The HUB Wireless Remote is a versatile camera accessory designed to function as a standard trigger for Paul C. Buff, Inc. flash units, providing essential communication between various camera brands and the flash system. It supports both TTL (Through-The-Lens) and HSS (High-Speed Sync) capabilities, though a camera-specific version of the HUB is required to fully utilize these advanced features with compatible Paul C. Buff, Inc. flash units like the LINK.

Function Description:

The primary function of the HUB is to wirelessly trigger Paul C. Buff, Inc. flash units. It mounts onto a camera's hot shoe and establishes a wireless connection to control flash settings. In its basic mode, it acts as a simple trigger. When paired with a compatible Paul C. Buff, Inc. flash unit that supports TTL and HSS, and with the correct camera-specific HUB version, it enables automatic flash exposure (TTL) and allows for flash synchronization at shutter speeds faster than the camera's native sync speed (HSS). The device also features Bluetooth connectivity, allowing for potential future expansions or integrations.
