With its low profile design, you can use the Mini TT1 Transmitter on camera to trigger remote E-TTL speedlites 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 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 TTL for Canon E-TTL II systems as well as Manual Power Control. Control TL firmware is configurable & upgradeable for “future-proof” continuous improvement. Find more details on Control TL here. Dedicated E-TTL II Triggering Locking your Mini TTI Transmitter into the hot shoe of a Canon DSLR camera & mounting E-TTL II flashes onto Flex TT5 Transceivers gives you full autoflash 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, on-camera flash or flash commander controls for flash compensation, zone & ratio control. Manual Power Control Adjust the manual power settings of your remote Canon Speedlites directly from a AC3 Zone Controller, 580EX or 580EX II 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 with the dials of the AC3 Zone Controller or the user interface on the back of the 580 EX or 580 EX II flash. Manual Power Control also works with select studio lights when paired with Power ST4, Power MC2, or AC9/ Flex TT5. Now you can work with total control with your remote lights, without leaving your shooting position. Optimized HSS High Speed Sync takes Speedlite flash photography all the way to 1/8000th of a second sync. Control TL optimizes this amazing Canon feature & provides more light (which equals greater working distance), faster recycling times & more flashes per battery set when shooting in Canon's HSS/FP Flash mode. Use this feature to shoot wide open in bright sun for amazing results. Click here to watch a detailed video on Optimized High Speed Sync as narrated by Photographer Mark Wallace. 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 Sync for 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 or FP Sync) Disable Mode Select either HSS Sync or Hyper Sync™ at shutter speeds at or over 1/640. This means that you can use Hyper Sync & the benefit of full power flash all the way up to 1/8000 with certain flash systems. Optimized Rear Curtain Sync Precise rear curtain sync capability is engaged automatically, no buttons to press. Set the shutter speed at which rear curtain sync is engaged with the Pocket Wizard Utility. Capture natural light trails with sharp exposures at the end – no “after trails!” Pre-Flash Boost In some E-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. With Pre-Flash Boost, the pre-flash is two stops brighter. This will Approx. double the working distance of E-TTL II, compensating for the light loss when defusing or bouncing. Power Tracking When working with the Power ST4, Power MC2 & AC9/ Flex TT5 paired with compatible manual flashes, you can change any of your settings on your camera & the system adjusts for those changes. Change your exposure compensation to adjust the exposure or make adjustments in aperture or ISO & the system balances your flash for proper exposure. Zone Control Add the AC3 Zone Controller on top of your Mini TT1 & gain three zones of power control right from the camera’s position. Works in both auto/E-TTL II & manual. Shut down an entire zone with the flick of a switch. 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 Camera 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 Radios work a lot fast then infrared communications allowing you to shoot with remote flash in E-TTL as speeds close to your maximum frames per second. Never before have you been able to shoot remote E-TTL non-stop in continuous high-speed mode. Fill the buffer! Nothing else comes close. Built-in Hot Shoe Lock your Canon flash into the Flex TT5’s dedicated hot shoe & combine your remote flash with on-camera flash or use the on-camera flash for additional E-TTL II 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. The Mini TT1 & Flex TT5 are completely reverse compatible with all previous Pocket Wizards so they will work with whatever Pocket Wizards you already own. Pocket Wizard Compatible The Mini TT1 operates on the same channels as all other Pocket Wizards & will work with any unit you may already have. Pocket Wizard Utility

Automatic HSS Trigger Timing for Manual Flash This means that you can mix a manual flash with an E-TTL II flash in HSS/FP Sync shots at 1/640 & above with certain flash systems. 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 Canon Speedlite’s it is designed for. Yes, you can now fire just about any hot shoe flash including Vivatar, Nikon, etc., in manual mode only & not TTL mode. (max trigger voltage < 50V, use P2 port for up to 200V) Low-Profile Design The Mini TT1 Transmitter is the smallest Pocket Wizard ever, utilizing an internal antenna & common coin-cell battery. At just 2.3oz (65 grams) you barely realize it’s on the camera. Power Saver The Mini TT1 Transmitter will go to sleep 10 seconds after your camera does to conserve energy. Just touch the shutter button half way to wake both the camera & the Mini TT1. It works on the supplied CR2450 coin cell battery (or optional CR2354 for in the field options) that provide hundreds of hours of battery life.
