|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Pocketwizard Multimax not triggering TT5 Bradley Leeb, Photographer Champaign | IL | USA | Posted: 12:20 PM on 04.10.16 ->> I'm a little stumped on an issue I'm having combining Multimax units with Flex TT5 and TT1 (Nikon). I am able to fire speedlights connected to Mulitmax units as the receiver when using my TT1 and TT5 units as transmitters, but not vice-versa. When using the Multimax as transmitters, the TT1 and TT5 won't fire speedlights. Yes, I've double checked that I've switched the Multimax unit switch back to "Transmit". Is there another configuration setting I need to change somewhere? Thanks!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

One of those settings is "Transmitter only". I don't know if that's the problem; just an idea. Or maybe the transmit and receive channels are different.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I believe as a receiver, a Flex can only receive on a Standard or TTL channel, but not both. There is a setting for CTL on or off. I'd start there. Sorry if this is being Captain Obvious but I have had the Std channel settings randomly change themselves when I change the CTL settings in earlier versions of the Util.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I'll take a look at those Standard vs. TTL settings when I'm home later. I know for sure that it's not set to Transmitter only though as they will receive when triggered by a TT1, just not with the Multimax.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I'll need to pay attention next time to see if it's the same behavior as you described. Seemed to be a lot more random... sometimes things work as soon as I set it up, other times it won't work no matter what I try, and yet other times I have to swap units all over the place between the camera and the various flashes/strobes. Maddening.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
