Congratulations on your purchase of the PocketWizard MiniTT1™/ FlexTT5™System for
Canon DSLR E-TTL II cameras and flashes. Canon owners can use the MiniTT1 Transmitter and
FlexTT5 Transceiver to control single or multiple off-camera Canon E-TTL II ashes at speeds up to
8fps. The PocketWizard ControlTL™ System takes the complex E-TTL II data being sent through
the camera’s hot shoe and digitally interprets and transmits it as a reliable radio signal. You can now
place E-TTL II (or manual) ash units anywhere to illuminate the scene: Around corners, out-of-sight
and in bright sunlight. The MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 are compatible with any PocketWizard for triggering
manual ash or remote cameras.
This US FCC/Canada IC frequency PocketWizard radio slave is compatible with all US frequency
PocketWizard products. It is not frequency compatible with CE or JAPAN PocketWizard products. Verify
frequency compatibility before purchasing. The MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 are protected by various patents
and other patents pending.
Congratulations

Batteries
CAUTION
Turn OFF your equipment (PocketWizard units, electronic
flash units, cameras, etc.) before making connections or
changing batteries.
FlexTT5:
Install 2 fresh AA (IEC:LR6) batteries into the FlexTT5
Transceiver. Make sure to note proper polarity. Alkaline batteries
are recommended. Rechargeable or other chemistry batteries
will also work, though life expectancy may vary.
Life expectancy = ~60 hours with alkaline batteries
MiniTT1:
Install a fresh CR2450 or CR2354 coin cell battery into the
MiniTT1 Transmitter. Make sure to note proper polarity.
The CR2450 is recommended for longer battery life. The MiniTT1
saves batteries by automatically entering an extremely low power
state when the camera enters sleep mode, or if not on a camera
and TEST is not pressed for 10 seconds.
Life expectancy = 100’s of hours/thousands of triggers and varies
based on usage prole
MiniTT1 and FlexTT5:
Look at the normal LED blink to determine battery level,
or use the PocketWizard Utility.
LED Blink:
Green Good battery
Amber Warning – battery low
Red Very low battery – change immediately

MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 Key Features
ControlTL: PocketWizard’s newest rmware platform taps into the camera’s digital communications
to enable an entirely new level of remote ash capabilities through our proven radio system, beginning
with remote TTL for Canon E-TTL II ash systems with Slide-n-Shoot Simplicity.
HyperSync - Achieve better than X-sync with many
cameras and ashes – up to 1/500th second.
FP/High-Speed Sync: Need more speed? Push
beyond 1/500th and go into FP/High-Speed sync mode
automatically. No buttons to press or settings to change
other than your shutter speed will give you ash sync
all the way to 1/8000th.
Power Tracking: When working in E-TTL II, you can
change any of your control settings on your ash or
camera and the system adjusts for those changes.
Eight Frames per second: Never before have you
been able to shoot remote E-TTL II at this speed.
Nothing else comes close.
Low Profile Design: The FlexTT5 lies at to stay out of
the way and uses a ip-up antenna for additional range
when needed. The MiniTT1, with an internal antenna,
weighs in at 2.3 oz. and is the smallest PocketWizard
ever.

READ ME FIRST
If this is the first time you are using a remote E-TTL II flash system, we recommend you
consult your camera and flash manuals for your camera for the basics of positioning your
flash units.
Review the owner’s manuals for your camera and flash system. For most basic functions
when using Canon’s system or PocketWizard’s, operation is identical. Important exceptions
will be noted in this manual.
All equipment should be turned OFF when making connections, otherwise unwanted
triggering may occur when inserting or removing a flash or camera cable.
The first exposure after making initial connections or powering on may not be properly
exposed. The first shot is a camera calibration shot. Always test fire at least twice!
You may use a FlexTT5 as a transmitter instead of a MiniTT1 in all scenarios.
Make sure all PocketWizard radios are set to the same PocketWizard channel. The
PocketWizard channel is used instead of Canon’s E-TTL II communication channel.
See the LEARN Modeand channels sectionfor more information.
IMPORTANT: Canon flashes set to <SLAVE> and connected to FlexTT5 radios will have
slave mode automatically turned off, but will still function as slaves correctly. Set the
Canon slave group via the FlexTT5 Zone Switch.
Only compatible Canon Speedlites can be used in the MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 hot shoe.
Other brands of hot shoe flashes, E-TTL compatible or manual, will not trigger.
