different model pack. Old packs
may be incompatible because of

SUSTAINING HIGH
PERFORMANCE
Sustaining long distance performance from your
PocketWizard Plus depends on the orientation
and position of the units.
Keep a line of sight between the transmitter and
receiver. Make sure the units are far from any
large metal, concrete, or water-filled objects.
☛
NOTE: People and trees are mostly water!
Receivers can be mounted to flash packs using
Velcro tape or with the 1/4-20 threaded insert. You
must mount the receiver so that the antenna is
completely above the top edge of the pack. Avoid
any contact between the antennas of the units and
anything metallic.
Occasional "dead spots" are caused by a number
of different things, but the solution is almost always
the same - Move the unit a few inches to one side
or the other. Again, try not to put the units behind
concrete, metal, or hills.
