Attach one Plus X to your camera, another Plus X to a remote flash using an included cable, set both radios to the same channel & start taking pictures. The Plus X is compatible with all Standard Channel-capable Pocket Wizard transmitters & receivers, so it's the perfect companion for your existing radios & new flashes. 10 Standard Channels With the Plus X’s 10 Standard Channels you can work in your own “zone.” Claim your own channel for exclusive triggering when working with other photographers at crowded events. Use different channels for different setups or looks & select them simply & intuitively with the turn of a dial. & these 10 channels are compatible with every Pocket Wizard ever made* set to Standard Channels 1 – 10. (* radios of the same frequency) Backlit Channel Dial Setting channels is as easy as turning a dial. The backlit channel dial clearly displays the set channel & because the backlight consumes so little power, it stays on all the time for convenience. Internal Antenna The Plus X features a durable, side profile design with an unobtrusive, internal antenna minimizing visual obstruction between you & your subject. By utilizing an internal antenna, there’s no chance to kink or break it when on location. The total height of the transceiver & antenna is less than 4.2 inches, & it weighs only 4 ounces, including batteries. Easily Connected / Cable Port On your camera, the Plus X slides into the hot shoe with no cables required. For your remotes, it features one do-it-all miniphone (3.5mm or 1/8”) sync port. The miniphone connector is much more reliable than a PC connection & every Plus X comes complete with a miniphone-to-miniphone cable, a miniphone-to-phono (1/4" or 6.3mm) adapter for triggering the majority of modern flashes, & a miniphone to locking PC cable for triggering some remote speedlights or for using your Plus X on-camera when you can’t put it in a hot shoe. Other miniphone connector cables are available for major brands of lighting equipment in a variety of lengths. Dedicated remote camera triggering cables are also available for popular camera systems. Auto-Sensing Transceiver With our patented Auto-Sensing Transceiver Technology, the Plus X Transceiver is one smart radio. The Plus X will instantly & intelligently switch between transmitter & receiver modes keeping setup as simple as possible. The Plus X may be set to Transmit (Tx) only when needed. Auto-Relay Mode Our Auto-Sensing Transceiver Technology lets you trigger a remote camera in sync with remote flashes using only 3 Pocket Wizard radios: the one in your hands, a Plus X cabled to your remote camera, & the one connected to your remote flash. The Plus X cabled to your remote camera will receive a radio signal & trigger the camera’s motor drive, then switch to transmit mode & trigger your Pocket Wizard-connected remote flashes on the next channel up, all automatically. Start the sequence by simply pressing the TEST button of any Pocket Wizard transmitter in your hands. Remote cameras require motor drive cables. Find the correct cable for your gear using the Pocket Wizard Cable Finder. Status Indicator/ Battery Life Indicator The Plus X features a tri-colour LED status indicator that serves two functions. When the Plus X sends or receives a triggering signal, the LED will glow red. During normal operation, the indicator will blink a single green blink meaning it is operating normally & the battery life is above 50%. It will blink a double amber blink when the battery is below 50% but above 25% & it will blink three red blinks when the battery life is below 25% & it’s crucial to replace the batteries. Transmit Only Mode There are times when you only want your radio to transmit, usually when two or more photographers are sharing a set of lights. By enabling transmit only mode, you disable the receive & auto-relay functions to make sure all your radio is doing is transmitting.
