PocketWizard Flex TT5 Canon Transceiver

Features

The PocketWizard FlexTT5 Transceiver Radio Slave is part of an ultra-versatile radio slave system, and is dedicated specifically to the Canon E-TTL II flash control system. It simply slides directly into the camera's hot shoe, and there are no special settings to make or modes to call up. Use the camera, on-camera flash, or flash commander controls for flash compensation, zone and ratio control. It supports single or multiple dedicated flash units.

Canon E-TTL II Flash System

The FlexTT5 is the ideal addition to any Canon E-TTL II flash system. Since this system works on digital radio technology, it can support E-TTL operation up to an amazing 800', even around corners, out-of-sight, or in bright sunlight.

The FlexTT5 is a "Transceiver", meaning it can be used either as a transmitter placed into the camera's hot shoe, in combination with another FlexTT5 unit on the flash end, or as a receiver, with a MiniTT1 transmitter-only unit placed on the camera's hot shoe.

• 2 Channel Settings + Learn Mode

Channel Support and Learn Mode

Each setting can be programmed to support up to 20 ControlTL channels for TTL photography, or 32 standard channels for manual flash photography. The FlexTT5 Transceiver also has a three-zone selector switch, which integrates with Canon zones and ratios. The Learn Mode allows the unit to detect the channel used by any other unit in the area.

• Reverse Compatible

Operates on the same channels as all other PocketWizards and will work with any unit you may already have.

• HyperSync & High-Speed Sync Technology

Supports flash sync speeds of up to 1/500th sec. High-Speed Sync auto syncs flash system with the camera's shutter speed setting, up to 1/8000th.

• Built-in Hot Shoe

Features a hot shoe on the top, so that you can still mount a flash unit directly onto the camera. This allows you to combine your remote flash with the on-camera flash, or use the on-camera flash for additional E-TTL II control only.

• Camera/Flash Ports

The FlexTT5 Transceiver has two plug-in ports for use with remote Canon E-TTL II cameras, or other non-TTL flash units. Camera remote triggering also requires use of a camera-specific "motor cord".

• Remote Camera Triggering/Relay Mode

Can be used to trigger a camera remotely. Requires use of a camera-specific "motor cord". Auto Relay Mode allows you to trigger a remote camera in sync with a remote flash.

• Low-Profile Design

The FlexTT5 lies flat to stay out of the way and uses a flip-up antenna for additional range when needed.

• Configurable and Upgradeable

Upgradeability and Custom Settings

The FlexTT5 features a mini-USB port, which makes it upgradeable and "future-proof" for continuous improvements and compatibility upgrades. The included PocketWizard Utility software allows you to select custom settings through the USB connection, and to set it to use specific channels used by other PockedWizard units.
