Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of PocketWizard PWP-TR 801-125 PLUS II Transceiver - Black
Customer Review: Industry Standard
Summary: 5 Stars
They're bulky, they're expensive, and all it does is send a single signal without fancy TTL or high speed sync, but I have never had a pocket wizard fail on me. A lot of studio strobes and light meters have pocket wizard modules with them as well. There are cheaper options out there and some may be very good as well, but it's like in the old days when they said "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM", this is true for pocket wizards as well.Customer Review: Cool, but study how to use it before you buy it
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a professional photographer who is just starting out. I wish this product explained to me in the online description that you need two of them to make it work.
I also didn't know anything about flash sync so the first wedding I used it for bombed.
All of that to say.... now that I know how to use it I'm stoked! Its a really cool "toy" and I'm sure it'll help me produce some rockin' images.
Customer Review: Excellent remote flash trigger
Summary: 5 Stars
Love em! Love em! Love em! I bought these because of all the problems reported with the Mini TT and Flex products when used with a Canon 580 EZII flash. They work great and I can reliably trigger to about 500 feet in my neighborhood. It's not the 1300 ft thats advertised but it is far more than I can forsee using for the distant future.
Great products. My only complaint is that they are a little large.

Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using this for about 3 months now and I believe its one of the best transmitter out there. You can use it both as a receiver or transmitter. The range is superior at 1600 ft, which means you can shoot around corners if need be. It is a bit bulky compared to the "Cactus" or "MicroSync" ones, but this one doesnt miss fire. I love it, once you go with this, you now have the best!Customer Review: Love it, but some problems with 580EX II.
Summary: 5 Stars
I did many tests with 580EX II and 430EX II. The 430 fired every time from up to 120 feet (didn't try any further than that). The 580 was less predictable. It fired 100% from within 20 feet, but beyond that I had to mess with the position of the transmitter to get it to fire. Putting the recevier 8 feet away from the 580 with a PC extension cable didn't help much.
