-Duck- my head is usually in the way  More info | Jul 03, 2017 20:48 | #16 Personally I hate all this "proprietary this" and "proprietary that" crap. Specially in group events or workshops where everyone has different gear. Nothing plays nice with anything and it becomes a challenge just to find the right combinations for people to use the equipment. That's why I like 'dumb' triggers with manual controls the best. No need to worry about compatibility issues. "If you didn't learn something new today, you wasted a day."

There is also the problem of frequencies and the Canon uses 2.4GHz and PW uses 344MHz/433MHz.

No need to worry about compatibility issues. If only they would settle on one "standard" for everything. Wouldn't that be great? If only... (heavy sigh) I still keep plain old pocket wizards Plus IIs for that. Now I have sold my ABs and have Godox lights. For my classes I picked Canon, Nikon and Sony versions of their X1 transmitters. They are only $50 a piece and nothing needed on the Rx side. I am happy. Fuji XT-1, 18-55mm

If the later I'll buy one when I get some rats. If not I'll wait until I buy a camera that the ttl5 flex and ttl1 mini doesn't work with. If it speaks the canon rt that will allow rt with non canon lites like my Elinchrom Unless you are using multiple brands of flashes, why would you want to use a Pocket Wizard Flex with a Canon 600 EX-RT?

I use it to trigger my Quadras using a Canon 600 EX-RT as the transmitter. Of course you can also use the ST-E3-RT. Naturally no TTL control of the Quadras, but they fire without the need for separate transmitter rigged to the camera along with the on-camera flash. The Laso will also 'transform' the older Canon 580 flashes, allowing remote TTL or manual control over the Canon RT system.

Mike ugly when I'm sober  More info | Aug 10, 2017 04:46 | #23 I'll be getting a TT6 today - I already have a bunch of TT5 receivers and so it makes no sense for me to dump them all and fork out for another system. www.mikegreenphotography.co.uk
