All you need is the CME-3-P Cable ..... It's just a mini to sub-mini with the Pre-Trigger Feature.
And of course a transmitter and receiver .....

I've also triggered a Contax 645 AFD with a set of Pocket Wizards. You will need to have the addtional cable that would connects your DB and the grip.

Chris, what cable did you use to trigger the Contax 645 via Pocket Wizards? I think I already have the (serial-->camera-to-back) cable needed to keep the ProBack "awake" and ready.

Mike,
It was on a Contax 645 AFD and a P30+. I used a Phase One cable that has a multi-port connection on one side and a extra small mini-phone on the grip side. If you like, I can post a pic tomorrow.

And if the PW at the camera is a tranceiver, you can sync your strobes by simply setting the PW at the strobes to the next higher channel.

Eh?
Surely you need to be on the same channell
then you sit in the bar pressing the button on a transmitter
and everything fires off all at the same time

Morgan,
There is a feature called Relay that allows a Pocket Wizard Transceiver Model to act as both a Receiver (To fire the camera) and then instantly switch to a Transmitter (to fire the strobes).
Set your transceiver to Transmit and choose a channel and zones.
Press L and it will turn relay on. (It should now show Transmit and a Channel and receive and a Channel.
Now set it to Receiver and choose a different channel and zone.
Connect the Sync cord to the camera and plug it into port 1 on the pocket wizard. Connect the Motor Drive cord to Port 2.
Now you need a transmitter in your hands to trigger the camera set to the same channel that the transceiver has on receive and a receiver on the strobes set to the same channel that you have the transceiver set on transmit.
It's used often by sports photographers to trigger a remote camera say on a basketball backboard and also trigger the strobes. IF they were set on the same channel the flash would fire at the same time the camera got the signal to fire.

... and therefore go off too early ?
I will have to run some tests
I have one multimax and a few 'classics'
So you are saying...
Hold a transmitter on channell 1
Have the multimax near the camera receiving on chanel 1 and transmitting on channel 2
set receivers on flashes to channel 2

Yes it would go off too early .... and you are correct. But make sure to hit L on the multimax to toggle the Relay feature on.

And it's even easier with a Plus II at the camera. Basically plug and play. It will automatically transmit on the next higher channel after firing the camera.
I use this feature for portraiture. Especially kids, where I often want to be able to interact with the subject from in front of the camera.
