Description

The MiniTT1 transmitter is a low-profile unit that slides directly into the camera’s hot shoe. It takes the complex TTL flash data sent through the camera’s hot shoe contacts and transmits it in a secure, unique PocketWizard radio signal. Flash units must be mounted on a FlexTT5 transceiver (ordered sepretaly) for TTL operation or any PocketWizard unit for manual operation. Shoot up to 1/8000 sec. with high-speed flash sync or up to 1/500 sec. with full power flash using exclusive PocketWizard HyperSync. Unique ControlTL system enables shooting remote autoflash at up to 8fps. As all communication takes place through the dedicated hot shoes, there is no need for cables, brackets, Velcro® or tape to use them. The MiniTT1 transmitter can be used for TTL auto flash up to 800 feet and conventional triggering up to 1200 feet. The unit feature a two-position channel selector that is factory programmed to the PocketWizard classic channel one and two. Using the included software and USB port, you can program either channel to any of the PocketWizard system’s 32 digitally encoded channels and four zones. A special Learning Mode enables simple, in-the-field programming of all channels. Compatible with the following: Canon DSLR Cameras: 1Ds MKIII, MKII; 1D MKIII; MKII; 1DMKII N; 5D, 5D MKII; 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D; Rebel XT/350D, Rebel XTi/400D, Rebel XS/1000D, Rebel XSi/450D Canon Flash Units: 580EX, 580EXII, 430EX, and 430EXII

  • Great at close range only
Style: Canon Transmitter
I purchased this trasmitter along with the FlexTT5 and gave it a good a test and found that it was great only at close range. You shouldn't have any trouble with it if that is all you intend to use it for. For most portrait use it should be fine. However, I would advise against it if you are a wedding photographer and plan to trigger lights that are far away. It simply is unreliable at best for anything beyond 20 to 30 feet range. I use pocket wizards to trigger my off camera strobes that I place at various locations when I'm photographing a wedding reception. I never had any problems with the old Pocket Wizards but this one was useless for that application. However, it was great for covering small rooms or doing portraits. I returned the MiniTT1 and purchased another FlexTT5 instead. This is the combination I would recommend. With the FlexTT5 on the camera, and a 430EX II on another FlexTT5 on a lightstand I was able to get reliable triggering up to 120 feet instead of 25-30 feet with the MiniTTi. While 120 feet is still not far compare to the old Pocket Wizard Transceivers, it was adequate for what I needed, and I really like having wireless ETTL metering so it's worth the sacrifice to me. Hope this helps! ... show more

  • Little magic gadget
Style: Canon Transmitter
I used to use Canon ST-E2 on my 40D and 5D mark II to remote control my 3 580EX-II. But due to limitation of infrared, flash unit has to be within the sight to ST-E2 and distance is short (~30feet). Because of it, I can't freely move my camera, ex: needed to tweak my flash if using softbox which may block reception, and I was still suffering with missing flash shot. Then I learnt that pocket wizard MultiMax/Plus II can resolve this issue (using radio frequency and no more infrared). But those units looked awkard (and cheap materials) and connection via cable is not secured to me. So I returned my MultiMax/Plus II and moved on to Mini TT1/Flex TT5, then BINGO! This is the right move! They work perfectly with my 580EX-II, no more miss flash shot, size is smaller (no more ugly box with antenna on my camera) and connection (hotshoe) is more secured. The channel can be easily PC-configured via USB cable and software (included in the box) or using "learn" mode (haven't tried yet) to train other units. PW website also has several video to show how other pros love this. One known issue is that currently flash on TT1 is not supported for 5D mark II yet and may be soon enabled by future firmware update. This doesn't bother me much since mostly I either work with one single flash on camera (without TT1) or multiple remote flash units (with TT1/TT5). One more minor thing I still not figure out is how to use Flex TT5 with P1 cable to remotely trigger my camera as MultiMax (somehow the hit rate is < 50%)... Summary - the best radio solution for Canon flash! Hope this helps your decision. :-) --------------------------- 04/05/2009 UPDATE: PW released the firmware update on 04/02. This update resolved all my issues!! Great job PW!!! ... show more

  • Avoid the mini TT1, get the TT5 Flex.
Style: Canon Transmitter
Ok, like you I ran through all these reviews and said, yeah these people are wrong, it won't happen to me, but think again. I ordered a Mini T1 and 2 Flex units. Right from the start I had a problem with my 5DII and 480II flashes. The first shot I would fire would not trigger the flashes, but the very next shot would fire. And those after that would fire too. If I waited 30 seconds, the process started again. Misfire, then fire. Any pause in the firing would repeat. When I took the TT1 off the camera, and replaced it with a TT5, no problems. Fired every time. Now, this brings me to the Pocket Wizard tech support. They are slow to respond. Maybe they are just hammered with complaint and their is one guy, I don't know, but is seems like it. So the reponse I got from them was, load the latest beta code on the units. These were brand new! but I followed instruction. Same deal, did not change a thing. So I responded to the email they send telling them. I waited , waited some more, and waited more. No response. Sent in another complaint issue off their website, no response. Send another asking if they were avoiding me, no response. The last one I sent I said I was returing the TT1 to Amazon as decective and buying another TT5. Call me a clown for trying with these things. Well, the additional TT5 did the trick, for now. I am going on a shoot tomorrow and will find out if it works every time, has the range, etc. Ok, these things are expensive, you do not expect the to work like the cheap little triggers out there, but maybe they are better, don't know. I like the fact that I can control flash output right from the AC9 unit. Anyway, if you must buy, avoid the TT1 Mini. ... show more

  • lots of wasted time
Style: Canon Transmitter
I bought a MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 combo. These have sucked up an enormous amount of time trying all sorts of setting combinations - due to poor documentation, and no official forums (hello, this is the 21st century calling!). On a Canon 10D + 420EX, no amount of tinkering could get these to work. They are both listed as supported, but I spend hours messing with setting combinations, firmware updates, resets, fresh batteries, etc, and I could only get one of two results: 1. flash fires before mirror moves - I see the flash in viewfinder before the photo is taken, and no sign of a flash in the photo. 2. flash doesn't fire at all. On a Canon 5D MKII (after firmware updates came out), it does work with my 420EX. If all I had wanted to was to move my lone flash off my camera, I could now consider this a success. However I was hoping for more from $400 worth of PW merchandise. After much reading about the headaches with 580EX & PW incompatibilities, I picked up an old 550EX (one of the recommended options from PW web pages). But I've been unable to reliably use two flashes with the MiniTT1 + FlexTT5. I'm back to either one flash or use the two flashes with infra-red control (ie ditch the pocket wizards). I had high hopes that I could remotely trigger the 550EX, which would in turn (via master mode) trigger the 420EX. However the PWs won't trigger the 550EX remotely when it is set to master mode (although strangely it will flash if the local 'test' button is pressed, but not the remote one). The other option for using both flashes is to put one on top of the tt1 on the camera, but that seems to be incredibly unreliable - I've got lots of black pictures where neither flash fired. My experience so far is that the pocket wizards are unreliable. I'm not talking about radio interference, just basic operation. There's a 'test' button on each device to trigger the flash. Click the button, and sometimes you get a flash, sometimes nothing. The PWs have two settings, a 'C1', and 'C2', for holding different settings. I made C1 and C2 have the same settings, and still I'd find different behavior when hitting the 'test' button depending on if C1 or C2 was selected. I'm very disappointed by the terrible documentation and support. ... show more

  • Why didn't canon do this?
Style: Canon Transmitter
I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about the MiniTT1 and FlexTT5, but some of what I read made this worth a try. What really attracted me was the 2nd curtain flash sync with radio wireless. To my surprise, they worked better than expected -- After upgrading the firmware to 4.374 BETA. The one negative aspect was that I had to upgrade to the beta firmware to get the feature I wanted. Upgrading itself was painless. It took me 5 minutes to upgrade all 4 units. Once upgraded, these units delivered everything I wanted and quite a bit more. Most simply explained, the Mini/Flex combo allow any flash you want to use to be perfectly synced with whatever exposure you want, from a 30 second exposure with a 2nd (rear) curtain flash all the way to their advertised 1/8000sec (if supported by your camera). No matter what setting I used, my flashes were always perfectly timed - all using the default settings from the beta firmware. I'd like to emphasize that this works with any flash you want -- You're no longer limited to Canon speed lights, and you get a wider range of timing control. To my surprise, 2nd curtain sync works much better with the Mini/Flex than it ever did using my canon speed light. My club/event shots where I drag the shutter to capture motion blur all have the subject solidly frozen at the end of the exposure where as my canon 580 on its own had occasional blur after the flash. One feature I especially liked is this works with a light on the camera, and one in hand -- This means you can get more flexibility and lighting control at parties and events than with the default canon speedlights. In a more controlled environment, the Mini/Flex combo become even more transparent. I'm far from being a photography expert, but I can say my experience within 5 minutes of using the Mini/Flex combo was worlds better than using canon's speed lights and wireless. My ratio of keepers and amazing photos while using flash has greatly increased. It might be good to note that with exception to AF and sync timing, I keep my camera and flashes in full manual mode. Your experiences may vary. --- UPDATE --- PocketWizard now includes Firmware v5.0 out of the box. No more need to upgrade to beta, it should work out the box for most purposes (unless you like to tweak). I've also tested my MiniTT1 in various conditions, including 30 second exposure to 1/4000 second exposure and pulled off some amazing shots. The 1/4000, F1.8, 100 ISO shot that was called "impossible" by a pro friend of mine - clearly not. Will see if I can post some samples. After 2 months, my satisfaction has only increased with these units. ... show more

they work great.. when they work. max range when coupled with the flex tt5 i've experienced is about 25 feet. they still work with the old pw's though. the design is awesome, they just need to solve the radio interference problem with the 580exII. the ability to synch all the way through the shutter range is incredible though, now I can do some stuff that I could never dream of - like shoot outdoors wide open at low ISO and get nice blurry backgrounds w/ off camera flash in direct sun! sweet! please please please fix the interference and reliability issues PW!!! ... show more
