Triggering a remoTe Camera
A Plus II Transceiver, paired with any PocketWizard Transmitter, can be used to
trigger a remote camera. The camera needs to have an electronic shutter release
connection and have a compatible PocketWizard motor drive cable available.
Please visit www.PocketWizard.com to determine the correct motor drive cable.
Basic Remote Camera Setup
1. Connect a Plus II Transceiver's
CAMERA / FLASH port to the motor
drive port of the camera using a
PocketWizard motor drive cable.
2. Make sure the Plus II Transceiver
and the hand-held PocketWizard are
set to the same channel and turned on.
3. Press the TEST button on the hand-held
PocketWizard to trigger the remote camera.
You can have a flash directly connected to the remote camera. Connecting a flash to the
FLASH port of the Plus II Transceiver will not work in this setup. See NOTE 3.
relay mode
You can trigger a remote flash in sync with your remote camera. This is called
relay mode and requires only 3 PocketWizards. Here is how it works:
• You press TEST on a PocketWizard that you are holding in your hands.
• The Plus II Transceiver connected to your remote
camera receives the signal and triggers your camera.
• The Plus II Transceiver switches to transmit mode,
one channel higher, and waits for the camera to
provide a sync pulse.
• The PocketWizard connected to your flash receives
the camera's sync pulse and triggers your flash.
