CANON
| 430EX: | Full feature compatibility |
|
| Range limited due to RF interference from flash only when connected to a remote FlexTT5. |
| 430EX II: | Full feature compatibility |
|
| Excellent range performance with this flash |
| 580EX: | Full feature compatibility |
|
| Range limited due to RF interference from flash only when connected to a remote FlexTT5. |
| 580EX II: | Full feature compatibility |
|
| Range limited due to RF interference from flash only when connected to a remote FlexTT5. |
| 270EX: | Can be used on the MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 (Tx or Rx) in ETTL mode. |
|
| Range slightly limited due to RF interference from flash only when connected to a remote FlexTT5. |
| 550EX: | Full feature compatibility |
|
| Excellent range performance with this flash |
| 420EX: | Full feature compatibility |
| 220EX: | Can be used on FlexTT5 as a receiver in E-TTL mode only |
|
| Cannot be used on MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 as a transmitter |
|
| NOTE: This flash performs better if an OC-E3 cable is used. |
METZ
| 48 AF-1: | Can only be used if pre-flash boost is disabled. |
| 58AF-1: | Can only be used if pre-flash boost is disabled. |
NISSIN
| Di866: | Can only be used if pre-flash boost is disabled. |
| Di622: | Can only be used if pre-flash boost is disabled. |
Notes: A control was added to the Misc Tab in the PocketWizard Utility called “Top Shoe Detection Mode.” To use a Nissin Di866 or Di622 for Canon this control must be set for “Nissin Flash.” Most features of these flashes are supported.
These flashes may only be used on a remote FlexTT5 used as a receiver. They are not compatible as on-camera MASTER flashes.
Note: The Di866 Mark II and Di622 Mark II are currently not compatible.
For full feature compatibility, the latest firmware should be used. Click here to download.
NOTES ON OVERALL SYSTEM PERFORMANCE:
1. Canon Speedlite models 580EX and 580EX II, and especially the 430EX (not the 430EX II), emit RF interference that can substantially reduce the effective operating range of many radio slaves, including the FlexTT5. For these model flashes, please utilize the mounting suggestions on Page 30 of the original Owner’s Manual to optimize range.
Using Canon’s Off Shoe Cord OC-E3 to separate the flash from the FlexTT5 greatly improves range (4 – 5x). Adding a ferrite choke on the cable near the flash increases range similarly. Placing the FlexTT5 above the flash by 18” or more, and angled as pictured in the manual on page 30, improves reception dramatically. All three of these simple solutions combined provide the best reception.
The Canon 430EX II and 550EX do not emit significant RF interference. These flash models provide the best range performance. The 420EX, 270EX and 220EX are somewhere in-between the “quiet” flashes and the “RF noisy” models and may perform acceptably. All Speedlites can benefit from the suggested techniques as they provide the best opportunity for optimizing your lighting and your radio reception independently.

2. HyperSync™ performance varies by camera. Although all cameras listed will have some HyperSync benefit, some will not achieve 1/400 or 1/500.
3. Normally, a shutter release occurs after first pressing the shutter button halfway to establish focus and exposure. If the camera is in sleep mode and the shutter release is pressed all the way down without first establishing focus and exposure, the first exposure may not be proper.
NOTES on specific cameras:
1. When remote triggering the 30D camera, it must be set to “Auto Power Off – Disable” otherwise once camera sleeps, trigger will not work.
