In the mail…

Today was an awesome day. It started as an usual day with nothing really exciting but it ended with a lot of good stuffs.

The best of the good stuffs was that the mailman stopped by to drop me a parcel. The long waited parcel with a precious content :)

As a “full time” flash user, especially outdoor in full sun light, I use a lot of off camera flash.

Untill now, I used my Canon wireless eTTL trigger (ST-E2) but have met multiple limitations (line of sight, non consistant trigger …) I have been looking at the Radio Popper systems without a really committed to buy.

When Pocket Wizards announced the MiniTT1 and the FlexTT5, I knew straight away that it was what I’ve been waiting for. Some of you may know, Pocket Wizards is considered and the industry standard and when it comes to wireless triggering system, studio or portable flashguns, they are second to none.

I must admit that I put out a pre-order back to early February when I’ve heard about the system 5Pocket Wizards only announced the system without formal date of release) . My patient is worth it as I just received the first batch of MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 delivered for the US continent only.

I am still waiting for my Nikon system, as Pocket Wizards will produce later on.

Needless to say that I will be out for some intensive shooting and testing sessions.

Check back this space soon for more details on the new Pocket Wizards MiniTT1 & FlexTT5
