Sekonic L 558 with the RT 32 transmitter to trigger my minitt1 and my Flex TTP5. I use it to trigger all my pocketwizards, my battery packs, never fails to trigger them.

Great once configured

When used with FlexTT5, I-TTL is not supported. The supplied documentation is vague at best, so plan on doing lots of internet searching. Once the painful setup was completed, it works really nice.

Good, but not perfect

About 5% of the time, it will fail to flash. Don't know if it's the module or the meter.

Outstand product

I use the Sekonic for all flash set ups. I love ease of use and the pocket wizard transmitter.

Works well, catch with Pocket Wizard TT5

I'm using this for determining studio flash setups faster. It works well, but with a minor catch for Pocket Wizard FlexTT5 users (and I assume MiniTT1 users). The overall documentation for the RT-32 is a little weak, but online searches can help pretty quickly. Documentation says the remote trigger for the L-358 will trigger any Pocket Wizard. The L-358 uses the standard Pocket Wizard channels, but the FlexTT5 does not. To get these to work together you have to use the Pocket Wizard configuration utility to set one of the TT5 configurations to use the standard channels - which means E-TTL won't work for that configuration.

Sekonic module

The module installed easily and worked fine in the house indoors, as soon as I had it outside the range was only a few feet, not suitable for a large family portrait. I have only tried it that one time though, more thorough testing is needed.

It is just OK, not quite as the Pocket W

Its is great as I do not have to use another trigger for measuringing light, It would be better if the radio range is increased, very limited in this area. fails further than 30 feet

Installs easily, and just works everytime. I'm glad I got this for use with my Pocket Wizards.

Good and simple

Flash measuring means a sync cable (I mean...wires wires wires everywhere...) or a pocketwizard attached on your Sekonic (and pocketwizard are not so cheap) RT32 is a great product: sync chord is not necessary anymore and its price is 1/3 of a pocketwizard. Cool. Just remove it from package, install (10 sec) and start reading the light. Simple to install and simple to use. On the datasheets working range is 100' but mine (brand new) has only 5' range, so it's pretty useless. NOTE: RT32 FCC version is for US Sekonic and US Pocketwizard. RT32 EU version is for European Sekonic and European Poketwizard. BUT you can fit RT32 FCC in European Sekonic. Just Google how. Take care the exposure meter has the same standard of your pocketwizard

Sekonic Radio Trigger

The Sekonic Radio Trigger is a fantastic option to have on my Sekonic Light Meters. With the ability to trigger my Pocket Wizards from the meter, it makes my life easier, especially when I don't have an assistant along.

Must have for L358

We purchased this with the L-358 and it works beautifully with our Pocket Wizards. I can't imagine life without the wireless metering capabilities this product brings.

Does it rattle?

I purchased the package with my sekonic L-358. When it arrived, I slowly took it out of the box and when handled, it rattles like something is loose. It only works with in 1 meter and that's at best 30% reliable. I'm sending it back.

Works just as advertised

Push the button on my Sekonic L-358 and the strobes fire and the reading is displayed. What could be simpler? One less wire to trip over in a crowded studio.

If you own the L358, this is a must have

In my opinion, the L358 is not complete without this handy little gadget. It really does cut out the middle man by eliminating the need for a cord or having to take your Pocket Wizard transmitter off the camera to fire the flash for metering. If you don't buy this when you buy the meter (which you should), get it as soon as possible. It's worth its weight in gold!!!

Should have bought it from the get go

As designated by the headline, should have bought it from the very start. Makes metering lights so much simpler without having to drag out a cord or a spare PW.

No more sync cables, ever!

This is a great addition to a Sekonic meter. Installation is a breeze. The one glitch is that the initial setup is a bit tricky. When I tried to configure the channel, I got a blinking channel number and couldn't stop it from blinking or use the meter. Eventually, I switched the mode, and everything worked. The documentation could be a little better on this point. Once it was setup though, it worked perfectly. No more detaching my Pocket Wizard from my camera, connecting it to the light meter, taking a reading, then putting it back on the camera. It will pay for itself in time savings in the first couple of shoots where I use it. I think the price has come down in the four years since I bought my Sekonic L-358... I wish I hadn't waited so long to add this module!

The reason why I use a Sekonic L-358

As soon as I bought my Pocket Wizards, I ordered the RT-32 transmitter. It's the reason why I picked the Sekonic L-358 meter. It works perfectly with Pocket Wizard Multimax units.
