PocketWizard Remote Pre-Trigger Cable Canon

PocketWizard Remote Pre-Trigger Cable Canon - Canon N3 connection

Releasing the shutter from beside the camera keeps you tied to its position; the PocketWizard Remote Pre-Trigger Cable Canon provides a remote release connection for compatible Canon cameras with an N3 socket. It’s a specialist cable for photographers working with PocketWizard radio gear, particularly when the camera needs to be placed away from where they’re shooting. Sports photography is one clear use: the photographer can trigger the camera remotely, rather than standing beside it. The cable is also described for other kinds of photography, and for remote release with digital or analogue cameras. Its pre-trigger function has a practical purpose beyond firing the shutter. A switch keeps the camera from entering sleep mode, so it’s ready for the first exposure instead of needing to wake up at the crucial moment. The switch also controls whether autofocus is active or disabled. That gives you a choice between keeping autofocus in the release sequence and switching it off. Compatibility is specific: the supplier names the Canon N3 version, and the listed camera examples are Canon EOS 10D, 20D, 30D and 40D models, plus several EOS-1D and EOS-1Ds bodies.

Highlights

• Remote shutter release: The cable connects a compatible camera to PocketWizard radio equipment for remote triggering. That’s useful when the camera is positioned for a sports photograph and the photographer is elsewhere.
• Works with Plus and Plus II: The cable is specified for use with the PocketWizard Plus and Plus II transceivers. It links the camera’s release connection with this PocketWizard radio setup.
• MultiMAX compatibility: PocketWizard MultiMAX is also named as a compatible remote trigger. This makes the cable relevant to photographers already using that PocketWizard unit.
• Pre-trigger switch: A switch prevents the camera from going into sleep mode. The camera is then kept ready for a release, avoiding the delay of waking it when a shot is about to be made.
• Autofocus control: The switch also selects whether autofocus is enabled or disabled. That gives you the option to include autofocus operation or leave it switched off for remote releases.
• Canon N3 version: This cable is identified as the Canon N3 model. Its camera connection is intended for the Canon EOS bodies listed in the specifications, rather than being a universal camera cable.
• For digital or analogue cameras: The supplier description covers remote release with both digital and analogue cameras. The named Canon EOS compatibility examples are included below so you can identify the stated bodies.
