I bought these same ones and have to say they only worked about 65% of the time. I was always having to stop and adjust them to see why they weren't working, very frustrating. They were ok for my 1st ones as I didn't have the money for better ones. But it was embarrasing when I couldn't get my equipment to work in front of clients. After 2-3 shoots I ended up buying some Cyber Syncs from Alien bees, they work great but are a lot cheaper than Pocket Wizards.

I'll toss in another choice...Radio Popper JrXs. $120US for a transmitter and receiver. Multiple recievers can be set up in up to 3 groups. For AB lights, the transmitter can remotely control the light output from off to full power independently for each group. I use them to trigger both studio lights and portable strobes.
