->> Hopefully it won't suffer the interference issues that plagued the Canon version. I haven't been too wild about the range and reliability of mine.

->> I purchased a set of two TT5's and one TT1 when they first came out last spring and had a ton of issues with them being unreliable (even with firmware updated, the little mesh bags to prevent RF issues, etc.)

I used them on different bodies, different flashes, in every combination imaginable and could not get reliable results.

Pocketwizard replaced all my early units with current ones about 3 weeks ago and they now work great (the new replacement units). I would recommend if you have early units that don't work well, call Pocketwizard and get them to replace them.

Whatever changes they have made internally really work. I get very consistent reliable results with them now.

->> That transmitter is huge IMO. I'm not sure why you'd want to use a Flex on the camera, but the Mini's look pretty good. I've been on fence about these....getting tired of waiting though...I might have to resort to RPs.
