Please be sure to check camera compatibility below before purchasing.
You will need at least 2 radios with E Release Firmware.
Each radio requires its own Firmware License.
The E Release upgrade is not available for the MiniTT1 at this time.
You can use a FlexTT5 as a transmitter in place of the MiniTT1.
This license is for an FCC frequency (North or South America) Transceiver. If your radio says "CE" on the label,
please purchase a CE license instead.
Important information: Please make sure you enter your email address correctly at checkout. The license(s) will be assigned to that email address. After purchase, you will receive a confirmation email from *LPA Design* (PocketWizard's parent company) with further instructions. The upgrade is completed through the PocketWizard utility via a USB connection with a computer, either a PC or Mac. It cannot be done on a smartphone or tablet. You will need a mini B to USB data cable for the upgrade. An upgrade must be purchased for each radio and will be assigned to the radio's serial number upon installation. Once assigned, it is non-transferable.
What you need to know
Compatibility
Camera Compatibility:
Please scroll down on this page for the compatibility chart. You will find 4 categories:
TTL Compatible: This means you can use the radios as transmitters or receivers with full TTL communication.
Not Currently Compatible* (as a transmitter): this means you cannot use the radio as a transmitter for TTL but it can be used as a receiver with TTL if you use a Raven by Fusion TLC as the transmitting radio.
TTL Compatible** (as a receiver): This means you will have full TTL communication when you use the radio as a receiver if you use a Raven by Fusion TLC as the transmitting radio.
Basic Trigger Only - no TTL: This setting in the Utility is available with Legacy firmware only. It uses just the center pin trigger and is compatible with virtually any camera on the market. The camera must be able to trigger with a single sync pin through the hot shoe. There are a couple cameras (the original Canon T7 and SL3) that do not have a center pin. PocketWizard radios cannot work with those units. The camera's hot shoe must be active. If you have any trouble, please see this Wiki page.
Flash Compatibility:
The radios are TTL compatible with the following Nikon flashes:
Nikon SB-5000
Nikon SB-910
Nikon SB-900
Nikon SB-800
Nikon SB-700
Nikon SB-600
Nikon SB-500
Nikon SB-400
PocketWizard Compatibility:
A unit upgraded with the E Release is compatible only with other PocketWizard radios that have also been upgraded. Be sure to use the same generation of E Release firmware-either the newest versions which may be in Beta or the lowest firmware numbers available in the Utility.
Once you update to the E Release firmware, the unit is licensed forever. It can be downgraded to Legacy PocketWizard firmware at any time for use with your other PocketWizard radios. Re-upgrading to E Release can be done at any time with minimal effort.
