FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS: GO TO THE WEBSITE AND UPGRADE THE FIRMWARE. IT WILL SAVE YOU A LOT OF TIME AND HEARTBURN WITH GETTING THEM TO WORK. I recently purchase these triggers knowing that like every other manufacturer that Pocketwizard would overlook something in the initial release. I was pretty happy with my Pocketwizard II units with the exception that there was no hot shoe to connect to my external flashes and had to rely on the overpriced cables. That all being said, I like these little guys but they are overpriced especially since the Chinese and Koreans are introducing models that are just as capable of doing the same thing. Here is my take on this product. Build quality: Okay but there is room for improvement Reliability: I have no complaints. Even though there are Korean and Chinese models that will trigger around corners, and at distances (none to the same distance as the Pocketwizard) these are better than the rest of the options. Functionality: They get four (4) stars from me on this one and that is because they work with the SB-400, SB-600, SB-700, and the SB-900. It remains to be seen what sort of issues they will present us with in conjunction with the new SB-910. The fifth star would have been added if they were compatible with the SB-28, SB-28DX, SB-80DX and possibly the SB-50DX. We are still paying top dollar even in the used market for these flashes and having some backward compatibility would have been a plus. I understand why they are not backward compatible to the aforementioned models as not all of them were iTTL compatible. I have used them with the TT1 and AC3 (Zone Controller) attached to the hot shoe of my camera, and have been able to control flash output from the camera instead of having to make the adjustment at the flash itself. I have placed them on umbrella stands, inside of soft boxes, and fish fryers without an issue. Love the ability to assign them to different groups and the ability to fire all groups at one time or to select the groups that I want to fire and when. Conclusion: They are nice, they are small and work. The downside is, you need a budget of about $1200 to get a full system. That is one for the main, one for the fill, one for the background, and one for the hair light, a TT1 for the hot shoe and an AC3 Zone Controller. I also tried them with my METZ 48AF and it works like a charm. I haven't tried them with my Nissin Di622, it is on loan to my daughter. WOULD I BUY AGAIN: Maybe

I worked with 3 FlexTT5 Transceivers and 1 AC3 controller for about 1.5 years. Finally got rid of them and switched to the Phottix Odin system (my life is so much better now). If you're thinking about buying this, please do yourself a favor and go with the Phottix Odin instead. Why? 1. The PocketWizard FlexTT5 (PW) is unreliable. Even with fresh batteries, genuine Nikon flashes and the same latest software in all of them, they constantly stopped working, or decided to fire the flash too late etc. Embarrassing moments in front of clients stopped the very moment I started to use the Phottix system instead. The Phottix Odin is reliable as a tank. Not a single misfire since using it. That's just my personal experience, but for me the PW screwed up a lot of photos during events and it's nothing worse than equipment not working in front of clients. 2. Consult the PW manual before buying (you can find it as PDF online): You need to turn on the flash, then the PW unit, then the camera - with 2-3 seconds in between. And dare you to not set the right settings in camera. Disobey any of that and the whole setup will most likely not work. PocketWizard should better learn from the Phottix guys: With the Odin system you don't need to setup anything in the camera, no matter how or when you turn anything (flash, receiver, camera) on, it will always work. Always! (the Odin that is, not the PW). 3. Price: The PW is much more expensive than the Phottix Odin, for no good reason. And please when you compare prices put into the equation that you will need an AC3 controller if you want to get anywhere near the possibilities of the Phottix Odin system. Also, additional receivers: PW = $200-$230 / Odin = $130. Thinking about the ridiculous to replace battery in the MiniTT1 I never even bothered with that one, btw. 4. Design: The PW has basically no way of adjusting anything on top of the unit. If you stack an ($70 extra) AC3 controller on top of it (which btw. looks and feels kind of awkward) you have these 1980s style manual dials and switches. Even if you love manual switches, compare to the sophisticated, digital display design of the Phottix Odin. With the PW + AC3 you can adjust off/manual/TTL and dial in -3 to +3 flash power. With the Phottix you can digitally switch from TTL +/- 2.0 or manual 1/128 to 1/1 (full). So the PW offers some unintuitive adjustments (what does "-2" even mean...?) while the Phottix uses the same values you will find in any digital Nikon camera and flash known to mankind (e.g. I can set a flash to 1/4 power but what does that even translate to in the PocketWizard terminology of -3 to +3?). 5. Taking flash photos after dark? Does not sound unreasonable, but good luck with the PW system. The Phottix has an illuminated display, the PW does not even know the word display. 6. Antenna: Awkward easy-to-break-off, flip-out antenna on the PW (and yes, above ~20 feet you need to pull it out). Integrated seamlessly designed on the Odin. 7. Battery (remaining power) display: PW = None, Phottix = Yes. 8. User friendliness: The PW system is so insanely user unfriendly. You definitely need to study the manual before being able to use it in the field. And if you don't setup your Nikon camera to the right settings nothing will work. Compare the Phottix Odin: I never even read the manual. Just break it out of the box, put batteries in and it works. Absolutely intuitive. Thanks for reading this review. I do realize that negative reviews get only few "helpful" votes, but if I can help a poor soul to stay away from this miserable and expensive design of a flash trigger system, I don't care. As a full time wedding photographer, I love the Phottix Odin system as much as I hated the PW system. If you're in the market for a reliable TTL and Hypersynch capable system your best choice will be the Phottix Odin. Let me know about any related questions in the comment section, I'm happy to answer them.

I have been using my pocketwizard MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 for over a year now with mixed results. I had, emphasis on the word had, reliability issues with the system failing to fire about 10% of the time. I love using off camera flash with my Quantum X5DR to over power the sun in outdoor portraits and sports. Photographing Rec League teams leaves me no option but to photograph some teams in the mid day sun. I use my pocket wizards to fire my Quantum on manuel to avoid the bulky FreeXwire system Quantum developed. I see now that Quantum has come out with a better system. My problem was that the MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 didn't always communicate. I could fiddle with it and get it to work for a while, but then it would happen again. I hated fiddling with equipment infront of clients. I almost gave up. In a last ditch effort to save my system I called PocketWizard tech support. I received prompt, curtious, professional support. The gentleman listened to me explain my issues and suggested that I use the utility and check for upgrades. I told him that I had done that a couple of months ago. Never the less, I did run the utility again and it worked! I have tested the unit several times over the last two days and it fires relialibly everytime. It works when I put a Nikon Speedlight on the Flex. It worked with the Quantum adapter connected to the Flex. It worked with the Quantum adapter connected to the Mini on my camera. Thanks Pocketwizard. And a special thank you to the tech support individual who listened to my frustration and gave me a workable solution. I can't wait to photograph basketball season.
