[QUOTE="bigbird, post: 158442, member: 14520"] I posted on here a few days ago about my sb910 that went all wonky on me. I took it to the shop where I bought and lucky me I had a day left on the warranty, so it's off to Nikon for repair. Down side is since I am in the Caribbean this will take longer than usual and I wont have it back until the end of July after my vacation. So I did what any reasonable person would do and I bought an SB700 to use in the interim. My question is do I go with the SU800 or the pocket wizard to integrate them all together? And if I go with the pocket wizard do I need a tranceiver for both speed lights? I noticed in the pocket wizard video the guy shows only one speed light with a transceiver on it and a second speed light in slave mode that will fire due to the flash of the first. How fast will this sync to the first light? Will this configuration limit me on high speed sync situations? I am leaning towards the pocket wizard due to the distance and line of sight issues with the SU800, but if I need 2 transceivers that adds another 2oo bucks into the total cost. Any input is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
