Reasons Why You Need a PocketWizard MultiMAX Transceiver
Functions
1. REAR CURTAIN SYNCH MODE:
Capturing ambient streaks of light at slow
shutter speeds and then freezing the
moving action with a sudden burst of flash
is what rear curtain synch effects are all
about. Until recently, only a few had
access to this kind of control, but now the
MultiMAX offers it as one of its many
features. In rear curtain synch mode, you
can delay the flash triggering time (synch)
to fir
e the flash near the end of the
exposure. Pre-programmed shutter speeds
of 1 second to 1/60th of a second make
setup quick and easy. Custom delay
settings are possible for fine-tuning the
effect through the MultiMAX’s delay time
adjustment screen.
2. PRECISION DELAY MODES: In Transmit
mode the MultiMAX offers custom set
delay times for remote cameras or flash
units, as well as the Flash/Port 2 on the
MultiMAX. Delayed or rear curtain effects
are now possible with on-camera flash
units in addition to remote flash units. In
Receive mode, precision delay offers
delayed sequencing or camera/flash
synchronization.
3. MUL
TIPOP MODE: When depth of field
is required beyond the capabilities of your
flash equipment, multiple manual flash
exposures become necessary. To avoid
the inconsistencies of manually triggering
your flash units, the MultiPop mode
provides up to 10,000 unattended multiple
flash exposur
es. It will trigger your flash
unit(s) for the desired number of exposures,
and then it will wait for the r
equired flash
recycling time (user settable), from 1/100th
sec. up to 10 minutes.

PocketWizard MultiMAX set for rear curtain

ynch. This image was captured with a medium
format camera set to a slow shutter speed to

nhance the light striking effect.

. Delay sequential flash triggering of five zones
o
f lighting created this image. One of the five
z
ones of lighting was positioned behind glass
below the water line to illuminate the pool. The
flash units were delay triggered at different
stages of the dive. Both flash units and multiple
cameras (Nikon and Mamiya RZ67 Pro II) were
triggered and controlled by PocketWizards.
3. Three separate flash exposures or Multi-Pops were triggered wirelessly with PocketWizards to create
this image. Using a Mamiya RZ67 Pro II and flash power packs with PocketWizard radio slaves connected,
three images of each of the gymnasts were captured. Bright ambient light from Quartz lighting provided
just enough available light to cr
eate light str
eaks giving the image a powerful sense of motion.
