The PocketWizard Plus IV Transceiver is an advanced radio-signal strobe trigger and predecessor to the popular Plus IVe. Key features include:
32 selectable channels and quad-zone triggering
Up to 14.5 fps shooting
Automated switching between transmit and receive modes
Triggers all PocketWizard units
Top Shoe. At long last, the Plus-series PocketWizards have a pass-thru hot shoe for mounting a flash directly without wires. While this is limited to manual triggering (i.e. no TTL) for remote flashes, it’s still great news for anyone who’s ever had to deal with rubber-banding PocketWizards and cables to a flash.
On-Camera TTL Pass-Thru. Need an on-camera flash as well? Not only are you covered, but the Plus IV supports TTL pass-thru with many manufacturers’ flashes when used on-camera. Please note that Sony Multi-Interface cameras and flashes aren’t TTL supported.
Quad-Zone Triggering. You can independently activate and deactivate remote flashes in four controllable zones.
Minimal Interference. With a total of 32 channels—16 of which are Quad-Zone—the Plus IV has plenty of options for shooting in crowded airwaves. The Plus IV uses a radio signal, which means you don’t have to be in its line-of-sight for it to work. Basically, it’ll work if you’re within range (based on environment, up to 1,600 feet in perfect conditions).
Auto-Sensing Transceiver. Automatically swaps between transmit and receive modes as needed. There’s also the option to manually choose transmit or receive for complicated setups.
Multiple Modes. The Plus IV offers many of its predecessor’s modes. Auto-Relay enables remote cameras and flashes to be triggered in tandem, Repeater lets you reach even greater distances when using an extra Plus IV, and High Speed Receive expands the normal 12 fps maximum frame rate to up to 14.5 fps.
Simple User Interface. You can easily manage Channels, Zones, and Modes from the back panel, which includes a one-inch LCD screen with soft-touch buttons.
Sync Input. Sometimes you need to trigger more than just hot shoe flashes. The Plus IV has a 1/8-inch mini input for connecting a sync cable. We include a 1/8-inch to 1/8-inch sync cable for triggering any of our studio strobes. That said, please make sure you have the cables you need to use your personal equipment. We rent additional sync cables here.
PocketWizard Compatible. The Plus IV is compatible with all previous-generation PocketWizards and PocketWizard-enabled strobe units.
Power. The PocketWizard Plus IV transceiver uses two AA batteries (not included).
Just so we’re clear: We don’t know how you’re going to hook up your PocketWizards, what other equipment you’re using them with, or what types of cables you may already have. We’ll only send the cables and PocketWizards you order. If you meant to order something (but didn’t), thought it came with the equipment (it doesn’t), or assumed we knew what you’d need (we don’t), you’ll be using very high ISO on your shoot and we won’t be able to refund you.
