The Most Versatile PocketWizard Ever
The FlexTT5 Transceiver maximizes E-TTL II capability of Canon photographic equipment by greatly extending their operating environment. Lock your flash into the built-in hot shoe, turn it on and you are ready to shoot. With 32 standard triggering channels, 20 ETTL II channels and multi-zone capability, it’s the perfect MultiMAX partner. But wait, there’s more…
ControlTL™: PocketWizard’s newest firmware platform taps into the camera’s digital communications to enable an entirely new level of remote flash capabilities through our proven radio system, beginning with remote TTL for Canon E-TTL II systems. ControlTL firmware is configurable and upgradeable for “future-proof” continuous improvement.
Dedicated E-TTL II Flash Triggering: As soon as you lock the FlexTT5 into E-TTL II flashes and pair with a Canon digital camera with another FlexTT5 or MiniTT1™ mounted in the hot-shoe, you have full E-TTL II autoflash exposure control with the freedom and reliability of a PocketWizard radio. 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.
Auto-Sensing Transceiver Technology: PocketWizard’s Auto-Sensing Transceiver Technology enables the FlexTT5 Transceiver to switch back and forth between Transmitter and Receiver modes as needed for greater flexibility on the job. All PocketWizard Transceivers default to Receiver mode. When a hot-shoe or other trigger is detected, it automatically switches to Transmitter mode.
Auto-Relay Mode: Easily trigger a remote camera in sync with a distant remote flashes with Auto-Relay Mode. Put a camera where you can’t be and have remote TTL or non-TTL lighting at the same time. Expand your coverage and increase your creativity.
Power Tracking: When working in E-TTL II you can change any of your control settings on your flash or camera and the system adjusts for those changes. Change your flash compensation to adjust the exposure or make adjustments in shutter speed, aperture or ISO and the system balances your flash for proper exposure.
Eight Frames per Second: Never before have you been able to shoot remote E-TTL II at this speed. Nothing else comes close.
HyperSync™: Digital cameras compute and communicate prior to the shutter opening. By utilizing this time the MiniTT1 can precisely fire flashes early to increase your X-sync speed up to 1/500th of a second. For more info on HyperSync, click here.
FP/High Speed Sync: Need more speed? Push beyond 1/500th and go into FP/High-Speed sync mode automatically with E-TTL II flashes. No buttons to press or settings to change other then your shutter speed will give you flash sync all the way to 1/8000th.
Built-in Hot Shoe: Lock your Canon flash into the FlexTT5’s dedicated hot shoe and combine your remote flash with on-camera flash or use the on-camera flash for additional E-TTL II control only. The metal and glass reinforced resin hot shoe assembly is a superstructure onto itself and incredibly durable. The best part; no more cords.
Low-Profile Design: The FlexTT5 lies flat to stay out of the way and uses a flip-up antenna for additional range when needed.
Channels / Learn Mode: The FlexTT5 has two channel configuration settings; C1 and C2. Each can be programmed as needed with up to 20 ControlTL channels for TTL photography, or 32 standard channels for manual flash photography. Both TTL and manual flashes can be combined in a lighting situation. Use the Learn function to quickly program channels or the reset function to bring things back to factory settings.
Zone Select: The FlexTT5 Transceiver has an A-B-C zone-select switch to allow use with the zones found on Canon E-TTL II flashes. Using these zones allows you to use the E-TTL II ratio controls found in this system. These zones can also be used with a MultiMAX thus allowing you to pair a single MulitMAX radio on camera with FlexTT5’s Transceivers on your remote flashes and gaining many of the MultiMAX’s advance trigger functions.
Programmable and Upgradeable: Use the supplied PocketWizard Utility software with the on-board USB port and the FlexTT5 can be programmed to any PocketWizard channel as well as many other custom settings and can be upgraded whenever updates and feature enhancements are available.
Reverse Compatible: The FlexTT5 Transceiver operates on the same channels as all other PocketWizards and will work with any unit you may already have.
Camera/Flash Ports: The FlexTT5 Transceiver has two plug-in ports for use with remote cameras and non-TTL flash units. Combined with its auto-relay function, the Flex can trigger a remote camera and transmit to a remote TTL or manual flash.
