Congratulations on your purchase of the
new
PocketWizard
radio slave, the most
technologically advanced radio trigger for
lights or cameras. The PocketWizard
Plus
is
a digital radio system, with a
microprocessor in both the transmitter and
the receiver that activates an isolated
strobe or camera. With its advanced
digital signaling design, the
PocketWizard
Plus rejects most
atmospheric noise and can receive weak
signals without any degradation in
performance. Up to four photographers
can operate their PocketWizard Plus
remote triggers in the same space. The
PocketWizard Plus is
also compatible
with older 10 and 16 channel
PocketWizards.
