Remote Cameras

We were shooting more catalogue work today on white seamless at Work N Gear, and as we were shooting larger groups of product, I decided to just mount the camera up in the air on a boom and fire the camera remotely.

I blogged a bit about this in the past when we shot that MTB rider in Wampatuck State park, but as it is a pretty cool thing to do, I thought I would bring it up again.

So heres what you need:  4 Poket Wizard Transcievers and a Pocket Wizard remote camera cord.

Connect a Wizard to the hotshoe on the camera, put that on channel 1.  Connect a Wizard to your strobe (also on channel 1.)  Connect a Wizard to the remote port on your camera via the Pocket Wizard cable, set that Wizard to channel 2.  Finally, set a fourth Wizard also to channel 2.  This 4th Wizard will be held in your hand and used to trigger the cascade.
