+
All PocketWizard radios can be used with most of the Canon cameras. However, the Canon T7i and SL3 lack the main center contact pin on the hot shoe. PocketWizard radios, like most transmitters, rely on this signal from the camera. With these cameras, a transmitting PocketWizard will not be able to send out a trigger to a remote PocketWizard for flash sync. However, you can use a remote camera cable connected to a receiving PocketWizard and the camera to remotely trigger the camera from a transmitting PocketWizard radio.

Latest revision as of 07:18, 6 April 2022

IMPORTANT NOTE: This section contains compatibility information for the Canon MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 ControlTL radios. For TTL, HSS, and/or power control with newer Canon bodies, starting with the 1Dx Mark II and including mirrorless cameras, you may need to use a FlexTT6 or Raven by Fusion TLC as a transmitter. Please check the compatibility table below for details.

Current Firmware

The latest Legacy firmware version available for the Canon MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 is 6.905.

MiniTT1s and FlexTT5s can be updated to this version via the PocketWizard Utility.

Camera Compatibility

The MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 for Canon are compatible with these Canon digital cameras capable of using Canon's latest E-TTL II protocol. If you have a newer camera body not listed here, you may need to use a FlexTT6 or a Raven by Fusion TLC as a transmitter. Please see the note below for details.

Canon 1D Mark IV Canon 7D Canon 60D Canon Rebel T5 (1200D)

Canon Rebel T1i (500D)
Canon Rebel XSi (450D)
Canon Rebel XTi (400D)
Canon Rebel XT (350D)
Canon Rebel XS (1000D)
Note: Some newer DSLR camera bodies, starting with the 5D Mark IV and 1Dx Mark II are not TTL compatible with the MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 as a transmitter. You may need to use a FlexTT6 on your camera instead. Please see the FlexTT6 page for details.

The Canon mirrorless cameras are not currently TTL compatible with the FlexTT5, FlexTT6, or MiniTT1. You may need to use a Raven by Fusion TLC on your camera as a transmitter with FlexTT5 or FlexTT6 radios as receivers for TTL.

Any Canon camera that is not TTL compatible in TTL mode (except models without a center contact pin) are compatible with the current Legacy firmware in Basic Trigger Mode for manual triggering up to X-sync.

All PocketWizard radios can be used with most of the Canon cameras. However, the Canon T7i and SL3 lack the main center contact pin on the hot shoe. PocketWizard radios, like most transmitters, rely on this signal from the camera. With these cameras, a transmitting PocketWizard will not be able to send out a trigger to a remote PocketWizard for flash sync. However, you can use a remote camera cable connected to a receiving PocketWizard and the camera to remotely trigger the camera from a transmitting PocketWizard radio.

For optimal performance, it is highly recommended to specify your camera model in the Misc Tab of the PocketWizard Utility for your transmitting radio.

1D (Mark I) 1Ds (Mark I) D60
10D D30 Rebel (300D)

BASIC TRIGGER MODE: Almost all cameras and flashes are compatible with the MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 when the radios are configured for Basic Trigger Mode. Basic Trigger Mode disables all flash power control and TTL functions of the radios.

Canon's PowerShot cameras, such as the G9, G10, G11, G12 and earlier models, are not supported with our radios. Although these cameras can use many of the same flashes as modern Canon DSLRs, they use a very different implementation of Canon's ETTL protocol.

Speedlite Compatibility

Special Note: Canon Speedlite models 580EX, 580EX II, 430EX, and 430EX III-RT (but not the 430EX II), emit RF interference that can substantially reduce the effective operating range of many radio slaves, including the FlexTT5 and FlexTT6 when used as a receiver. For these model flashes, please utilize the mounting suggestions on PocketWizard.com

BASIC TRIGGER MODE: Almost all cameras and flashes are compatible with the MiniTT1, FlexTT5, or FlexTT6 when the radios are configured for Basic Trigger Mode using Legacy firmware. Basic Trigger Mode disables all flash power control and TTL functions of the radios.

3rd Party Speedlite Compatible Flashes

Metz

58 AF-1 (Metz firmware v5.0)
48 AF-1 (Metz firmware v4.0)


These flashes can only be used if Pre-Flash Boost is disabled on the Flash Tab in the PocketWizard Utility is disabled. Note: Pre-Flash Boost is disabled by default.

These flashes may only be used on a remote FlexTT5 used as a receiver. They are not compatible as on-camera MASTER flashes.


Nissin

The Nissin Di622, Di622 Mark II, Di866, and Di866 Mark II for Canon are currently compatible with ControlTL radios (such as the MiniTT1 and FlexTT5) with certain limitations. Please see our Nissin Compatibility page for full details.

Operational Notes

ControlTL Remote Camera

Using the default settings, remote cameras with a receiving FlexTT5 will be limited to Single Shot mode and there will be a delay between subsequent triggers. To learn more about remote camera triggering with ControlTL radios, visit our Remote Camera Triggering page.

Mirror Lockup mode is not compatible with ControlTL settings, but may work if the radios are set to Basic Trigger Mode.
