PocketWizard Announces FlexTT5 and MiniTT1 for Nikon Cameras
Posted by Lee Yuan Sheng in "Digital Home Hardware & Accessories" @ 01:00 PM
"PocketWizard, the industry leader in wireless control and synchronization of cameras, flash and light meters, demonstrates its MiniTT1 Transmitter and FlexTT5 Transceiver for the Nikon DSLR camera system. Sales are expected to start in fourth Quarter 2010."
PocketWizards have been used by many pros to trigger their flashes wireless, but the downside is that you lose TTL flash metering; you'll need to manually calculate the flash and camera settings. PocketWizards released a new series of transmitters to allow TTL flash metering to be used, but they were only available for the Canon system, with Nikon compatible transcievers "coming soon". Well, looks like "soon" is now. I'm curious to find out if the TTL system works better than the crappy CLS system...
