__TOC__

A transmitting MiniTT1, FlexTT5, or FlexTT6 can trigger any receiving PocketWizard, including flashes with built-in PocketWizards. They can transmit on any of the 32 [[Channels#Standard_Channels|PocketWizard Standard Channels]] and a receiving FlexTT5 can be used with [[MultiMAX zones]]. You can even trigger E-TTL and manual flashes together.

==Remote Manual Flash Control from Camera Position==

You can use a 580EX II, SB-700, SB-800, SB-900, SU-800, or [[AC3 ZoneController]] as a master unit attached to the PocketWizard on your camera to control manual power levels of compatible flashes connected to ControlTL receivers. The on-camera PocketWizard will communicate with the device in its top shoe and transmit power level changes to remote ControlTL receivers automatically.

Note that when using an on-camera Master unit to control remote power levels, leave remote speedlights in their "TTL" mode. As ControlTL radios use the flash's TTL systems to communicate with Speedlights - even when controlling the power manually from camera position - setting the flash to Manual as described in the sections below will ''disable'' power controlling ability from your camera.

==Triggering Hot Shoe Flashes Manually==

Slide a Speedlite or other manual flash into the top shoe of a FlexTT5 for manual triggering without cords. You can also use a manual flash in the top shoe of an on-camera MiniTT1 or FlexTT5. No configuration of the radio is necessary.

==Triggering Studio Strobes==
You can use a receiving FlexTT5 to trigger studio strobes. Use our [http://www.pocketwizard.com/support/cable_finder/ Cable Finder] to find the right cable for lots of different strobes.

If you’re using a PocketWizard Plus, [[Plus II]], [[MultiMAX]], or [http://www.sekonic.com/ Sekonic Meter]as a transmitter, be sure to set the FlexTT5 to receive on a Standard Channel via [[Misc_Tab#Basic_Trigger|Basic Trigger Mode]]. This can be set in the [[PocketWizard Utility]], under the [[Misc Tab]] while shooting on-location via Learn Mode. See the tutorial on [[Learn Mode]] here.

'''Note:''' Do not connect a flash to the camera port (P1) on a FlexTT5 or FlexTT6. You could damage your radio. This port is for triggering Canon motor drives only and isn’t designed for the trigger voltages used by some flashes.
