Basic Trigger
Allows the MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 to operate as a basic PocketWizard radio slave on any camera it will fit, including
cameras other than the Canon or Nikon models the radio is designed for. This mode only uses the center hot shoe
contact for sync input and output. It does not use any of the radio's communication pins, and as such disables all
TTL, HSS/FP-Sync and power-controlling operations of the radio.
Special Notes:
• This setting does not need to match across all radios in use - it needs only be used when connected to a
non-compatible camera or flash. For example, transmitting MiniTT1/FlexTT5 transmitting on both ControlTL
and Standard Channels can be used to trigger a remote FlexTT5 in Basic Trigger Mode (receiving on a Standard
Channel).
• Due to the manufacturer-specific layout of the pins on the bottom shoe, the MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 are not
guaranteed to slide onto every camera's hot shoe. Do not force the units onto your camera. Slide gently.
• In Basic Trigger Mode, you get basic remote triggering on PocketWizard Standard Channels. This works with all
PocketWizard radios including the PlusX, Plus III, Plus II, MultiMAX, and devices with PocketWizard radios
built-in.
• HyperSync, High Speed Sync (FP Flash), or ControlTL functionality are not available on any channel when using
this mode on a transmitting radio. A remote radio set to Basic Trigger Mode can still be used for HyperSync
operation, when Standard Channels are configured on the HyperSync/HSS Tab of the transmitting radio.
• This mode will reduce battery life with the MiniTT1. Normally the MiniTT1 sleeps when the camera sleeps based
on data it receives from the camera on the E-TTL / i-TTL communication pins. Since those pins are deactivated in
this mode, the MiniTT1 never sleeps.
