Trigger Lighting Effects Remotely with a PocketWizard Plus II

The PocketWizard Plus II is a great way to trigger camera lighting remotely. A transmitter inside the PocketWizard will send a signal to your camera that will trigger a flash or similar effect. You can explore some of the features of the affordable PocketWizard Plus II and find the right one for your needs on eBay.

This version of the PocketWizard is the second iteration from LPA Design. It includes several features that can make it both simple and convenient to use during your photography sessions. Some common features you'll come across during your search are:

• Plug-and-play support - The device is ready to go after you power it on; choose the channel you want and connect it to your flash cable.
• Flexibility - You can switch your PocketWizard Plus II between its transmitter or receiver modes as needed. This option provides you with great flexibility in the field.
• Automatic relay - The auto-relay feature lets the PocketWizard Plus II trigger more than one camera at a time and sync each one to a remote flash.
• Channel switching - You can use channels to trigger all your lights at the same time, but you can also isolate each one if you have a complex arrangement.

The PocketWizard Plus transceiver is designed to work in tandem with your camera's hot shoe attachment. There are various other ways to mount the transceiver depending on your situation. You may wish to mount it on a light stand during normal operations. Some of the steps you can take to mount your PocketWizard Plus II are:

• Brackets - This mounting hardware should allow you to attach your PocketWizard to a light stand. You may wish to do this when you need to use the transceiver across multiple accessories.
• Hot shoe - The PocketWizard includes a locking ring that you can attach to your camera's hot shoe. This ring is designed to provide the transceiver with a snug fit.
• Lanyard - You can hang the PocketWizard Plus II on a lanyard to make it portable.

The PocketWizard Plus II has a few buttons you can use to control entire lighting systems. You can use these buttons to check the status of the devices connected to the transceiver, switch between one of four channels, or test the connections between the PocketWizard and your lighting accessories.
