[[File:FlexTT5+MiniTT1.jpg|right|400px|PocketWizard Canon MiniTT1 and FlexTT5]]Congratulations on your purchase of the PocketWizard MiniTT1® / FlexTT5® Wireless Photo Control System for Canon or Nikon DSLR cameras and flashes.  You can use the MiniTT1 Transmitter and FlexTT5 Transceiver to control single or multiple off-camera electronic or intelligent TTL flashes.  The PocketWizard ControlTL® System takes the complex TTL data being sent through the camera’s hot shoe and digitally interprets and transmits it as a reliable radio signal. You can now place TTL or manual flashes anywhere to illuminate the scene: Around corners, out-of-sight and in bright sunlight.  The MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 are compatible with any PocketWizard radio for triggering manual flash or remote cameras. 



The Canon-specific MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 radios work within the Canon E-TTL II system.

The Nikon-specific MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 radios work within the Nikon i-TTL / CLS system.

All references to TTL are exclusively for the electronic or intelligent TTL systems specific to Canon (E-TTL II) and Nikon (i-TTL / CLS) and not film TTL.

The terms Speedlite or Speedlight are used interchangeably throughout this wiki.



This wiki contains the latest information about the operation of your radios.  If you would like to download a PDF of this information, [[PocketWizard_Wiki:Books/MiniTT1_and_FlexTT5_Manual|click here]] and follow the instructions.
