Thanks. Well appreciated!

I'm always confused at why people say their flashes take 10-30 seconds to recharge after a full dump. It must be your batteries. I use Sanyo Eneloop Rechargeable batteries and my recycle times are usually 3-5 seconds after a full 1/1 power flash.

Thanks for the hard work this was a great comparison.

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!

Really... Seriously??? Good review, but lose the two children in the background. If I wanted to waste my time waching children play I'd watch an episode of Wildboyz or something - Can't belive you posted this after seeing it- Very unprofessional.
