As with other PocketWizard radios, you can use the MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 to trigger a remote camera. The radio on your remote camera can be any receiving PocketWizard.

If you’re using a FlexTT5 as the radio on your remote camera, make sure to use the appropriate -ACC cable. You can use a normal or pre-release cable for remote cameras triggered by standard PocketWizard radios (see the Special Note below for using standard or -P cables with the FlexTT5).  Click here for the PocketWizard Cable Finder to find the cable specific to your camera and flash.

Step One
Attach a FlexTT5 to the remote camera’s hot shoe. Use an -ACC remote camera cable to connect the camera port (P1) on the FlexTT5 to your camera’s motor drive release terminal.


  










Step Two
Make sure to set the same channel on the receiving FlexTT5 on your remote camera and the transmitting PocketWizard radio. The transmitting PocketWizard radio can be triggered with the TEST button or attached to a camera in your hands.

Step Three
Press the TEST button on the transmitting PocketWizard radio or fire the camera in your hands. The remote camera will trigger at the same time.

If you slide a flash into the hot shoe of the remote camera's  FlexTT5, it will fire to provide light for the exposure. The flash can be set to fire for E-TTL or manual. Click here to learn how to use Relay Mode to fire remote flashes in sync with a remote camera.

REMOTE wake up of camera using a MultiMAX as a transmitter.

Using the MultiMAX transmitter enables you to remotely wake up a camera when it is connected to a FlexTT5 via an -ACC cable.  Make sure your MultiMAX and FlexTT5 are set to transmit and receive on any Standard Channel between 17 and 32.

Toggling on the “A” Zone from the MultiMAX wakes up the remote camera connected to the FlexTT5 on Zone A.  When the Zone is toggled ON, the camera behaves the same as it does when the camera’s shutter release is continuously half-pressed.   The camera will respond more quickly and consistently, but it will also consume batteries faster.

Toggling OFF the “A” Zone button lets the remote camera go to sleep to save camera battery power.

Special Note:  You can use a standard cable like the CM-N3 or a -P cable like the CM-N3-P.  To do so, you must set the FlexTT5 to either Bottom Shoe Disable or Basic Trigger Mode.  Using these modes you can also trigger camera models other than Canon with the FlexTT5 for Canon.
