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.

How to Use:

Connect the N10-ACC Remote Camera Cable to your camera’s remote port and a receiving PocketWizard radio. Trigger your remote camera by either pressing test on a handheld PocketWizard or directly from your camera’s shutter button; with the transmitting PocketWizard mounted on your handheld camera’ s hot shoe or connected to the camera’s PC port. More details can be found in our PocketWizard Wiki.

NOTE: For best results, if you are shooting from a hand held camera and triggering a remote camera at the same time, use a remote camera cable on both the transmitting and receiving radios. With most mirrorless cameras, a second cable is required for settings such as silent shooting mode, electronic shutter, or continuous high speed drive, where the camera’s hot shoe may be disabled.

Compatibility:

PocketWizard Compatibility:
All PocketWizard transceivers
NOTE: For PocketWizards with mono sync ports such as older Plus, Plus II, and MultiMAX radios using top sync port, use an MSMM adapter or a PTMM adapter.

Camera Compatibility for Nikon cameras with Nikon’s 10 pin port including:
For Nikon D200 cameras and the D100 with an MB-D100 grip. Will also work with older Nikon cameras (release prior to 2008) with 10 pin remote shutter release.  Allows independent control of the half-press function when using certain PocketWizard radios.

IMPORTANT: Not compatible with Nikon 10 pin cameras released after July, 2008. Use the N10-ACC Remote Camera Cable instead.

Half press / Pre Trigger Options for the Remote Camera:

Enabling half press with the radios will pre trigger the remote camera. When half press / pre triggering is enabled, the remote camera behaves as if you were half pressing the shutter button directly on the camera itself. When pre triggered, the remote camera will focus and confirm exposure but not fire. The advantage of the half press feature is that your camera will respond to the actual trigger signal faster, as it should be completely ready to take the photo as soon as it gets the signal to fire. Half press is available “on demand” with some PocketWizard radios as a feature. Continuous half press is available to all PocketWizard radios if you add a PTMM cable. Please see below for details:

Plus III: Using a hand held transmitting radio: half press the test button  on the radio in your hand to pre trigger your remote camera, then press all the way to take the photo. If you are shooting from a handheld camera with a hot shoe mounted transmitting radio, use a remote camera cable on both the transmitting and receiving PocketWizard radios to enable pre triggering for the remote camera. When you half press the shutter button of the camera in your hand, the remote Plus III should pre trigger the remote camera at the same time.

Plus IV: The Plus IV can receive a half press signal from a transmitting Plus III but cannot send one. See above for details about how half press works.

MultiMAX: You can pre trigger a remote camera using the MultiMAX radios by enabling or disabling their zones from a transmitting MultiMAX, Plus III, or Plus IV. This feature works when using the bottom -ACC port on a MultiMAX radio. It is not available on older MultiMAX radios that only have a top port.

The PTMM adapter can be added to any setup to enable constant pre triggering. It is an adapter that connects to the remote camera cable and has a box with a switch. When you turn it “on”, the camera will be constantly pre triggered. When it is “off”, the camera will fire after confirming focus and exposure. The camera will respond much more quickly but will use more battery power.

FlexTT5, FlexTT6, Plus II, Plus Receiver, MultiMAX without -ACC ports: half press /  pre trigger is only available on these units by adding the PTMM adapter.

This is a replacement battery cover plate for a PocketWizard FlexTT5 or FlexTT6. To replace the plate, follow the instructions in the video below. This will also allow you to remove the battery door to check it for any corrosion. It is a good idea to clean it with a pencil eraser while you have the part out. 

Note: Be sure to just pop off the top left corner of the battery cover. Sometimes it can be very stiff the first time you take it off. Using your finger or a small screwdriver is usually best.

No power from your FlexTT5 or FlexTT6 with fresh batteries? Intermittent problems with the radio? Check your battery contacts. If you’ve had a battery leak or sometimes even just with age or moisture, the metal on the door may become corroded. If the radio gets power from the USB connection, there’s a good chance the issue might just be the contacts.

It can be hard to see the metal contacts when it’s connected to the radio so the best way to check is to remove the door. The video below will show you how to take it off.  It will also let you check the internal spring contacts as well. You can try cleaning the metal on the door with a pencil eraser or if you see corrosion, you can rub it with aluminum foil and add a drop or two of lemon juice or vinegar if needed.

You can verify the door is getting a good connection by watching the LED on the radio and wiggling the door. When you first turn it on, you should see a bold green blink (or a red green red green pattern if you have upgraded to the E Release), followed by a lighter green blink every second or so. If you wiggle the battery door, you should not see that bold green blink again.

If you can’t get the contacts clean or if you are still having trouble, you can simply replace the door.

Note: Be sure to just pop off the top left corner of the battery cover. Sometimes it can be very stiff the first time you take it off. Using your finger or a small screwdriver is usually best.

Your light stand took a tumble in the wind, and your radio took the brunt of the fall!  You need a replacement hot shoe so you can get working again!

Our radios are made from an glass-reinforced resin material, and shouldn’t break with normal usage. However, if gear gets dropped or knocked over, there is a high risk that some piece of gear will get damaged. A plastic foot allows for a less expensive (and user-serviceable) part to need replacement over a more expensive part like a camera or flash repair. In general, photography equipment like cameras and flashes and radios are not designed to be dropped or knocked over. We’re no exception. We provide a simpler, less expensive, and more accessible repair solution in these situations.

You can replace the shoe yourself if you’re comfortable with minor repairs, take a look at the video below for details. If you’d rather send it in, please contact us.

This replacement part is compatible with the FlexTT5 or FlexTT6 radios. The Nikon version is for the Nikon FlexTT5 only. The Canon version is for the Canon FlexTT5, Canon FlexTT6, or the Panasonic FlexTT5. Please be sure to choose the correct one for your radio from the drop down menu.
