Beta Firmware

With the latest beta firmware, you get to try out the latest MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 firmware (other radios, too!). We appreciate your help testing the newest features before a “Final Release” is available. Anyone can participate, but you should be very comfortable using the PocketWizard Utility and be willing to provide detailed feedback of your experiences. If that’s you, then follow the steps below to begin your own beta test.
