It's my understanding the advantage of the Mini TT1 and the Flex TT5 over the PW+3 is the TTL functionality, but what are the PW+3 advantages?

It has more radio channels than PocketWizard II which you may find in a wedding shooter situation or in pro sports event shooting situation--The PocketWizard Plus III gives you more channels and the flexibility to change channels easily--my favorite feature is the groups feature and you can set your lights into 4 different groups to trigger--this is super useful when setting up lighting in a studio situation.

In my experience, the main advantages of the PW+3, are the easy access buttons to change channels and zones. Also, it seems to be a more robust product. And, the PW+3, has much more universal usage, in the sense that it is not dedicated to a particular camera brand or system. This is important when you are shooting with a group, and you might be taking turns using the PW+3, or if someone decides to change camera systems, for example from Nikon to Canon or vice versa.

I my opinion there is not an advantage. I purchased the PW 3 because I can use them with studio strobes and non Nikon flashes without TTL capability.

Yes, there are a number of advantages: less space taken up on your pedalboard; less things to carry around; has other voltage options, including AC power (yes, AC), which was required for my Line 6 delay. I'm really glad I bought the T-Rex Chameleon.

The difference is you can only use the wt01 with 3/8 sockets because of the anvil end, it will have more torque, The DT01W model you can change the anvil end from 1/4 to 1/2 with the different attachments. If you do a lot of dash work go with the DT01W {light work} you can change the bits from torex to Phillips with ease and quick. You get the point. I ended up getting the 3 piece, Impact 3/8, impact driver for dash work and of course the flash light. From dewalt,traded the Makita plus cash but if you do it for a living it was Worth it.

This is the first one I purchased, so I am not sure the difference. I would think it has added enhancements. Check out the Withings site for more details.

IMO, the touch options are primarily a gimmick and actually impede workflow. I use the I4, medium and large at work and at home, respectively. They're great tablets and will last a long time, if not abused. I bought a Bamboo Pen and Touch, just to see if I would like touch options or incorporate them in into my workflow. I did not. My coworker has a PPT, medium. She keeps the touch features disabled. So, PPT and I4s are both great tablets, but the touch features don't really add any value, just keep that in mind while shopping for the right price.

The PIXEL KING TTL Flash Trigger is one of the few remote flash triggers that work with Sony, so you're kinda of limited. I had mine set up to control two Sony flashes, and was hard to synchronize them to make it work (at different flash power settings), but it did work. A single flash setup is more straight forward. I did did not test the shutter speed up to 1/8000 because my application did not require it. I assume it would though because the PIXEL KING transmits the Sony TTL info to its slave flash receiver. The other thing is that the PIXEL KING TTL Flash Trigger is one of the few triggers with the Sony flash mount. I also assume v1.04 should have no problem working with the PIXEL KING because its only a firmware upgrade more intended for lens compatibility. I think as long as the flash mount fit the camera body and the TTL info is passed between the camera transmitter and remote flash unit, it should work with 1/8000 setting. Hope this helps.

It will work with the flextt5. However remeber the PlusX is just a trigger and does not use TTL metering like the mini tt1 and flextt 5 can. It is just a light switch so to speak. You use your flash units in their manual mode and all the camera does is provide a command to flash the flashes. You would normally use your camera in the manual mode with a speed setting less than or equal to the sync speed of the camera and aperure set to provide the proper exposure.

Just recently purchased 4 tt5's, an AC3 and a mini tt1. Made sure all the TT5's were updated with latest hardware drivers using the Pocketwizard program. I LOVE the system. I mount the mini tt1 on camera set to proper channel, pop on the ac3, set my other flashes with the TT5's on A B and/or C and let her rip. I can turn off any group (A, B or C) at will to check the effect of the other flashes and then turn them back on and adjust any of them right from the camera.

Hi Jill,Thank you so much for this information. I was set on returning my Mio C520 because it didn't say the street name but the specifications mentioned that it did TTS. In any event, I am now keeping it. I was thinking about the Nuvi 250W with less features and more money, but I like the MIO C520 for the price. Thanks again.

I am waiting for a solid answer from a 5D3 user. For those who don't own a 5D3, please do not add to the confusion by saying practically "I guess so". Canon has changed the E-TTL digital interface and made several 3rd party flashes unable to work in E-TTL mode on 5D3. FYI.

I always have used gold one and i have already tried platinum. It seemed to have a different touch in the keyboard and the disply of the gold one is more clear for me. I prefer the gold one. Regarding fastness I could not see any difference

Yes and No. It will work IF you purchase separate sync ports for your speedlights. I know the 430 does not have a pc port and am pretty sure the 580 does not either. all you need to do is go to flashzebra or call them up and they can set you up with them. they are around $15 but will allow you to use the pocket wizards. Another important question is do you want to adjust your flash power by your camera or do you want to do it manually? Pocket wizard offers a ttl trigger for speedlights. The PWIII trigger you are asking about is a "dumb" trigger as it will only trigger your flashes and you will not be able to adjust the power or use your ttl functions with it. If you just want a trigger to fire your flashes I would recommend you save some money and get the new pocket wizard Plus X triggers. they are $99 vs $140. If you want to control the power of your flashes and or use the ttl functions I would recommend the Pocket Wizard Mini TT1 and Flex TT5 systems. you can read about each of these on the pocket wizard website.

Not sure about TtL but isn't anywhere as good as the Olympus dedicated flash which I bought to replace it.

Thanks for the info. I ended up keeping my 1st gen & doing the upgrade for $10. I love it! After using it the speaker seems like it would be worthless & it is very easier to adjust the volume anyway.

When I bought one it was referred to as TT 2013. I have seen it advertised as a TT version 5. Google search for TT 2013 and will show this one.

the two bodies are very very similar. they are functionally the same size, but it's a risk, as I'm not 100% sure the buttons and dials are all in the same spot. I'm trying to remember (it's been a while) but I think the jump from T1i to T2i is basically a better screen, but the same size, and a slightly faster FPS. If your willing to spend this much on a dive housing, it might make more sense to sell the t1i, and buy a t2i, to be 100% sure it works well.

Both are really great speakers. The mini is easy to carry and sounds great but the soundlink three is the best of the best and it sounds a lot better then the mini.
