Sl to Pocket wizard Plus iii to trigger SL camera Which Cable

I watched the Youtube and it says I need a specific cable to trigger the camera . The Cable that came with the PW iii  fits but does not trigger the camera remote with the other PW plus iii

  Thank you

Which "the Youtube" are you referring to? The cable that ships with the PWIII will connect with a PC socket on a flash, to trigger the flash. I suspect you'll need a cable that connects the PWIII to that odd socket just below the PC socket on the SL - it's used for the audio adapter/dongle or the RC-S remote release. You might check the PW Website to see if they offer a cable with a compatible plug. Some of Nikon's high-end cameras can be tripped with a PW, but you have to buy a PW cable that has the Nikon proprietary plug on it for that to work.

i cant find the cable to do this.  i need a number and where to buy it   thanks

Why would you need a cable. With the PW on the camera (hot shoe) should trigger the PW transmitter?????

This has been addressed before on this forum.

I did many tests. conclusion is that there is no cable for pocked wizard that had the correct wiring . You can probably do it yourself.

My solution was to buy a less expensive trigger on amazon that is for Panasonic S1 cameras + an adapter..

Anything that works for Panasonic S1 with adapter works

Thank you.  There is NO problem with the mini plug . its the camera port that is a different. On the SL it looks like the center connector on the side of the camera body below the round flash sync socket.
