PocketWizard RF Soft Shield is Free

Monday PocketWizard will announce that the new AC5 RF Soft Shield will be given to all FlexTT5 owners free of charge.

A couple of weeks ago I posted an iPhone update on YouTube about the new RF Soft Shield for the PocketWizard Mini and Flex. The big question was simple, “How much is this going to cost?” The answer: nothing. That’s right, everyone who owns a FlexTT5 can get a free AC5 RF Soft Shield from PocketWizard until January 31, 2010. Units sold in the future will have the RF Shield included in the box.

Getting a free RF Soft Shield is as simple as visiting this page: http://www.pocketwizard.com/news_events/promotions/ac5

I’ve been playing with the RF Shield, some call it “the sock”, for a few weeks now and the results are simply amazing. I’m getting ranges of several hundred yards. I’ve put the flash behind electrical units, football fields away, and had no failures. The truth is that I’ve been able to control my flash at such great distances that it’s not even practical. I’m not sure when I’d ever need to shoot with my flash 200 yards away, but I could.

The true benefit isn’t the extreme range but the reliable reception. 580 EX II owners can place their flashes anywhere they want with the confidence that the flash will fire and the exposure will be correct. But don’t take my word for it, check out this video and see for yourself.

How about they build the sock inside the TT5 so 1) you don't look like an idiot and 2) so PW doesn't damage their already damaged reputation. Or just go with a better solution like the radio poppers.

Cool

If they build it inside the TT5, it would effectively block all the useful RF (the signal from the master), not just the RF interference from the flash unit.

Well, what do I know. I just think that putting a bag around your flash to fix something that should work on its own (like other radio triggers do) is just hilarious. Next, they'll be coming out with multi-colored flavors to try to make it trendy.

PW communicates on European version to be not really affected by this radio perturbation … any information relative to that ? ?

I am glad that they have worked out the issues with their product and are going to be offering it for free, I won't feel bad now about getting a set of these for use with my gear for use.

I have 3 Flex TT5 units and have had nothing but problems with my 580EX II's. This really gives me hope! In the video was the flash head a 580 EXII??

Yes, it was a 580EXII. Are you coming to the Meetup tour? We'll be giving the soft shields to anyone who brings in their Flex. http://blog.snapfactory.com/?p=936

Not to mention the fact that putting on gels, barn doors, etc. will be a real PITA with this 'fix'.

I tried to get AC5's for my three TT5's but the form said that my email was in the database and wouldn't let me enter the serial numbers. I sent an email query about this to PocketWizard a couple of days ago but they have not responded. I feel a touch of frustration coming on.
