Remote Camera Triggering - Canon MiniTT1 Owner's Manual

Remote Camera Triggering

As with other PocketWizard radios, the MiniTT1 and FlexTT5
can be used to trigger a remote camera. To perform this operation
a PocketWizard motor drive cable is required. For cameras with
Canon's E3 connector, you need the PocketWizard CM-E3-ACC
cable. For cameras with Canon's N3 Motor drive connector, you
need the CM-N3-ACC cable.
1. Slide the FlexTT5 onto the shoe of the remote camera to
be triggered.
2. Connect the motor drive cable from
FlexTT5 to the remote terminal on the camera.
3. Use the MiniTT1 or any PocketWizard Transmitter to trigger
If you are using the MiniTT1 radio as the transmitter, be sure
to hold it properly to maximize range. Using the MiniTT1 in this
manner causes a large drain on the coin cell battery. To maintain
the best battery life, use a FlexTT5 or another PocketWizard as
the hand held transmitter.
NOTE:
With this remote camera setup you are engaging
Auto-Relay Mode and sending triggers one channel higher. Read
more about that mode for information about using a camera with
remote flash.
NOTE:
The FlexTT5 should be in the shoe of the remote camera
to be triggered. Removing it from the shoe may cause unwanted
triggering to occur.
NOTE:
Continuous motor drive triggering of remote cameras is
not available. Single shot mode is required.
