    great tutorial! probably the best one on metering i’ve come across so far on youtube.
    but, for the record, you don’t need to have pocket wizards or the RT32 module for wireless metering. as long as you have any type of wireless triggering system you can just connect the transmitter to the x sync on your meter and you’re all set. i do acknowledge that it is much more convenient not to have all that attached, but compare that to the steep cost of pw’s and a special meter and/or module.

    The music (aka noise) is really annoying. I’d like to watch more videos but with that noise…forget it.

    I agree about the bloody music. What is this mania for inviting a band to rehearse in the room next door when they’re TRYIN’ TO MAKE A MOVIE IN HERE. (Clueless)

    Agreed

    The music is a MAJOR distraction to the content being spoken
