Used PocketWizard Plus II Auto Sensing Smart Transceiver #801-125

The Product came well wrapped and right on time and was in exactly the condition if not better than advertised, in better shape than my own units of the same age at a very fair price. A better price than I saw other Pocket Wizards selling on Craigslist.

-Used to light dance floor at wedding with Speedlights. Need to buy sturdier attachment to Speedlight. -Construction a bit weak.

Great for flash sync.

I use these to trigger my Photogenic monolights using Flex TT5 units on the camera. Works great. Fires almost every single time. Don't waste your money on a 'cheaper' solution as you will end up buying Pocket Wizard in the end.

Mostly weddings and portrait. Sure beats sync cords laying around. Having mobility to move away from lights is a real bonus. The one thing I don't like is no TTL functionality, you go manual with your speedlights. If you know what your doing this is not that big of a deal though.

Great product. Easy to use. Very reliable. My off camera strobes fire every time. Nothing bad to say.

Reliable signal receiver/transmitter. There's a reason they're the industry standard. Unfortunately, they're expensive and the build quality doesn't inspire much confidence, although I've never had one fail or break.

I have purchased two of the units. They are very reliable and simple to use. The batteries seem to last quite a long time. I use them in an in-home studio and they have worked flawlessly. I have used them in combination with a 7D, 5D Mark II, and 580EX II.

The triggers were easy to setup. They worked flawlessly right out of the box.

The triggers were easy to setup and use right out of the box. Remote flashes worked flawlessly.

I was tired of infrared syncing whereby other photographers would trigger my lights. No longer a problem with a pair of these units.

It is excellent in its use, but considering that a high price must be purchased separately, I think it must have a more economical cost at least $ 200 for two and [$] as is the original price.

If you're even looking at this product, you're already in the know. It's absolute perfection.

10X better than the last unit I was using.

Pocket Wizards are the industry-standard and I am very happy with my units. These are all-manual units and are triggered by the new TT5's but do not control flash power, etc. They are basic triggers that reliably do their jobs over and over again.

I use it as a receiver mostly, but sometimes I've used it as transmitter and it automatically sets itself. Very convenient.

I have been using PocketWizard and PocketWizard II's for a while. I have also bought into another good system that I was thinking about switching too. The other system was not as quick because it was using different parts in order to do one job. I just found that adding two items to do one job was a bit clunky, so I gave that system to my brother after I picked up a pair of PocketWizard Flex TT5's and was really impressed by the TTL system. The reason I was considering the switch to the other system, because I broke two of the PocketWizards. The first one, the base snapped when my light stand decided to collapse because the lock on the column failed, so it retracted. The other PocketWizard fell out of my camera bag when I was pulling out another unit. In both occurrences, it was less than 40 degrees outside where is at. The plastic with the PocketWizards seems to get brittle in the cold. I really wish they used a different plastic. That is my major con to the PocketWizards. These are great triggering devices, and really work over long ranges, but the plastic gets brittle in cold... I had a friend who managed to put the shattered pieces of plastic together and use the Duplicolor Truck Bed Coating that comes in a 16oz aersol can (about $10). Works so well, that I am thinking about do that to several other items and the rest of my pocket wizards. (Not the TT5) It does require some serious masking patience. The PocketWizards have been very reliable, and I have been able to place flash units into many nooks and cranny's without issues. Shooting weddings has also been great, I just use a few gels to match the lights in building, and then adjust my white balance, and voila, all is good, and the flash units don't disturb anyone, especially in restrictive Catholic Churches. I had only had an issue once, and that was because there was a big generator between me and the flash units. They so far have worked well in the rain and snow, but again, be aware of the plastic. I highly recommend them, nothing else seems to be nearly as reliable and quite of few companies are building the units into their equipment.

I use my 4 PocketWizard Plus II with Nikon SB-900 and 3 SB-600's. So much easier and reliable than using the Nikon Creative Lighting System.

These work great with my photogenic strobes. Haven't had a misfire yet. I use them in my studio all the time. The only bad thing I can say is that they are expensive in my book and to get them to work with strobes I had to buy adapters that are real expensive. To make it fire my 5D MK II I had to buy a motor drive cable which is real expensive. If you need to fire your strobes or camera remotely, these work every time. I have a seconic L358 with built in pocket wizard and it works seamlessly with the stobes and motor drive set up.

Its nice to be able to place this guy pretty much anywhere and know it will fire without worrying about line of sight, but I'd sure hate to drop one of these puppies on a very hard surface.

Once you go wireless, there is no going back. Great to not be tethered with sync cords. Must have for mobility when photographing portraits. Great product, would be nice if there was a sturdy carrying case for 2 or 3 of these so the antenna doesn't get broken

I find this product to be very reliable and easy to use.
