The PocketWizard System of Radio Controls
Photographers can enjoy wireless connectivity to their professional flash and camera equipment
using a variety of different models of the PocketWizard radio controls made by LPA Design.
The first generation of PocketWizard called the "Classic" had 16 channels and was meant to be
mounted to the photographers shirt pocket with a cord connecting it to the camera. The
PocketWizards revolutionized the wireless flash connectivity industry with reliability and range
that no other brand of radio could achieve.
The next generation of PocketWizards has two versions: The PLUS and the MAX.
The PLUS is a 4 channel radio with great range and now is mounted to the camera using a the hot
shoe (top of camera) rather than sitting in a shirt pocket. The MAX is a 32 channel radio that
has 4 (quad) zone selective flash control and many other new features.
The software to the MAX was eventually given an upgrade and the new MultiMAX radio was
born. The MultiMAX was a full two way transceiver that the user could select to transmit or
receive with the flip of a switch, but it still mounted in the camera shoe.
PocketWizard Inside - "The Next Generation":
The newest generation of PocketWizard products take this evolution to the ultimate step.
It puts the radio inside the camera as a very small module with no external device needed. This
leaves the shoe open for an on camera flash. LPA Design with the help of Mamiya America and
many other partner companies have teamed together to bring about "Digital Wireless Freedom" .
This new system of compatible radios and built in modules will all work together to make
wireless photographic controls a standard in the industry.
The antenna for this radio system plugs into the front PC connector on the camera.
The radio can intelligently detect if a regular PC cable is attached, or if an antenna is attached.
The radio is only activated if it sees an antenna connected.
