I use 4 pocket wizards in studio for portrait photography and remote camera triggering. They are lightweight,very reliable and easy to configure out of the box. I plan to use them for sports photography with the purchase of some heavy duty strobes.

Pocket Wizard Plus II works perfectly, you have to work manually with it, But it's really easy to use...
I would recommend if you need someone to trig your
flash, i use it with 2 Flash 580 EX II from Canon, and its works..
Really good stuff at all

Do yourself a favor & do not waist your money on any other triggering sytem, but pocket wizards. If you canot afford them at the moment your better off using chords while you save for these.IMHO

Never had a missfire yet. Work great. The more you use them the more of them you want.

Thus far, they're everything everyone has said they are.

I needed something I could use for second shutter and long exposures besides an optical slave. Of the things I found this was the only unit that came close. Fortunately, with the MultiMax and a couple of Plus units I found my answer. It's expensive, but it's worth it. Besides, what decent camera gear isn't expensive?

Just what I was needing for my studio lighting. It was recommended to me by a friend and I would defintely pass on the advice to invest in one.
from San Diego, Ca on 2/21/2008
The supplied sync cord from the Pocket-Wizard II to the light (mono bloc) unit doesn't work for many manufactures lighting products. You must locate the information that is needed in order to buy the correct sync cord. Once you have all of the equipment necessary to use the remote firing units, then everything works very well. So far I have used the Pocket-Wizards everyday for about a month and I haven't had a problem with miss or no firing of the lighting unit.

Most reliable system on the market, but expensive for what it really is. The right tool, and sometimes the only tool, for the job.

needless to say, when you get the most reliable radio trigger in the world, you will feel worry-free for triggering lights.

I love to bring my studio light with me when I have to photgraphy a wedding. The pocket wizard has enabled me to give my clients wonderful images of ther reception place and more... Perfect fit and relialble workflow with my camera and flash.
from Ft. Lauderdale on 9/26/2007
This is a rock solid accessory. No messy sync cables. Worked great with my Canon camera and Elinchrom studio flash set up.
from Colorado on 9/26/2007
Pocket wizards are excellent triggers for just about every lighting situation. I've never had a problem with one yet - a must have for any studio.
from Weston, FL on 9/26/2007
I have two DSLR and I am using it on my extra body. no more change the pocket-wizard.
from Kingsville, Ohio on 9/10/2007
I was looking for a remote triggering system more reliable than the Nikon Cantankerous Lighting System (CLS), which uses infrared. So I shelled out [$]for four of these units.First off, the cords are really cheesy. Come on, for [$]a pop, give us a better cord. No, a coiled cord costs another [$].The units seemed to work O.K. at my first wedding, until it came time for the garter and bouquet toss, and the unit would not fire. Just locked up and refused to trigger the strobes, which were about 40 feet from the camera.Got some great underexposed shots, made useless by the high noise of the Nikon D200.Can't any manufacturer get this wireless thing right? I am still looking for something that works 100 percent of the time, especially at weddings.
from Endicott, NY on 7/10/2007
This product is small, lightweight and easy to use. It has consistant performance and reliability.
from Raleigh, NC on 5/8/2007
This device has yet to let me down. Exactly what you'd expect for professional use: consistent & reliable execution. Would've loved MultiMAX units, but weren't available.
from Milwaukee, WI on 5/8/2007
Awesome product. Very fast and reliable.
I only wish the construction was a bit better. Feels cheap but it is not.
Hate the on/off button.
Other than that, I highly recommend it!

Say goodbye to those unreliable sync cords that just get in the way. The pocket wizards gives you freedom to move about and never worry about missing a shot.

I USE THIS ITEM WITH MY BOWENS AND THE RESULT IS VERY GOOD????
