PocketWizard Plus Ve Overview

New Compact Design, Same Dependability
A fresh, sleek take on renowned reliability, the Plus Ve is PocketWizard's smallest transceiver, yet it still manages to include the rich feature-set and dependability that makes it a mainstay for professional lighting and remote triggering jobs. This auto-sensing transceiver uses the E Release firmware protocol, making it solely compatible with E Release-updated transceivers, remotes, and meters.
32 + 80 Channels and Hex-Zone Triggering
Suitable for photographers working in busy environments, like sports arenas, wedding halls, or busy studios, the Plus Ve has 32 selectable flash channels that all support Hex-Zone triggering. This six-zone configuration (A-F) lets you switch between multi-light configurations without leaving your shooting position.

For remote camera triggering, 80 long-range channels can be used along with five separate zones (A-E) for working with multi-camera remote setups.
  • When set to the TxRx setting, auto-sensing transceiver technology automatically and intelligently switches between transmitter and receiver modes as needed.
  • When used as a camera remote, two-stage triggering is possible to pre-trigger or wake the remote camera by half-pressing the E Zone button. This function requires a Plus Ve, Plus IIIe, or Plus IVe along with ACC Cables.
  • Auto-Relay mode can be used to trigger a remote camera in sync with remote flashes using just three Plus Ve radios—one to trigger, one connected to the remote camera, and one connected to the flash setup—and the auto-sensing technology relays the received signal from the camera to transmit the signal to the flash.
  • Flash trigger range is rated to approx. 1000'; camera trigger range is rated to approx. 3000'. A dedicated Long Range (LR) mode can also be used to effectively double this range in any environment, with potential triggering ranges reaching into the miles under ideal conditions.
  • Supports sequential triggering at up to 14.5 fps with a top sync speed of 1/250 sec for focal plane shutter or 1/500 sec for leaf shutters.
E Release Compatible
The Plus Ve is specifically compatible with PocketWizard devices using the E Release firmware protocol, including the Plus IIIe, Plus IVe, Power MC2, FlexTT5, and FlexTT6 radios that have been upgraded; the FUSION TLC Raven; and select Sekonic light meters that have been upgraded to E Release firmware. This transceiver is not compatible with legacy PocketWizard channels and it cannot be downgraded to function on those channels.
Simple User-Interface, Sleek and Minimal Design
PocketWizard's smallest transceiver yet, the Plus Ve has a streamlined design without a protruding antenna. The total height is 3.5" and the foot can be removed, revealing a 1/4"-20 mount, for an even smaller profile. In traditional PocketWizard design, the user-interface is also intuitive and straightforward for immediate use.
  • Compact and lightweight design — 3.5 x 2 x 0.7" and weighs just 2.5 oz with the battery installed.
  • Foot connects directly to a camera synced triggering without a cable; the foot can be removed for a sleeker design, especially when used with strobes.
  • 1/8" sync port for cabled connections; compatible with a wide variety of sync cables and ACC camera cables.
  • Simple interface is navigable via the 0.7" color OLED screen and a series of soft, physical buttons to adjust the settings.
  • Removable lithium-ion battery can be charged inside the Plus Ve via the USB-C port; this 800 mAh battery lasts approximately 35 hours and requires 2.5 hours to charge.

PocketWizard Plus Ve Reviews

Much worse than predecessors, in my experience

It's difficult to turn the units on. Push on the mode button, then wait, then push it again for a few seconds. Then it might turn on. Why not have an on-off button, rather than make the "MODE" button more difficult than it's been on the previous models, the 3Es or 3s? Why have to use "MODE" at all to turn these units on? That makes it too easy to mistakenly change from LR to other modes. Charging the (built-in) battery takes hours, and Plus Ves don't accept regular batteries. The rechargeable battery wears down quickly, in our experience, despite online sources saying they last 35 hours. When they wear down quickly, you're in trouble if you don't have hours to charge them. They are lighter but feel far more flimsy. Not sure if that would end up being a problem or not. We bought 4 of these to start, thinking they are 'the future' and must be better than older models. Alas, at least for us, they've been anything but. We have chosen to keep using the older ones.

So far, so good

Alibi alert: I use these for triggering remote (Nikon) cameras from (Nikon) cameras with Fusion TLC transmitters - I cannot speak to how they work with remote flashes or other camera brands. Configured and pre-tested the units, and aside from the usual difficulty in finding documentation (https://pocketwizard.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Plus-Ve-Quick-Guide.pdf) all was pretty straight forward. Only wrinkle was that the Plus Ve's would not pair with the Fusion TLC transmitters when set to Camera LR mode - you have to use Camera Rx mode on the receiving Plus Ve's. This would seem only to be an issue if you need the Auto Relay functionality (used to trigger 'remoter' flashes in sync with a remote camera, one channel higher than the original broadcast). Pluses: unit is smaller than the IIIe's - so hopefully less likely to get hit by a wayward shot or foot; the display (color LCD) seems to be more readable than the Plus IIIe, which will help in setting up the remotes in bright sun light; replaceable hot shoe attachment seems more robust than the one on the IIIe - and even easier to replace (no tools required). Noted idiosyncrasies: powering the unit on requires a double touch of the Mode button (short than long), units do not seem to charge unless powered on - or at least the charging indicator/status is not displayed; according to the documentation, the units will not trickle charge if left attached to the charger once fully charged; units are shipped with about a 50% charge - allow time before first use to fully charge. I'll update this review after my first real-world shoot later today.
