The PocketWizard FlexTT5 Transceiver Radio Slave is part of an ultra-versatile radio slave system, and is dedicated specifically to the Canon E-TTL II 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 FlexTT5 is the ideal addition to most Canon E-TTL II flash system. Since this system works on digital radio technology, it can support E-TTL operation around corners, out-of-sight, or in bright sunlight.

The FlexTT5 is a "Transceiver", meaning it can be used either as a transmitter when placed into the camera's hot shoe in combination with another FlexTT5 unit on the flash end, or as a receiver with a MiniTT1 transmitter-only unit placed on the camera's hot shoe.

While the FlexTT5 works ideally with many older Canon flashes, the 580EX, 580EX II, and 430EX emit strong RF noise across the PocketWizard's frequency range, and this significantly reduces out-of-box range performance of the FlexTT5 Transceiver.  In PocketWizard's research, the interference from the flash varies wildly from sample to sample; they can only guarantee that the flash will work to ~30' (~10m) in all conditions. Purchase of the AC7 RF Shield (BH# WIAC7) increases performance of these flashes considerably.

2 Channel Settings + Learn Mode
Out of the box, the FlexTT5 is programmed for PocketWizard channels 1 and 2. Each setting can also be programmed to transmit and receive any of 20 ControlTL channels for TTL photography and/or 32 standard channels for manual flash photography. The FlexTT5 Transceiver also has a three-zone selector switch which integrates with Canon zones and ratios. The Learn Mode enables programming channels in the field with other PocketWizard radios.
HyperSync & High-Speed Sync Technology
Enables X-sync speeds of up to 1/8000 with full-power flash. High-Speed Sync provides auto flash with the camera's shutter speed setting, up to 1/8000th. Unique programming optimizes HSS for better operation and more shots per set of batteries.
Built-In Hot Shoe, Use with Any Flash
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 E-TTL II control only. Hot shoe contacts automatically detect dedicated ETTL or simple hot shoe flash.
Built-in Hot Shoe

Camera/Flash Ports
The FlexTT5 Transceiver has two plug-in ports for use with remote Canon E-TTL II cameras or other non-TTL flash units. Camera remote triggering requires use of a camera-specific ACC-type cable.
Reverse Compatible + Basic Triggering
Operates on the same channels as all other PocketWizards to work with any unit you may already have. Basic Triggering mode enables standard use with virtually any hot-shoe camera.
Remote Camera Triggering/Relay Mode
This mode can be used to trigger a camera remotely and requires use of a camera-specific ACC-type cable. Auto Relay Mode allows you to trigger a remote camera in sync with a remote flash.
Low-Profile Design
The FlexTT5 lies flat to stay out of the way and uses a flip-up antenna for additional range when needed.
Configurable and Upgradeable
The FlexTT5 features a mini-USB port, which makes it upgradeable and "future-proof" for continuous improvements and compatibility upgrades. The included PocketWizard Utility software allows you to select custom settings through the USB connection and to set it to use specific channels used by other Pocked Wizard units.

    I opened up the boxes, put in the batteries, placed one on my 40D, and the other mounted under a 580II. You need to turn on the tt5 FIRST (I used channel C1), then turn on the connected gear. Extend each antenna out of it's closed mode. I put the flash in my bedroom which is separated by a thick wall, so it fired out the door at the wall in the hall. I went into my living room, still able to see the wall in the hall and fired the 40D on High Speed FPS. The 580 fired EVERY SINGLE TIME. It is truly awesome. I tried hiding it all over the place, as far as I could behind things to purposely obstruct line of sight. It just fires every single time right out of the box. The literature that came with this version had a list of bug fixes noted on it which could have accounted for the other issues mentioned in the other reviews.On my own I made two mistakes. One was that I didn't realize that the order in which you turn on the gear mattered, but it does. "Flex First" (which is how I remember it), then everything else. Two was that I forgot to extend the tt5's antenna on my camera and got intermittent results, but as soon as I extended it it fired every time. I'm not sure who else will use the tt5 as a transmitter, but it is pretty much obvious now to just flip it up. The mini doesn't have an antenna, so it's an extra step. I plan to do a distance test using the tt5 as a transmitter so I will edit this post soon.[...]

    I really, really wanted to like the new Pocket Wizards, because I have used the PW PlusII for several years, and I thought I researched these new units extensively enough. I chose these units because of their lower profile design when trying to trigger off camera flashes while also using an on camera flash (instead of strapping a PW on top of my on camera flash). The appearance of the design is great, especially the Mini. I tested them ahead of a shoot, but testing doesn't completely prepair you for all the circumstances of real under pressure use. I used a pair of Mini/Flex units at a wedding with both eTTL off camera flashes and other AC powered units (which of course is one of this products' main target markets i.e. wedding/candid events). I ultimated chose to return both the Mini and the Flex, and B&H gave me a very prompt refund.

    Here are some my biggest frustrations with the Mini & the Flex: 1. Recalibration way too often --When the camera or flash goes to sleep, you have do another calibration shot (which means you need to calibrate every few minutes at a wedding, and frequently miss important shots). So even if you just use the mini or Flex as a triggering device (with flash attached) for use with conventional PocketWizards, your on camera flash won't fire frequently, because the unit needs to so frequently recalibrate. 2. Off camera eTTL flashes often won't fire at all, or won't fire accurately --- The frequency that these units use is heavily effected by the same frequency of the RF "noise" produced by the popular Canon flashes (yes I've read the new version of the 430 is less prone to this RF). Because of this the recieving flash with FlexTT5 attached is too unpredictable if hand-held and often won't fire, or will fire at full power, because the unit needs to be positioned "just so", and often needs to be rediculously close to work at all.

    Unfortuanately the engineers blew it on this product. Fixes/Designs they "should have done": 1. They should have allowed the unit to calibrate only once and not needing to have the calibration continually refreshed (maaaaaybe this will be fixed in a firmware update). 2. They could/should have designed the unit to send out 2 signals simultanously-- one to trigger legacy PocketWizard units, and one on a more reliable frequency for the Canon eTTL units (I don't see this happening without them bring out a newer version)

    These units are almost contenders, but because of these and other major design flaws, I'm guessing the vast majority of them will be returned.

          Comments about PocketWizard FlexTT5 Transceiver Radio Slave for Canon E-TTL II System:

          The products work as advertised and seem to be well manufactured. Having the camera's TTL information relayed to the flashes takes the guesswork out of process and allows the photographer to focus on composing the shots. Although I did not see other reviews mention it, the Flex TT5 and Mini TT1 (with the appropriate cable) can be used as a remote shutter release (with the Flex TT5 on the camera and the Mini TT1 as the remote trigger).
          I have used previous systems without the TTL and am happy to say that I will never look back.

            I use three Flex TT5 transceivers: one on top of my EOS 40D and one on each of two 430 EX II flashes.
            I can't imagine why one would get a Flex Mini when the TT5 does more for nearly the same price. I am very happy with these units. ETTL-II exposures are perfect and totally idiot-proof. No need for a flash meter here. PocketWizard warns about electronic interference from some Canon flashes, but I have not encountered that problem.
            I definitely recommend these.

                      I bought two flex TT5 transceiver radio slave and a TT1 transmitter that I placed on the hot shoe of my camera as the transmitter. The system was suprisingly easy to set up. Together they worked flawlessly with My Canon 5D Mark II. The distance of the TT1 transmitter to the TT5 transceiver ranging from 2 feet to 50 feet. The only issue I had with the system is the hot shoe connector plates are made of a cheap plastic which broke on both of my TT5 after a wind gust tipped my light stands each with a TT5 attached to a 580EX evan though I caught them in midair. The fact that the temperature was 30 degrees may have been a factor. Luckily the TT5 were under warranty and Pocket wizard repaired them with a total turn around time of less than one week. Now I am very cautious when I use then. I would have given the TT5 five stars it the hot shoe connector plate was stronger.

                          I use this product in studio on Canon 1D but also in outdoors with a 5d MK II. But last and not least, it works perfecltly as flash trigger or receiver with my Fujifilm X100

                                    I use this Pocket Wizard almost everyday. I shoot Landscapes to portraits and it is a key tool to my photography. I wish the battery life was alittle better though but only matters when your trying to take photos from far away.

                                      Setup two flextt5, AC3 and the mini. With two 430exii I love them I shipped my radio poppers back 2day after using them and got this set up. I really can't speak for others but Im happy with mines so far.

                                      In theory, these things would be magnificent! I bought 3 and the the AC3 zone controller last week. Needless to say, they performed exactly as everyone said; shoddy at best. The flashes fired about 80% of the time and 30% of the shots that fired were 3 stops overexposed. YES, I followed to the letter what the PocketWizard tutorials laid out for us to do, shooting in aperture priority, full manual, putting the dumb sock they provided on my flash units, you name it. I decided that it wasn't worth the hassle and potential disaster at my weddings, so I returned all 4 units for a full refund.
                                      When they get these things to finally work properly, and don't charge us a fortune for each unit, I will be the first in line for them!!!

                                            Comments about PocketWizard FlexTT5 Transceiver Radio Slave for Canon E-TTL II System:

                                            I purchased two FlexTT5 and one MiniTT1 about a year ago.
                                            At first I was surprised how cheaply build are those units. PW used cheap, easy to crack plastic and flimsy switches in very expensive product. Just disrespecting buyer.
                                            But I was positive. I have two 580EXII so I had to use additional filter between flash and FlexTT5 and special sock over the flash. It creates very bulky combination.
                                            I made mistake by using cold shoe to mount this setup on light stand. When I was moving the lights, plastic PW cracked and whole system fell on the ground...
                                            I expected limited range due to RF interference from flash but it wasn't problem because I have always flash close to me.
                                            In practice it wasn't that good any more. I have many misshots. Flash exposure was unpredictable. I had many missyncs as well.
                                            I still use this radios to trigger the flashes but I set them up manually.
                                            TTL:
                                            The whole PocketWizard TTL system is a mistake. It's wortless to use TTL on static object, because it's easy to set up light manually. And for moving objects the TTL is unreliable.
                                            In the feature I would buy some cheaper triggers.
