Would these units, the MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 work on a Canon T2i?

Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We got a good book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information. I am very glad to see such information which I was searching for a long time.This made very glad!

Doesn’t COMPLETELY work on the 5D Mark II. I wouldn’t rush to buy this until they release another revision.

Thanks, I found it. On Rob Galbraith Site. He has been using them for a few months as a beta tester.

Of these models, there are two with limitations. First, Auto Power Off must be disabled in the 30D or remote triggering won’t be possible after this camera automatically powers down. Second, it’s not possible to use a flash in the hot shoe of a MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 attached to a 5D Mark II (the new PocketWizards operate fine with this camera when no flash is in their shoe). LPA Design anticipates being able to correct this through a firmware update sometime in the months ahead.

when you put a Flash on top of the miniTT1 on the 5d MII, the system will not function. Pocketwizard says they will fix this threw firmware upgrade, who says they will. I’m still gonna use my ebay triggers, their cheap and work with each brand.

wrong – the only thing it doesn’t support on the 5D2 is the flash in the hotshoe on top of the transmitter…

I’m aware of that. The problem is, the PX series will be a tough sell now that this product is available, especially once they can accommodate Nikon shooters.

Hence, why I think they need to get the Jr out soon; they need a solid revenue source, and within a few months, I suspect the PX kit won’t be it.

This is great news I own 4 canon Flashes, 3 430ex’s and a 580 EX II. Never been happy
with the performance of the IR system. This is a great option. although to get the most
out of it you need to drop a grand. 1 Mini and 4 remotes.

But still a vast improvement.

Don’t have a 5D MkII yet the compatibility issue seems to be the pass through from
the camera to the flash for on camera shooting… might be a voltage issue. But from
the manual it seems as though if you have a mini and a remote it should work with the flash off the camera.

An issue but not life altering.

I really like that it is flash ROM update-able. THis bodes well for fixing the 5D MkII issue
and what ever is likely to come up in the future.
