Love your show – hope Samys keeps the segment going!
Jay P, I can tell you that I have put my Canon ST-E3-RT on top of a Pocketwizard Flextt5 and it worked just great. Was photographing a group of over 120 people and my Alien Bee 800’s just did not give me enough light for the back couple of rows. So I used my Canon flashes to cover the back rows. So it might work with the new model.

I really love Trends from the Trenches please don’t go away.
I made some major purchases from Samys (500.00 +) instead of my usually supplier just to support TFT. Thank you for the rental coupon it was a supper bonus. I did have a great experience at Samys and will now make them my go-to supplier for new gear and supplies.
Thank you TFT and Samys.
