What does a radio trigger need to be? First; it needs to fire; second, it needs to be reliable; and third, it needs to be compatible. The PocketWizard Plus X fills all the above.
When the PocketWizard Plus X first came out I purchased my first set of PocketWizard remotes because they were only $99 at launch. I had been using a set of no-name triggers from an auction site which were hit and miss every shot.
The PocketWizard Plus X changed all that. I now had a set of radio triggers that just worked. It did not matter what I did with them or where I hid them for a setup; they never failed to trigger.
Now that I have owned them for a while I have seen my creativity boosted because of the ability to place my lights where I want to instead of making sure I always had line-of-sight to the sensor.
As my lighting kit grows I know that all PocketWizard triggers are backwards compatible and the Plus X will be with me for a long time and keep on working.
The PocketWizard Plus X changed the way I look at lighting situations and helped my art and craft grow; it is a professional level product on an amateur's budget, the perfect combination.
