Pocket Wizard compatiblity

13 years 2 months ago #31712 by Photo Mojo
I have a old Pocket Wizard II and would like to have the TTL functionality of the new Pocket Wizards, that from my understanding will work with TTL mode with Nikons now. So will the old Pocket Wizard I have be used as a receiver with a new Pocket Wizard FlexTT5 Transceiver radio slave? And still get TTL information to the flash that has the Pocket Wizard II hooked up to it?

They say "Triggers all pocket wizards" but they don't say if it does in TTL mode?

Good question. I just looked at their page also and it almost suggest the answer is yes, but they don't directly say the new model will work in TTL mode with the old? Have you called them yet?

My guess is yes, the new FlexTT5 is transmitting a signal, and I'm pretty sure the existing Pocket Wizards will take what ever code they get and fire the flash as the snood I'm TTL mode.

If you are shooting in manual flash mode the TT5 or TT1 Pocket Wizards will work with the Pocket Wizard II's. However if you are looking to fire your off camera flash in TTL mode you will need to have either another TT5 or TT1 on the flash unit it self. The new Pocket Wizard TT5 or TT1 will not communicate TTL information to a Pocket Wizard II.
