I suppose you could use a cheaper radio trigger attached to the lights & fire them from the transmitter in your hand as you meter the light & then put the transmitter back on the camera to take the shot.
It's less complicated doing it either with the cable or the wireless transmitter module, but of course you have to pay extra for that.
BTW Mark, I'm no expert in studio lighting or strobist techniques at all, am still learning! Unfortunately, a lack of willing models means I don't get to do studio stuff as often as I'd like.

Thanks for the info, I am no expert either but want to learn how to get ratios with my lighting and the only way is with a meter, it has been hit and miss so far, I hope the meter helps me take the guess work out. I have lots of models but unfortunatly a wife that doesnt understand, if you know what i mean LOL
