Has ANYONE used these boxes with NIKON CLS, does it work or do you need PW?

thanks...

The design of the Apollos has the flash inside the softbox, as opposed to shooting into an opening in the back. I would imagine without line-of-site connection, CLS would be pretty lost unless you figure out some kind of fiberoptic receptor. I wasn't able to get Canon's system to work inside an Apollo (older).

As far as a straight slave flash, the IR may get through the box and fire it, but I would wizard it.
