After more than a decade of reliability, success and popularity, the legacy of the PocketWizard Plus Series continues with its most advanced and yet easy-to-use next generation radio transceiver, the affordable PocketWizard Plus III Transceiver. Modelled to fit the needs and budget of the Plus Series market, the Plus III offers significant upgrades only found on the ultimate PocketWizard: the MultiMAX. Impressive features such as 32 channels (16 Standard and 16 Quad-Zone Triggering channels) allow the photographer to activate or deactivate remote flash units or cameras wirelessly in four separately controllable zones (A, B, C, D), just like the MultiMAX.

In addition, the New Plus III Transceiver is a selectable Transmitter, Receiver or Transceiver** radio incorporated into a new contoured modern housing. It offers familiar features such as Auto-Sensing Transceiver Mode and Relay Mode in addition to cool new advanced features never before offered in an affordable radio.

Immediately as you hold the Plus III in your hand, you’ll notice the amber backlit LCD screen and clean layout of the rubberised buttons that drive the Plus III to perform the task at hand. Channels, Quad-Zones, radio mode and even the battery status are all displayed for immediate viewing by the photographer. In addition, the Plus III’s system compatibility (with the MultiMAX) offers MultiMAX shooters, or those who wish they were an affordable opportunity to entire the world of Quad-Zone Triggering, and much more.

* Please note: Our PocketWizards use the 433mhz frequency range which is NOT the same as the US spec PocketWizard which uses 344.04mhz. In Australia the maximum output power in the 344mhz frequency is limited to 10 "microwatt". PocketWizards output at 1 "milliwatt" which renders US spec PocketWizards legally inoperable in Australia. Australian and US PocketWizard units are not compatible with each other for this reason.

** Each PocketWizard is a single unit that acts as either a transmitter or receiver. Two or more PocketWizards are required to trigger off-camera flash units or other cameras.
