Talking Tech - Pocket Wizard

[Kkunchev]

If you are really counting on some piece of machinery to to adjust your flash automatically you might as well switch your camera to Auto. This is not for real photographers. I'll bet you a 100,000 dollars that most of the model-lying-by-the-pool photos so far have been taken without a pocket wizard. So, learn your manual settings and don't spend on BS devices. This is how you can be a great photographer.

@Kkunchev You can still shoot manually using a pocket wizard. It seems like a good wireless way of triggering your off-camera flash.

Thank you. Great video....

PW's do not work at all with canon flashes

There are a lot of complaints about this issue (just google)

[NO0Bstatus]

would this work with the canon ae-1?

[a6km]

what a hottie :D

[prmass1]

Almost $500 for a pcoket wizard?

[shaneuk666]

@prmass1 You get what you pay for.

[RLJSlick]

Great video, but that's too much money, you can do some of the same thing for a lot cheaper.

[sethx9]

@RLJSlick Like what? What cheaper option would you recommend?

[a6km]

@sethx9 Nikon CLS :D but agree pocket wizard is better because you don't have to see the flash.

great and brief .... thanks for posting

works okay with one 580exII, but intermittently. And try and do something with two flashes or more and it is nothing but frustrating. It simply doesn't work reliably. Piece of crap. Unfortunately I bought two of the flex 5 and one mini. Mini is usually fine firing off my other strobe units such as dyna lights. Problems, problems using them with the canon flashes. Disappointed big time.

@baddthad have you tried getting an extra battery pack for the flash? perhaps, flash is reycling slowly?

[TheiGhoest]

thanks for the video :)

what setting do you use for your camera? fully manual or aperture priority? thanks

[bjpennlegend]

no it does not work with 580esx and has issues for with the 430 ex 2, if you got to B&H or pocket wizards site there is a disclaimer saying it may have issues. the old plus 2 is fine and cheaper.

[JPMB350]

it is over priced when you can't afford it

[karcherbiohazard]

i want to buy now..!!!

[vord2000]

hey jeff, that vid really helped me! i am wondering tho, that ultra high sync, does it really works with a regular 580EXII and my 40D body? or do i need 5D or higher body to do it? thanks!

[QuarterCrawl]

Overpriced!
