Trigger Time Control

Reasons Why You Need a PocketWizard MultiMAX Transceiver

4. INTERVALOMETER MODE: (Time Lapse

Photography) Because some events take a

long period of time, photographing them

as they unfold can be a real challenge,

especially when you can’t be there. In

Intervalometer mode, selecting the desired

number of exposures, (up to 10,000) and

time between exposures (up to 17 hours

46 minutes) takes just a few key strokes.

5. SPEEDCYCLER MODE: If speed and

power are what you need, the SpeedCycler

mode is a big help for you. Providing

sequential triggering for up to 4 cameras

or 4 electronic flash units, the SpeedCycler

is ideal for multi-angle camera shots or

reducing recycle time by triggering the

next flash in line, while the previous flashes

are recycling. It’s great for faster motor

driven flash photography assignments.

The SpeedCycler mode is also a big help

for on-location shoots with battery-

powered electronic flash units. With four

MultiMAX Transceivers connected to a

camera’s electronic shutter release (motor

drive) port, up to four cameras can be

sequentially fired wirelessly, effectively

quadrupling the frames per second.

6. LAG TIME EQUALIZER MODE:

riggering multiple cameras to synch

with one set of flash units can be difficult,

but Lag Time Equalizer mode assists

the photographer in calibrating the

camera, electr

onic flash unit or both for

simultaneous triggering and exposure

synchronizing. Lag Time Equalizer mode

measur

es the actual time it takes from

the moment the motor driven camera is

activated to the time the shutter is open

with accuracy of 1/10,000th sec. When all

the delay times have been programmed,

the MultiMAX triggers the camera with the

greatest delay first, so that ever

ything is

per

fectly in synch.

7. RELAY MODE: In this mode the

MultiMAX acts as both a transmitter and a

receiver at the same time, triggering both

your camera and flash from up to 1600

feet away. Upon receiving a signal from a

emote transmitter

, the on-camera receiver

switches to transmit mode and sends a

signal to fir

e the r

emote flash units.

4. Using a MultiMAX in intervalometer mode and connected to a motor driven

camera, several images were taken automatically with 30 min gaps between

ach exposure. The final result is an example of the time lapse photography

apabilities of the MultiMAX.

. To create this challenging image, two MultiMAX wireless radios were

connected to two flash units mounted in one light box. Each flash unit

triggered at precisely the right time to create a “front” and "rear" curtain

synch effect. An ambient light source was added to “paint” light on the

model’s movements.
