	Using a remote camera lets you explore creativity and expand photographic coverage in unique ways. On location, remote cameras can be where you physically can't. Get shots no one else can by firing a remote camera at the same time you fire your main body. Two images, two perspectives, one photographer! In the studio, get out from behind the lens and really connect with your subjects.		Using a remote camera lets you explore creativity and expand photographic coverage in unique ways.

		+	To trigger a remote camera, you need at least one remote camera cable. If you want to trigger the camera by a handheld PocketWizard, you need a remote camera cable for each remote camera. If you want to trigger a remote camera from a handheld camera, you will need a cable for both cameras.
		+
		+	All of our current cables are stereo cables, with the capability to pre trigger the remote camera, depending on the radios you're using. These cables are also called -ACC cables.

 *'''-ACC Cable''' - Use this cable to remotely fire your camera. If you use a Plus III as a trnamsitter, you can use the Plus III’s exclusive 2-stage trigger to wake-up or focus your remote camera just like using the camera’s shutter release button.
-*'''-P Cable''' - This cable can remotely fire your camera and control half-press function at the camera’s position.  Use an –ACC cable for best results and to have half-press capability from a transmitting Plus III.

 ''Note: As of July 2013, we've replaced all -P cables with a Pre-Trigger Mono Miniphone (PTMM) Adapter.  This adapter works with an -ACC cable to convert it from an -ACC cable to a Pre-Trigger (-P) cable for pre-releasing your shutter.  So if you are looking for a -P cable and cannot find one, ask your local or online retailer for the appropriate -ACC cable and a PTMM Adapter and you'll be good to go.''
-These cables have a mono miniphone connector on one end and a camera-specific remote connector on the other. They also have a pre-release switch built into the cable itself. When the switch is engaged, the connected camera behaves as if its shutter button is held down half way. This lets the camera respond more quickly and consistently, but at the expense of battery life. Pre-release cables can be used with Plus IIs, MultiMAXes, and FlexTT5s set to Basic Trigger Mode.
+These cables have a mono miniphone connector on one end and a camera-specific remote connector on the other. They also have a pre-release switch built into the cable itself. When the switch is engaged (set to |), the connected camera behaves as if its shutter button is held down half way. This lets the camera respond more quickly and consistently, but at the expense of battery life. When the switch is turned off (set to o), the cable behaves like a Standard cable. Pre-release cables can be used with Plus IIs, MultiMAXes, and FlexTT5s set to Basic Trigger Mode. Note: when the switch is engaged, image review is not available on the camera until the cable is switched off.
