PocketWizard Plus X Transceiver

PocketWizard Plus X Transceiver | Simple radio triggering for off-camera flash

A straightforward rotary channel selector defines the PocketWizard Plus X Transceiver: it keeps radio triggering simple, with 10 standard channels chosen using one dial. This is a flash trigger for photographers who want to fire a flash away from the camera, particularly for portraits and product photography. Put one Plus X on the camera and another by the flash, connect the flash with the supplied cable, and set both units to the same channel. The Plus X then handles transmitting and receiving automatically, so you don’t need to choose a separate operating mode on each unit. Its compatibility with PocketWizard transmitters and receivers that use Standard Channels also makes it a straightforward way to add another compatible unit to an existing setup. For portraits, placing the flash off-camera gives you control over where the light comes from; for product shots, it lets the flash sit away from the camera position. The Plus X keeps its job focused on triggering: a simple dial, ten channel options and automatic switching between send and receive modes.

Channels and trigger operation

• 10 standard channels: Choose from ten channel options. Matching the setting on the camera-side and flash-side units gives them a shared channel for triggering.
• Rotary channel selector: The channel is selected with a dial rather than a more involved menu. That keeps the main setup control easy to find.
• Automatic transmit and receive: The Plus X switches between sending and receiving modes by itself. There’s no separate mode selection to manage during setup.
• Camera-to-flash arrangement: One unit connects at the camera and another at the flash. This places the flash off-camera for portrait or product lighting.
• Cable connection: The flash-side unit connects to the flash using the supplied cable. The cable is part of the described triggering setup.
• Standard Channel compatibility: It works with PocketWizard transmitters and receivers using Standard Channels. This is useful when adding Plus X units to a compatible PocketWizard setup.
• Focused flash triggering: The Plus X is a radio trigger, rather than a flash itself. Its role is to fire an off-camera flash for portrait and product work.
