@global001 I concur, I have seen these demonstrated at really quite extreme distances, including the Mark Wallace demonstration in a very large enclosed space.

@TALKCalgary This does seem to fly in the face of everything I've read about them. I am considering a purchase. I live in the UK.

@TALKCalgary The 3V battery in the TT1 is so common here in London you can get them from your local supermarket or store. Mark Wallace from Snap Factory has demonstrated them here at much larger distances than 10-20 feet so perhaps you have some dud's.

We are commercial photographers based in Calgary, Alberta. In the studio we use Pocket Wizard all the time. Outside however or even in a large enclosed area such as an airport the MiniTT and Fkex5 simply don't work. The max ETTL range with our 780's is no more than than 10 - 20ft In fact, we get better line of sight coverage using IR. Also. The TT1 uses a battery that is very hard to replace. Even our camera store don't stock them!
