Reliable / no problems

Pocket wizard working fine as always. Needed a third receiver for third strobe and to serve as a back-up & for remote camera. Using with Nikon cameras, Nikon flash, White Lightning Ultra and Dynalite strobe packs.

Compatible with all my gear. Always works.

Very versatile and has always worked. I have used this to fire speedlites and to trigger Novatron powerpacks. Nothing I have used before has been as simple and as predictable. Accessory cables allow this to work with everything. I even use a PC cable from Wista 4x5 viewcamera to this radio transceiver. This is backward compatible to my older Pocketwizard units I had bought used.

PocketWizad Plus X is a good reliable product

This is my second PocketWizard Plus X, and I wouldn’t have bought a second one if there was anything wrong with the first one. It just works!

I have used these PocketWizards for many years and have never had a failure. The only exception is my fault, forgetting to install fully charged batteries. Otherwise, they work great.

Wizard Plus

Great and easily usable. The only thing is that it does not come with any sort of reasonable strap to wrap around any part of the light. I had to buy my own velcro because the strap that comes with it is too short?

If you don't have the camera & lights with the built in transceivers, then this is definitely the route to go. Sturdy, long lasting and dependable transceivers.

Two Triggers - One adapter - Less Durable

Package comes with two mini-jack to PC only and one adapter for 1/4", which is useless if you plan to use them on some older model lights you're working with, like I do. NOW...I have to purchase two direct cables, 1/8" to 1/4" for $ so I can use them. (These use to come with the Pocket Wizards) I have owned the Plus II models of pocket wizards for years now and they have never, never let me down. They were built to withstand a lot of bumping around; overall, the Plus II's were a durable little piece of equipment. I purchased this new, PlusX two-pack for a special assignment I have coming up in a month when I'll be rigging extra lights....and I have to say, these two definitely do not have the same durable feel to them as my old ones. These are made of very light weight, thin, cheap plastic. All in all, they feel like they're not going to give me even half the life of my Plus II models. I'm afraid that if I drop one on a hard floor.....that's it! ADDITIONALLY, the booklet that comes with the Plus X two-pack indicates what comes in the box; saying it includes two 1/8" to PC cables, one 1/4" adapter and a mini-to mini cable....which it did not have, which is fine in my case because it wouldn't have helped me with my current connection requirements anyway. Overall, I'm a little disappointed. Funny thing is, I paid a lot more for these than my Plus II models. I could understand the price getting higher if the product was being built better but it's just the opposite. Sign of the times.

Reliable and worth it

I purchased an additional Pocketwizard to use with an earlier purchase. I really like the simplicity of this unit and plan on buying one more for a total of 4. I’ve used them with flash equipment and had great luck and reliability, and have also used them to trigger a remote camera. They work, are well made, and Adorama is great to deal with

Dependable and Efficient

Needed an extra radio for an event. Did not need the provision for grouping lights (ABCD), so this fit the need. The batteries last way longer in the Plus X, than the Plus III's I have when in Receive mode. Good thing.

Good, Butttttt....

The units work great with all types of Flash Units. The only thing about them I dislike is that they use AAA batteries and if left on overnight the batteries are dead the next day. Very surprised they did not build a "sleep mode" into the device.

By STEVEN L.

Needed an extra radio for an event. Did not need the provision for grouping lights (ABCD), so this fit the need. The batteries last way longer in the Plus X, than the Plus III's I have when in Receive mode. Good thing.

From the simplest radio system to the most advanced wireless technology, the PocketWizard Plus X Transceiver #801-229 - 2 Pack is your perfect entry into the world of professional photography. This compact, user-friendly, and high-quality device is designed to provide reliable and durable wireless triggering for your camera and remote flash.

The Plus X Transceiver is compatible with all Standard Channel-capable PocketWizard transmitters and receivers, making it an ideal companion for your existing radios and new flashes. With 10 Standard Channels, you can create your own exclusive triggering zone, even in crowded events. Switch between different channels for various setups or looks, easily and intuitively, with the turn of a backlit channel dial.

This device features a sleek, side profile design with an internal antenna, ensuring minimal visual obstruction between you and your subject. The internal antenna design also eliminates the risk of damage during on-location shoots. Despite its robust features, the Plus X Transceiver is incredibly compact, with a total height of less than 4.2 inches and a weight of only 4 ounces, including batteries.

Connecting the Plus X Transceiver is a breeze. On your camera, it slides into the hot shoe with no cables required. For your remotes, it features a versatile miniphone (3.5mm or 1/8") sync port. Each Plus X comes complete with a miniphone-to-miniphone cable, a miniphone-to-phono (1/4" or 6.3mm) adapter, and a miniphone to locking PC cable.

The Plus X Transceiver is equipped with patented Auto-Sensing Transceiver Technology, enabling it to intelligently switch between transmitter and receiver modes for a seamless setup. It also features an Auto-Relay Mode, allowing you to trigger a remote camera in sync with remote flashes using only three PocketWizard radios.

The Plus X Transceiver also includes a tri-color LED status indicator for signal transmission and battery life monitoring. It even offers a Transmit Only Mode for situations where multiple photographers are sharing a set of lights.

Despite its affordability, the Plus X Transceiver delivers the range and reliability that PocketWizard radios are renowned for. Its ultra-fast microprocessors ensure reliable sync speeds of 1/250 for focal plane shutters and 1/500 for leaf shutters.

The Plus X Transceiver is compatible with all PocketWizard transmitters and receivers, as well as PocketWizard-enabled photo gear from brands like Profoto, Dynalite, Norman, Photogenic, and Sekonic light meters. This compatibility ensures total flexibility with whatever lights or cameras you may be working with.

Like most PocketWizard radios, the Plus X Transceiver is proudly made in the USA, ensuring the highest quality and performance. Experience the difference with the PocketWizard Plus X Transceiver #801-229 - 2 Pack, your gateway to professional photography.
