The PocketWizard MiniTT1 Radio Slave Transmitter is part of an ultra-versatile radio slave system, and is dedicated specifically to the Nikon i-TTL flash control system. It simply slides directly into the camera's hot shoe, and there are no special settings to make or modes to call up. Use the camera, on-camera flash, or flash commander controls for flash compensation, zone and ratio control. It supports single or multiple dedicated flash units.
The MiniTT1 is the ideal addition to any Nikon i-TTL flash system. It works in combination with the FlexTT5 Transceiver, and since this system works on digital radio technology, it can support i-TTL operation around corners, out-of-sight, or in bright sunlight.
- 2 Channel Settings + Learn Mode
- Each setting can be programmed to support up to 20 ControlTL channels for TTL photography, or 32 standard channels for manual flash photography. The FlexTT5 Transceiver also has a three-zone selector switch, which integrates with Nikon zones and ratios. The Learn Mode allows the unit to detect the channel used by any other unit in the area.
- Reverse Compatible
- Operates on the same channels as all other PocketWizards and will work with any unit you may already have.
- HyperSync & High-Speed Sync Technology
- Supports flash sync speeds of up to 1/500th sec. High-Speed Sync auto syncs flash system with the camera's shutter speed setting, up to 1/8000th.
- Built-in Hot Shoe
- Features a hot shoe on the top, so that you can still mount a flash unit directly onto the camera. This allows you to combine your remote flash with the on-camera flash, or use the on-camera flash for additional i-TTL control only.
- Low-Profile Design
- The MiniTT1 lies flat to stay out of the way and uses an internal antenna.
- Configurable and Upgradeable
- The MiniTT1 features a mini-USB port, which makes it upgradeable and "future-proof" for continuous improvements and compatibility upgrades.

I did a lot of research before purchasing the PW system. I've coupled this mini TT1 with a Flex TT5 and it works....most of the time. Despite a whole lot of testing and re-testing I still couldn't get rid of an occasional misfire. This isn't a deal breaker but for a product that is premium priced I would've liked to get closer to 100% reliability. It is most critical that you power up the PW system as they recommend and make sure batteries are in good shape.
In contrast, the Nikon remote CLS never failed to fire as long as I stayed within the capabilities of that system. Still, for very long range and for total out-of-sight remote placement, the PW system does work; albeit for a premium. I would recommend with the above caveat.

I just purchased the FlexTT5 Transceiver and MiniTT1 Transmitter Radio for Nikon i-TTL Flash and recently used them on a portrait shoot. I was using a Nikon D7000 and SB-900 and placed the flash within 15 feet of the camera, I experience about 30% failure of the flash to fire upon shutter release. I updated the firmware and reviewed my settings. Pocketwizard does not provide live tech support. I will keep trying, I should have purchased the well tested PlusII>

Comments about PocketWizard MiniTT1 Radio Slave Transmitter for Nikon i-TTL System:
This product is as easy to use as advertised. The results are spot on with the additional benefits of a radio trigger going around corners and esp. shooting in bright lights and longer distances as well as during events with minimal setup times and working alone. Used it for a wedding - in my view this is where this system works out all its advantages.
Little tip for Elinchrom users. Just put the skyport on top of the mini and you are automatically synchronized.

Comments about PocketWizard MiniTT1 Radio Slave Transmitter for Nikon i-TTL System:
I was able to just plug in to use Nikon CLS with all my Speedlights and my SU-800, but finally forget about having my Speedlights out of range, or in line of sight. The MiniTTl units I purchased have worked flawlessly in studio, event, and architectural work.

Comments about PocketWizard MiniTT1 Radio Slave Transmitter for Nikon i-TTL System:
I am just getting into using off-camera flash and was looking at the standard PW Plus II. However, this caught my eye. After doing a lot of research, I think it meets my needs of allowing for iTTL control as well as allowing for manual flash operation. The MiniTT1 is only a transmitter and I could have purchased the FlexTT5 transciever, but I like the smaller size of the MiniTT1 when sitting on my camera's hot shoe. I must say these are some pretty sophisticated devices but are still plug-and-play to a large extent.

Comments about PocketWizard MiniTT1 Radio Slave Transmitter for Nikon i-TTL System:
This thing is great. It works. It is simple to use. It doesn't weigh anything. I turn it on and my flash works perfectly. I just ordered the AC3 to go with it because it isn't as easy to control the power as it was using the pop up flash to power my SB900.

Comments about PocketWizard MiniTT1 Radio Slave Transmitter for Nikon i-TTL System:
I use these in combination with MC2's, TT5's, and an AC3. Pocket Wizard makes the most reliable trigger on the market. Period. Bright sunlight, out of sightlines, and crazy distances, none of that matters these triggers reliably fire.Only concern is the build of the shoe itself, doesn't effect me much because I do almost zero on camera flash but if I did I would worry about the increased weight/leverage and the possibility of shearing the shoe.

Comments about PocketWizard MiniTT1 Radio Slave Transmitter for Nikon i-TTL System:
Consistently works, and provides sync speeds above 1/250th. Max usable sync speed I got was 1/1000th with D700 and SB800's on PW3's. It's not as cut and dry as you would think because faster sync speeds (above 1/400th) require full power flash pops in hyper-sync mode, which are not suitable for a lot of situations. I set the second config option, C2 for hyper speed sync and shooting at 1/400th and below as this allows lower flash power settings.

Comments about PocketWizard MiniTT1 Radio Slave Transmitter for Nikon i-TTL System:
I use this product as part of a package including:
* FlexTT5
* MiniTT1
* AC3 ZoneController for Nikon
* AC9 AlienBees Adapter for Nikon
It works great!
For a year I had to run around between my AlienBees sliding the little slider back and forth, back and forth, back and forth... With the package I can make adjustments while standing where my subject is.
A HUGE plus is that it works. Not a lot to ask for I know, but after you've used a product which works about 90% of the time you come to appreciate it when your ger
I've also used this package (minus the AC9) to put a speedlight close to my subjects while I backed off several meters so I could use lens compression for a more dramatic shot.
I know that PocketWizards cost a lot of money, but do you know what costs more money? Buying a less reliable product, wasting time on set because what you bought is unreliable, then buying the PocketWizards, which you should have done in the first place.

Comments about PocketWizard MiniTT1 Radio Slave Transmitter for Nikon i-TTL System:
Though a little challenging to catch the hang of use, PocketWizard has provided a power-packed little transmitter here with many customizable control functions. Not for the faint of heart, this transmitter has served me extremely well after much fiddling and manual reading.
If you're comfortable with technology and don't mind a little figuring, I feel the i-TTL capability of this transmitter makes it a worthwhile challenge to use.
