Not long ago I blogged about the latest RadioPopper annoucement; the ability to control my flashes using radio is something that I’m desperate for.
Well, PocketWizard haven’t been sitting on their laurels either. Oh no – they’ve done everything possible to make me lust sinfully over yet another piece of gear.
The new controlTL system is just insanely brilliant. Whereas RadioPopper transmits the flash sequence verbatim over the air and then repeats it back to the slave flash, PocketWizard have chosen to interpret the TLL communication between the camera and the flash and then send it directly themselves.
The PocketWizard solution carries many advantages, but Rob Galbraith tells the story well so I won’t bother reiterating it.
That all said, I’m in the same sad place as I with the RadioPoppers – there’s no date annouced for the European version…
