PocketWizard PlusXe Transceiver, 2-Pack

An essential tool for photographers seeking seamless wireless control, the PocketWizard PlusXe Transceiver, 2-Pack, is the latest innovation in the E Release family of radios. This advanced transceiver offers the flexibility to operate using either the new E Release firmware protocol or the trusted Legacy firmware, ensuring 100% backward compatibility with all PocketWizard-enabled products, as well as the Raven by Fusion TLC. The PlusXe stands out with its user-friendly design, allowing you to switch between firmware versions directly on the unit, eliminating the need for a computer or additional software.

Designed for simplicity and efficiency, the PlusXe is the easiest PocketWizard radio to use, making it an ideal entry point into the PocketWizard Wireless System. To get started, simply attach one PlusXe to your camera and another to a remote flash using a flash sync cable, set both units to the same channel, and begin capturing stunning images. Additionally, you can trigger your camera remotely by connecting the appropriate remote camera cable.

The PlusXe offers 10 channels, providing you with the ability to work in your own "zone" and claim a channel for exclusive triggering, especially useful in crowded environments with multiple photographers. These channels are compatible with every PocketWizard ever made, set to Standard Channels 1-10, and can utilize either Legacy Channels 1-10 or E Release Channels 1-10. The backlit channel dial ensures easy channel selection, with a low-power backlight that remains on for convenience.

Featuring a sleek, durable design, the PlusXe includes an internal antenna that minimizes visual obstruction and eliminates the risk of damage during shoots. The transceiver's compact size, with a total height of less than 4.2 inches and a weight of just 4 ounces including batteries, makes it highly portable. The PlusXe connects effortlessly to your camera via the hot shoe, requiring no cables, and offers a versatile miniphone (3.5mm or 1/8") sync port for remote connections. Additional miniphone connector cables are available for major lighting equipment brands, along with dedicated remote camera triggering cables for popular camera systems.

Equipped with patented Auto-Sensing Transceiver Technology, the PlusXe intelligently switches between transmitter and receiver modes, simplifying setup. It can also be set to Transmit (Tx) only when necessary. The Auto-Relay Mode allows you to trigger a remote camera in sync with remote flashes using just three PocketWizard radios, streamlining your workflow. The tri-color LED status indicator provides real-time feedback on signal transmission and battery life, ensuring you are always informed of the unit's status.

For scenarios where transmission is the sole requirement, the PlusXe offers a Transmit Only Mode, disabling receive and auto-relay functions to focus solely on transmitting. Known for its range and reliability, the PlusXe delivers the performance expected from PocketWizard products, with ultra-fast microprocessors enabling reliable sync speeds of 1/250 for focal plane shutters and 1/500 for leaf shutters.

Compatible with all PocketWizard transmitters and receivers, including PocketWizard-enabled gear from Profoto, Dynalite, Norman, Photogenic, and Sekonic light meters, the PlusXe integrates seamlessly into your existing setup. Whether using Legacy or E Release firmware, the PlusXe ensures total flexibility with any lights or cameras you choose to work with, making it an indispensable addition to your photography toolkit.
