- 10 Standard Channels:

- Claim your own channel for exclusive triggering when working with other photographers at crowded events
- Use different channels for different setups or looks and select them simply and intuitively with the turn of a dial
- And these 10 channels are compatible with every PocketWizard ever made* set to Standard Channels 1 ? 10. (* radios of the same frequency)
- Backlit Channel Dial:
- Setting channels is as easy as turning a dial
- The backlit channel dial clearly displays the set channel and because the backlight consumes so little power, it stays on all the time for convenience
- Internal Antenna:
- The PlusX features a durable, side profile design with an unobtrusive, internal antenna minimizing visual obstruction between you and your subject
- By utilizing an internal antenna, there's no chance to kink or break it when on location
- The total height of the transceiver and antenna is less than 4.2 inches, and it weighs only 4 ounces, including batteries
- Easily Connected / Cable Port:
- On your camera, the PlusX slides into the hot shoe with no cables required
- For your remotes, it features one do-it-all miniphone (3.5mm or 1/8") sync port
- The miniphone connector is much more reliable than a PC connection and every PlusX comes complete with a miniphone-to-miniphone cable, a miniphone-to-phono (1/4" or 6.3mm)adapter for triggering the majority of modern flashes, and a miniphone to locking PC cable for triggering some remote speedlights or for using your PlusX on-camera when you can't put it in a hot shoe
- Other miniphone connector cables are available for major brands of lighting equipment in a variety of lengths
- Dedicated remote camera triggering cables are also available for popular camera systems
- Auto-Sensing Transceiver:
- With our patented Auto-Sensing Transceiver Technology, the PlusX Transceiver is one smart radio
- The PlusX will instantly and intelligently switch between transmitter and receiver modes keeping setup as simple as possible
- The PlusX may be set to Transmit (Tx) only when needed
- Auto-Relay Mode:
- Our Auto-Sensing Transceiver Technology lets you trigger a remote camera in sync with remote flashes using only 3 PocketWizard radios: the one in your hands, a PlusX cabled to your remote camera, and the one connected to your remote flash
- The PlusX cabled to your remote camera will receive a radio signal and trigger the camera's motor drive, then switch to transmit mode and trigger your PocketWizard-connected remote flashes on the next channel up, all automatically
- Start the sequence by simply pressing the TEST button of any PocketWizard transmitter in your hands
- Remote cameras require motor drive cables. Find the correct cable for your gear using the PocketWizard Cable Finder
- Status Indicator/Battery Life Indicator:
- The PlusX features a tri-color LED status indicator that serves two functions
- When the PlusX sends or receives a triggering signal, the LED will glow red
- During normal operation, the indicator will blink a single green blink meaning it is operating normally and the battery life is above 50%
- It will blink a double amber blink when the battery is below 50% but above 25% and it will blink three red blinks when the battery life is below 25% and it's crucial to replace the batteries
- Transmit Only Mode:
- There are times when you only want your radio to transmit, usually when two or more photographers are sharing a set of lights
- By enabling transmit only mode, you disable the receive and auto-relay functions to make sure all your radio is doing is transmitting
