I'm trying to decide between the Hensel Integra Pro and the Pro Plus (with radio receiver/transmitter) system. Does anyone know if when the Hensel radio system is active does the optical slave system still work? Or is it disabled?

I already own two sets of Pocket Wizards and also have the PW-compatible radio modules in my Sekonic meters and I would hate to give up the convienience they offer (especially for metering). Yet I would love to have the remote power adjustment for the lights that the Hensel remote offers.

So thanks to a suggestion by StevenD, I'm trying to find out if it would be possible to use BOTH the PW and Hensel system at the same time.

A PW receiver would be plugged into a light and transmitters would be on my cameras for taking the shots. The module in the Sekonic meters would trigger the receiver for firing the lights to take readings. And the Hensel remote would be used to fine-tune the light output (I hate climbing ladders to adjust the power of a hair light!).

Is this a dream, or would it be somehow possible?

(I'm also getting the Premium Porty Plus kit so I'd have the Hensel remote system there too.)

Thanks!
