The Pocket Wizard AC3 ZoneController allows you to control your flash set up directly from your camera's position. Simply add it to your on-camera MiniTT1Transmitter or FlexTT5 Transceiver and you instantly have three zones of flash control whether working in E-TTL II or Manual model. Put your flashes wherever you want without worrying about having to access them during a shoot. With the AC3 ZoneController, you are in total control of your flash. Three clearly labeled dials allow you to increase or decrease power to three zones of flash in 1/3-stop increments with a range of up to six stops. Three switches allow you to change zones between Manual, Auto (PowerTracking/E-TTL II) or OFF. Best of all, the design is simple with an intuitive interface. A firmware upgrade is now available for TT1 and TT5 via the Pocket Wizard website.  More

        This 'triple' product for Nikon was recommended to me for its simplicity, reliability and effectiveness over Nikon's own off-camera flash system. Expensive but worth every penny as i finally had one of those lightbulb moments with how to get the most out of off-camera flash/lighting.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

            Brilliant, adds wireless manual power level control for three groups. Personally though, I use the manual power more than TTL with compensation, so the -3 to +3 scale is tricky to immediately translate into manual power levels.

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
