The Pocket Wizard MultiMAX features Wireless Transceiver Technology which eliminates the need for separate transmitter/receiver triggering configuration. Each MultiMAX provides the capability to send and receive digital signaling by a flip of a switch similar to personal communicators. Through its use of advanced transceiver technology the MultiMAX offers true triggering confirmation feedback up to 1600 feet away without the need for signal repeaters or daisy-chained radios. In the Selective Quad Triggering Mode the MultiMAX automatically confirms (on the selected transmitter) every zone simultaneously with immediate visual and audible feedback. Using the optional Flash Confirmation Cable the transmitter receives a visual and audible signal confirming that a triggered flash actually fires. Finally there's a real confirmation system which reassures the photographer that everything is working. The MultiMAX comes loaded with Trigger Time Control software. This software package offers several tools for the working professional all in one small package. With this software it's easy and very convenient to create rear-curtain sync effects with any camera add depth of field using multipop mode and record events as they unfold using the intervalometer mode. Other standard features of the PocketWizard MultiMAX are up to 1600 foot triggering range 32 digital 16/24 bit coded channels 1/1000 flash sync speed (in fast mode) contact closure adjustment trigger counter and much more. Also Wireless enabling / disabling of camera pre-release setting has been added (and new cables for this pre-release feature).

Excellant product!

"I'm a firm believer in buying the best and having all the bells and whistles available to me, because it's inevitable that, one day, I will regret not having them. There has not been one electronic product that I have had in my life that I did not upgrade. Stereo's, camera's computers, . . you name it cost me a lot more money in the long run. Did I need the MultiMax 32 channel Transceiver at this time? No! B..." Read Full Review »

"Even I said the radio slave is great, still you must be carefull where you point the anthenas to and how close the receiver is from the transmitter, when close to each other ( 1-5 feet) units tend to misfire, so you have to change positions of the slave to get the reception fix, at a hall, if there …"  Read Full Review »
