SUSTAINING HIGH PERFORMANCE
Long distance performance from
your PocketWizards depends on the
orientation and position of the units.
Whenever possible, try to maintain
a line of sight between the units and
keep the antennas parallel. Make sure
they are not near any large metal,
concrete, or high water-content
objects. People and trees are mostly
water! Make sure they are not
blocked by these objects or by hills.
Maintain a 12" or greater distance between antennas. Avoid direct antenna
contact with anything metallic. “Dead spots” are caused by a number of things,
but the solution is almost always the same: move the unit a few inches or feet
away from the problem area.
Mount the remote PocketWizard so that the antenna is
completely above the top edge of the flash pack and away
from any metal (light modifiers, stands, etc.).
