Old tech combined with new tech....

Hey all,

I was wondering.... I have an old Canon 300EZ flash and the PocketWizard FlexTT5/MiniTT1 triggers. Would it be safe to use the old flash with the PW's? Is there a voltage issue that I should be concerned about? Thanks in advance for any advice and help!!

Hey all,

I guess the flash is the wrong type of TTL... A-TTL from film days, not really compatible with digital. :-( Oh, well, won't be using that one.

The voltage is safe, you are right in that the EZ is A-TTL, but that shouldn't stop you using the flash in manual on the PW's. You are not going to get ETTL, but you should get remote power control via an AC3.

Hey all,

Thanks for the info! I was planning on using it as a fill/hair light. The voltage did concern me, but now i feel a little better! Thanks again!!
