Hi guys,
I was reading that there were (upon release anyway) certain interference issues with the Pocketwizard Mini/Flex combo and the Einstein?
Was wondering if these issues have since been resolved?

Paul Buff wrote: I personally developed all the Einstein circuitry except for three minor low voltage power supplies to drive the uP, and control circuitry. These were developed by the consulting company, Technology Kitchen, Austin TX. It turns out these supplies present no EMI emission that interferes with our 2.4GHz Radio Remotes, but have been found to emit sufficient EMI in the 300MHz band to severely limit PW range. I finally acquired an excellent power supply/RF engineer two weeks ago and between us, in consultation with PW staff, have reduced the EMI emission to the point that PW range is extended to about 400' For Sale: 1D, T1i, 800mm, 600mm

Mar 23, 2011 06:38 | #4 ahhh, so you need the MC2 in conjunction with a FlexTT5 to remotely trigger the Einstein from a Mini? My name is Benon (BJWOK are my initials)

"The PowerMC2 Receiver enables photographers to remotely set power levels and control the modeling light from the camera when paired with an on-camera MiniTT1™ or FlexTT5™ PocketWizard ControlTL™ radio. With the PocketWizard AC3 ZoneController in the system users will have three zones of independent power control capability. The MC2 must be getting closer... it was added to the latest Einstein firmware update: Updates E640 for compatibility with Pocket Wizard Power MC2 remote (coming soon) For Sale: 1D, T1i, 800mm, 600mm

You will need to contact Pocket Wizard for that information. Einstein will ship this week. Wedding and Event Photography ∙ Orlando, Florida ∙ DSWfoto.com
