[ NEW ] Introducing the PocketWizard Plus III

PocketWizard Plus III transceiver officially announced

PocketWizard announced the launch of the PocketWizard Plus III radio triggers, and a new microsite to help you explore all of the new features.

Summary details:
The PocketWizard Plus III Transceiver is the most reliable, feature-packed, easy-to-use solution for remote flash and camera triggering available. The Plus III Transceiver features an impressive 32 channels. Whether you’re a wedding or sports shooter or working in a busy studio, finding a clear channel is never a problem. Selective Quad-Zone Triggering, a feature once reserved for elite photographers, adds four zones enabling photographers to remotely trigger flash and or cameras in groups or individually. For photographers being asked to do more for less, this added flexibility is a huge competitive advantage.

Whether new to remote triggering of camera’s and flashes or a top professional pushing gear to the limits, the Plus III’s reliability, simplicity and performance make it the perfect tool for the job. The Plus III is the new standard of excellence.

Below you’ll find a great video with Mark Wallace taking you through all the important features of the Plus III in just under seven minutes. You can also see the video on Vimeo.

So, what’s new?

• “Selective Quad-Zone Triggering” – a fancy name for wireless flash grouping, bringing the effective number of channels from four to 32. Four groups or “zones”: A, B, C and D.
• Two-stage test button allows you to wake-up/autofocus remote cameras before tripping the shutter. PocketWizard are one of the last manufacturers to implement this feature, which is now standard in most other triggers on the market.
• Backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, like the MultiMax
• Repeater mode
• Long range mode – increasing effective working distance at the expense of sync speed
• “Auto-Relay mode” – synchronise a remote camera with remote flashes
• Mini USB port for firmware updates and settings adjustment
• The aerial protrudes less
