I've ordered the Pocket Wizards and the Alien Bee 800's. I was daydreaming about my new set-up when it hit me that I forgot to order cords to connect the two!

Am I correct that I need to also purchase 3 of these (for my 3 lights)?
Miniphone to Miniphone Cable

Are there any cheaper alternatives? $18 seems steep! LOL

Didn't you just spend $7800.00 -- now buy the $18 cords and get it done!!! Seriously though, good luck, I don't know the answer, bump.

Check out the specs on the pages of stuff you bought. Heres the "
Item Includes" page from B&H for the MultiMax

ΓΆ€ΒΆ AA Alkaline Batteries (2)
ΓΆ€ΒΆ Hand Strap
ΓΆ€ΒΆ Velcro Tabs (2)
ΓΆ€ΒΆ PC to Miniphone Cable
ΓΆ€ΒΆ 1-Year Warranty

And here's for the Plus kit

ΓΆ€ΒΆ Pocket Wizard Plus Transmitter
ΓΆ€ΒΆ Pocket Wizard Plus Receiver
ΓΆ€ΒΆ The transmitter listed above includes a Mini-to-PC Sync Cord

So you may only need 1 or 2 cords, or none. Just be sure.

"Miniphone" or 1/8" phone plugs are what are used to connect computer speakers and the like -- try Radio Shack. These (the B&H wires) may be made of heavier-gauge wire than speaker wires, but I bet you can also buy a few feet of cable and a couple pairs of connectors for under $10.

That is what I was thinking. I was wondering why b&h was so expensive. I need miniphone to miniphone......not PC to Miniphone.

LOL about how much I spent. I thought I was *done* spending money.....another $60 just sucks ;) Now, if it was $60 on something fun like filters, I wouldn't be complaining..LOL
