Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of PocketWizard PWP-TR 801-125 PLUS II Transceiver - Black
Customer Review: Brilliant, but pricey!
Summary: 4 Stars
There's not much to say about this unit. As a multi-function flash-sync remote & camera trigger remote it just works. Haven't had reason to test it's claimed 1600ft range but I'm sure it does exactly what it says on the tin.
My only slight gripe is with the price. Unless you're fortunate enough to have gear with a compatible receiver built in, you're going to need at least two of these puppies - and at $200 a pop, that starts to get a little pricey for what it is! If you can afford it, however, it does what it does flawlessly.
Customer Review: Great Product... but overpriced
Summary: 4 Stars
Pocket Wizards are great and they are the industry standard, which means most pros use them. I own a single pocket wizard, because I only need it when I'm shooting at shared studios or on-location where lights are already provided, and my PW serves as a TX not RX. For my personal lighting setup, I prefer the less expensive and very reliable Cybersync RX and TX from Paul C. Buff (Alien Bees). They are 1/3 the cost of Pocket Wizards.
Long story short, every photographer should own at least one of these.
Customer Review: Reliable!

Previously I owned a Calumet brand transceiver. That brand failed over time by not firing when releasing the shutter, and being finnicky about which light it was mounted to. Then the back silver part where you plug in the cord became loose and fell out. I bought this PocketWizard set and WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Fires every time. Period. Good construction, longer antennae, far less worries about the angle of the camera vs. where the transceiver is fixed on the light. Excellent buy. I will never buy another brand again.Customer Review: it's huge so everyone can see you have a pocketwizard

i give it a 5 stars because it does work as advertised. and that lots of the photo club that i joint uses it. i didn't own a studio and my only purpose is for the photo clubs. Also, if you are just looking for remote triggering a speed light, you don't really need this. you'll need two of these to do that and will cost you over 300. getting some other really cheap brand will do the trick too. i got some no brand wireless triggers for only 30 bucks!Customer Review: Great Product

What a great product. I've waited a long time for Pocket Wizard to come out. You have know idea how troublesome it is to have a cord being dragged around with you all the time, to get you're flash or meter reading. I believe that this product was made by Minolta, but I'm not sure. But, it's a great receiver. The only issue I had with this product, was the cost. Quit expensive, for what you get. Thank goodness there was a rebate on Amazon.
