Works great, buy extra cords!

Works wonderfully for what it does. Only hiccup is my cord died after a bit of use and now I have to buy replacements.

Great and works with Sony!

I have a Sony and was trying to find something to work with all my various brand of lighting. I kept hearing Sony did not work with Pocket Wizard. Well indeed they do work. This particular model works great. I recommend the PocketWizards. I have used them with my old Nikon and the first model of PWs. Great additions to my inventory.

Pocket Wizard

Great product

By OSCAR B.

I have used transceivers form PocketWizard for many years. I have always trusted this brand.

1. PocketWizard Plus IIIe Transceiver

The FCC Plus llle Transceiver is the most reliable, feature-packed, easy-to-use solution for remote flash and camera triggering available. It comes with PocketWizard's enhanced firmware, the E Release, factory installed to deliver incredible range and enhanced reliability right out of the box for when you can't miss a shot. You will need at least 2 radios, one to use as a transmitter to trigger and one to use as a receiver. Plus IIIe are Auto-Sensing Transceivers and will automatically function as either a transmitter, a receiver, or both.

The Plus IIIe offers:

• Incredible Range and Rock-Solid Reliability: Trigger off-camera flash(es) and/or remote camera(s) from remarkable distances even in challenging environments

• Huge Number of Channels: Great radio reception without interference, select from 32 E Channels and in Long Range (LR) Mode, select from 80 LR Channels

• Flexible Triggering with Four Zones on Every Channel: Activate or deactivate remote flash(es) and/or camera(s) in groups or individually controlled Zones

• Universally Compatible with Most Cameras and Flashes: Use with virtually any camera via hot shoe or PC port and flash via sync connection

• E Release Firmware Factory Installed: Benefit from ground-breaking new technology with enhanced reliability right out of the box

Important information: PocketWizard Plus IIIe is fully compatible with PocketWizard E Series radios that have the E Release firmware. To communicate with a non E Series PocketWizard radio, like a PlusX or Plus II, or with another Plus III radio that has not been upgraded, the unit can be downgraded to Legacy firmware quickly and easily and upgraded again to the E Release as often as you like using the PocketWizard Utility.


Compatibility:

Compatible for use with industry standard hot shoes, PC sync terminals, etc. Safe 3 volts sync voltage for modern digital camera systems.

Compatible with most flashes and triggering circuits. Can handle up to 300 volts. See our cables and adapters section for appropriate connecting cables.

2-Stage triggering works as expected for most modern cameras when using an ACC cable. A few exceptions are detailed below:

Plus III Operational Considerations:

• Nikon Cameras with MC-DC2 ports do not provide half-press, or full press output through the MC-DC2 port. This means that any camera using an N-MCDC2-ACC cable won't be able to provide the "half press your remote camera from the camera in your hand" operation when using the shutter release button. This affects the following cameras:
D90
D7000
D5100
D5000
D3100

Note: This does NOT impact half-press or full-press INPUT to the camera, as this works just fine with the N-MCDC2-ACC cable on a remote camera.

• Nikon Camera's with a MC-DC1 port using an NM4-ACC cable does not provide "half-press" output, but it does provide "full-press" output. This affects the following cameras:
D70s
D80

• Compatible with flashes up to 300 Volts.


2. PocketWizard G-Wiz Squared Bag
