For remote “finish line” cameras or any remote camera where a long motor
drive burst is desired, consider the following:
• Set a long contact time (for example, 1.50 seconds) on the remote receiving unit. If
range is an issue or remote operation is intermittent, this will help. If any single trigger
is received, a long burst is guaranteed. Contact time is set by pressing * B A.
• Trying to get a remote camera to trigger as fast as the master camera in your hands
by having the transmitting PocketWizard connected to the shoe or PC of the master
may be problematic. Cameras are not designed to be triggered like a high speed hot
shoe ash – for example ve very short triggers in under one second. This may confuse
the remote camera, cause it to not trigger, or cause it to trigger sporadically. Instead of
relying on the shoe trigger, use either:
» A button cable (BT1 or BT3) connected to PORT 1 of the transmitting unit.
Tape this button to the grip of the master camera.
» A –P cable (pre-release/pre-trigger cable) connected from the motor
drive of the camera in your hands to PORT 1 of the transmitting MultiMAX.
This causes the transmitting unit to be triggered as you press all the way
down on your camera’s shutter release. You must use a –P cable and it
must be set to OFF for this to function properly.
