With its low profile design, you can use the Mini TT1 Transmitter on camera to trigger remote i-TTL / CLS speedlights or studio flashes attached to Flex TT5 Transceivers. Place TTL or manual flashes anywhere to illuminate the scene: Around corners, out-of-sight & in bright sunlight. The Mini TT1 is compatible with any Pocket Wizard radio for triggering manual flash or remote cameras. Control TL® Pocket Wizard’s newest firmware platform taps into the camera’s digital communications to enable an entirely new level of remote flash capability through our proven radio system. Control TL allows remote i-TTL for Nikon CLS / i-TTL systems as well as Manual Power Control. Control TL firmware is configurable & upgradeable for “future-proof” continuous improvement. Dedicated CLS / i-TTL Triggering Locking your Mini TT1 Transmitter into the hot shoe of a Nikon DSLR camera, & mounting CLS / i-TTL flashes onto Flex TT5 Transceivers gives you full flash exposure control with the freedom & reliability of a Pocket Wizard radio. There are no special settings to make or modes to call up. Use the camera’s flash exposure controls for basic control of remote flashes, or add an AC3 Zone Controller or Nikon Master unit for even more flexibility. Manual Power Control Adjust the manual power settings of your remote Nikon Speedlights directly from a AC3 Zone Controller, SB-800 or SB-900 flash mounted on your on-camera Mini TT1 or Flex TT5. You can independently control the power output of up to three remote groups of lights (you can have as many lights in each group as you want) from full power down to the lowest setting simply through the user interface on the back of the SB-800 or SB-900 or with the dials of the AC3 Zone Controller. Now you can work with total control with your remote lights, without leaving your shooting position. Nikon SU-800 Wireless Speedlight Commander may also be used. High Speed Sync (Auto FP) The Mini TT1 makes Nikon's FP/HSS mode a lot more functional with the freedom of radio. Now you can use your i-TTL speedlights in FP sync all the way to 1/8000 in the middle of the day in bright sun! Control TL gains faster recycling times & more flashes per set of batteries when shooting in Nikon's FP / HSS Flash mode. Use this feature to shoot wide open in bright sun for amazing results. Auto Trigger Select for Control TL The hot shoe on both the Mini TT1 & Flex TT5 will trigger just about any hot shoe flash placed into it in addition to the Nikon Speedlight's it is designed for. Yes, you can now fire just about any hot shoe flash including Vivitar, Canon, etc., in manual mode only & not TTL mode. Hyper Sync™: Our patent pending Hyper Sync technology allows photographers to achieve faster X-sync speeds, sometimes up to 1/8000 of a second, with full power flash. Now you can cut the ambient light & use wide-open apertures, outdoors in bright sunlight. Hyper Sync automatically adjusts the timing of your flash trigger so that faster than X-sync speeds can be achieved. With certain Canon camera & flash combinations, you can achieve sync all the way to 1/8000th of a second. Just imagine what you can do using flash in bright sun with wide open apertures & fast shutter speeds. Since Hyper Sync is a trigger function you can use any Pocket Wizard Receiver including the Flex TT5, Plus II or Multi MAX. Hyper Sync works with both TTL speedlites & full size studio flash. Please visit https://wiki.pocketwizard.com/hyper Syncfor configuring Hyper Sync. While performance varies by the camera & flash equipment being used, Hyper Sync will get the maximum possible out of any set-up. Hyper Sync™ Automation With Control TL Firmware Update 3.0 (Nikon) & 6.0 (Canon), configuring Hyper Sync has now been automated. Hyper Sync Automation adjusts Hyper Sync timing in two separate places – on the transmitter & on the receiving Control TL radio. The transmitting or on-camera Mini TT1 or Flex TT5 automatically adjusts Hyper Sync to compensate for changes made to shutter speed. Photographers can further refine Hyper Sync via the Pocket Wizard Utility. For more information on Configuring Hyper Sync Automation, visit the Hyper Sync section of the Pocket Wizard Wiki. High Speed Sync (HSS / FP Sync) Disable Mode Select either HSS Sync or Hyper Sync™ at shutter speeds above x-sync. This means that you can use Hyper Sync & the benefit of full power flash all the way up to 1/2000 with certain flash systems. Rear Curtain Sync Precise rear curtain sync capability is engaged using the camera's sync settings. Capture natural light trails with sharp exposures at the end – no “after trails!” Pre-Flash Boost Nikon flashes use a dual preflash system to calculate i-TTL exposure values. In many TTL situations, including shooting in full sun, over long distance or using diffusers or bounce flash, the normal pre-flash is simply not enough for the camera to see. Pocket Wizard's Pre-Flash Boost increases your remote Nikon flashes first preflash by three stops &, if necessary, the second preflash by one stop. The boost level can also be adjusted at the flash if necessary. Power Tracking When working with certain manual flashes, you can change any of your settings on your camera & the system adjusts for those changes. Change your camera's exposure compensation to adjust the flash output, or make adjustments in aperture or ISO & the system balances your flash for proper exposure. Built-in Hot Shoe Lock your Nikon flash into the Mini TT1’s dedicated hot shoe & combine your remote flash with on-camera flash or use the on-camera flash for additional CLS / i-TTL or Manual Power Control only. The metal & glass reinforced resin hot shoe assembly is a superstructure onto itself & incredibly durable. The best part; no more cords. Basic Trigger Mode Allows the Mini TT1 or Flex TT5 to work as a transmitter on ANY camera it will fit. Anyone looking for the small form factor of the Mini TT1 can use it on other DSLR’s, SLR’s or even medium format cameras with standard hot shoes. Pocket Wizard Compatible The Mini TT1 sends out two trigger signals; one on the new Control TL channels, & another on the same channels as all standard trigger Pocket Wizard radios so they will work with any unit you may already have. Pocket Wizard Utility
- Programmable & Upgradeable Use the supplied Pocket Wizard Utility software with the on-board USB (Universal Serial Bus) port to program the Mini TT1 to any Pocket Wizard channel & zone as well as many other custom settings. The Mini TT1 can be upgraded whenever updates & feature enhancements are available. Channels / Learn Mode The Mini TT1 has two channel configuration settings; C1 & C2. Each can be programmed as needed with up to 20 Control TL channels* for TTL photography or Manual Power Control, or 32 standard channels** for manual flash photography. Channels can be configured with the Pocket Wizard utility or use the Learn function to quickly program channels, or the reset function to configure back to factory settings.*- 20 Control TL channels for FCC/IC 344 MHz radios & three Control TL channels for CE 433 MHz radios.**
- 32 Standard channels for FCC/IC 344 MHz radios & 35 Standard channels for CE 433 MHz radios. Zone Control Add the AC3 Zone Controller on top of your Mini TT1 for Nikon & gain three zones of power control right from the camera’s position. Works in both auto/CLS/i-TTL & manual. Shut down an entire zone with the flick of a switch.AC3 Zone Controller sold separately. Speed Cycler with an AC3 Zone Controller Previously only seen with Pocket Wizard’s Multi MAX radios, this new mode is designed to rapidly cycle through multiple flash units fired individually in sequence. This allows photographers to fire a camera in sync with flashes faster than a single flash unit can recycle. It can also be used for triggering remote cameras sequentially. Speed Cycler is engaged on a transmitting Mini TT1 or Flex TT5 via the Pocket Wizard Utility. Speed Cycler mode requires an AC3 Zone Controller in the top hot-shoe of the on-camera Pocket Wizard radio. Zones A, B, & C will be triggered sequentially & individual zones can be disabled by setting the AC3’s Zone Switch to the off position. Both TTL & manual flash controls are supported. Flash Power Control without a Camer A Photographers can now take their AC3 & transmitting radio off-camera & use it to set power levels for any flash with a Control TL receiver, making it more convenient to use an optically triggered light meter, or control the power levels with just a Mini TT1/ Flex TT5 & AC3 in their hand while another photographer takes the pictures. Previously, an AC3 Zone Controller on a Mini TT1 or Flex TT5 needed to be on camera to send manual power levels to remote flashes. Now, when connected to a Mini TT1 or Flex TT5, manual power levels are transmitted to remote flashes when the TEST button is pressed even when the transmitter is off the camera. This affects both speedlights connected to receiving Flex TT5s & larger flashes like Alien Bees & Elinchrom RX units with Control TL receivers. Continuous Fast FPS Never before have you been able to shoot remote CLS / i-TTL non-stop in continuous high-speed mode. Fill the buffer! Nothing else comes close. Low-Profile Design The lay-flat design with integrated hot shoe & internal antenna keeps a very low profile on your camera. Powered by a CR2450 lithium coin cell battery.
