The PocketWizard Plus II transceiver is beautiful in its simplicity. The Plus II is an "Auto-Sensing" transceiver which automatically switches from receive to transmit as needed and reliably triggers lights and/or cameras up to 1600 feet away.
Utilizing advanced digital technology, four, 16-bit channels are available for selective firing of lights or remote cameras*. Images can be captured at up to 12 frames-per-second, faster than any current DSLR. Ultra-fast microprocessors allow for top sync speeds of 1/250th-second for focal-plane shutters and 1/500th for leaf shutters.
The PocketWizard Plus II Transceiver offers great flexibility and ease-of-use for photographers who demand a reliable wireless solution to plug-in, turn-on and shoot.

Multi-channel switching also helps to isolate your lights when shooting in close proximity to other photographers.
- Capable of triggering lights or cameras at a sustained rate of up to 12 frames per second (fps).
- Ultra-fast microprocessors enable trigger-response times as short as 1/2000th of a second allowing for reliable sync speeds of 1/250th for focal plane shutters and 1/500th for leaf shutters.
