Pocketwizard AC7 RF Shield

When the MiniTT1 Transmitter and FlexTT5 Transceiver first came out, US photographers struggled with limited range performance when the FlexTT5 (340 - 354 MHz FCC model) was paired with a Canon 430EX, 580EX or 580EX II Speedlite. Radio frequency interference emanating from these flashes around the PocketWizard reception frequency was the crux of the problem. After extensive development and testing there are now two solutions to this RF interference issue. To enhance the ControlTL?System range performance when paired with the Canon 580EX, 580EX II and 430EX flashes, PocketWizard developed the AC7 shield. The body of the AC7 shield is made with a material that effectively blocks RF interference (EMI) from clouding the FlexTT5 antenna. To block noise traveling through connections in the hot shoe, an electronic filter has been added to a hot shoe built into the AC7. Combined, the AC7 shield allows the FlexTT5 to receive transmissions at distances 300 to 500% farther than before and well within the range of most off-camera lighting needs.
