Remote flash problem: flash works every second photo I take

Re: Remote flash problem: flash works every second photo I take

That might be because of the flash recycle time (see the internet for details).  It varies depending on the flash unit used.  If you wait about six seconds or more between shutter activations, you might not have that problem any longer.  We just must wait until the flash unit recovers.  To get a faster recycle time you could also use another more powerful battery pack.  I don't have experience with these units myself; this is just what I had been reading.  But I'm familiar with flash recycle times with on-camera flash.
