Safety Warnings

Congratulations on your purchase of the PocketWizard MiniTT1™/ FlexTT5™System for

Canon DSLR E-TTL II cameras and ﬂashes. Canon owners can use the MiniTT1 Transmitter and

FlexTT5 Transceiver to control single or multiple off-camera Canon E-TTL II ashes at speeds up to

8fps. The PocketWizard ControlTL™ System takes the complex E-TTL II data being sent through

the camera’s hot shoe and digitally interprets and transmits it as a reliable radio signal. You can now

place E-TTL II (or manual) ash units anywhere to illuminate the scene: Around corners, out-of-sight

and in bright sunlight. The MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 are compatible with any PocketWizard for triggering

manual ash or remote cameras.

This US FCC/Canada IC frequency PocketWizard radio slave is compatible with all US frequency

PocketWizard products. It is not frequency compatible with CE or JAPAN PocketWizard products. Verify

frequency compatibility before purchasing. The MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 are protected by various patents

and other patents pending.

Congratulations

CR2450 & CR2354 batteries

Batteries

CAUTION

Turn OFF your equipment (PocketWizard units, electronic

ﬂash units, cameras, etc.) before making connections or

changing batteries.

FlexTT5:

Install 2 fresh AA (IEC:LR6) batteries into the FlexTT5

Transceiver. Make sure to note proper polarity. Alkaline batteries

are recommended. Rechargeable or other chemistry batteries

will also work, though life expectancy may vary.

Life expectancy = ~60 hours with alkaline batteries

MiniTT1:

Install a fresh CR2450 or CR2354 coin cell battery into the

MiniTT1 Transmitter. Make sure to note proper polarity.

The CR2450 is recommended for longer battery life. The MiniTT1

saves batteries by automatically entering an extremely low power

state when the camera enters sleep mode, or if not on a camera

and TEST is not pressed for 10 seconds.

Life expectancy = 100’s of hours/thousands of triggers and varies

based on usage prole

MiniTT1 and FlexTT5:

Look at the normal LED blink to determine battery level,

or use the PocketWizard Utility.

LED Blink:

Green Good battery

Amber Warning – battery low

Red Very low battery – change immediately

MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 Key Features

ControlTL: PocketWizard’s newest rmware platform taps into the camera’s digital communications

to enable an entirely new level of remote ash capabilities through our proven radio system, beginning

with remote TTL for Canon E-TTL II ash systems with Slide-n-Shoot Simplicity.

HyperSync - Achieve better than X-sync with many

cameras and ashes – up to 1/500th second.

FP/High-Speed Sync: Need more speed? Push

beyond 1/500th and go into FP/High-Speed sync mode

automatically. No buttons to press or settings to change

other than your shutter speed will give you ash sync

all the way to 1/8000th.

Power Tracking: When working in E-TTL II, you can

change any of your control settings on your ash or

camera and the system adjusts for those changes.

Eight Frames per second: Never before have you

been able to shoot remote E-TTL II at this speed.

Nothing else comes close.

Low Proﬁle Design: The FlexTT5 lies at to stay out of

the way and uses a ip-up antenna for additional range

when needed. The MiniTT1, with an internal antenna,

weighs in at 2.3 oz. and is the smallest PocketWizard

ever.

READ ME FIRST

If this is the first time you are using a remote E-TTL II flash system, we recommend you

consult your camera and flash manuals for your camera for the basics of positioning your

flash units.

Review the owner’s manuals for your camera and flash system. For most basic functions

when using Canon’s system or PocketWizard’s, operation is identical. Important exceptions

will be noted in this manual.

All equipment should be turned OFF when making connections, otherwise unwanted

triggering may occur when inserting or removing a flash or camera cable.

The first exposure after making initial connections or powering on may not be properly

exposed. The first shot is a camera calibration shot. Always test fire at least twice!

You may use a FlexTT5 as a transmitter instead of a MiniTT1 in all scenarios.

Make sure all PocketWizard radios are set to the same PocketWizard channel. The

PocketWizard channel is used instead of Canon’s E-TTL II communication channel.

See the LEARN Modeand channels sectionfor more information.

IMPORTANT: Canon flashes set to <SLAVE> and connected to FlexTT5 radios will have

slave mode automatically turned off, but will still function as slaves correctly. Set the

Canon slave group via the FlexTT5 Zone Switch.

Only compatible Canon Speedlites can be used in the MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 hot shoe.

Other brands of hot shoe flashes, E-TTL compatible or manual, will not trigger.
