Pocket Wizard ST4 Power Receiver for Elinchrom RX Flash Units (Black)
The PowerST4 Receiver enables remote power control of Elinchrom RX flashes with a camera-mounted PocketWizard MiniTT1 Transmitter or FlexTT5 Transciever. PocketWizard ControlTL technology allows you to control the flash power level using the camera’s Flash Exposure Control (FEC). The PowerTracking feature automatically adjusts flash power to maintain the photographer-established level and thus proper exposure when the aperture and/or ISO is changed. Slide the new PocketWizard AC3 ZoneController into the shoe of the camera-mounted MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 and ST4 linked Elinchrom RX flashes can be controlled in three zones: A, B, and C in 1/3-stop increments over a six-stop range. The ST4 can also receive standard PocketWizard signals from a Plus, Plus II and MultiMAX transmitter. Set for Channel 1 at the factory, the ST4 can be easily set for any of the 20 ControlTL or 32 standard channels using the units' LEARN function or by USB connection with the PocketWizard Utility software. The PowerST4 draws its power directly from the Elinchrom RX flash remote control socket; there’s no need to install or replace batteries. The PocketWizard PowerST4 is a must-have for Canon photographers using PocketWizard with Elinchrom RX flash units.
Color: Black Brand: Pocket Wizard Model: ST4 Dimensions: 2.20" h x 1.00" w x 3.60" l, .77 pounds Uses All PocketWizard Channels: The PowerST4 can be programmed as needed with up to 20 ControlTL channels for Manual Power Control, or 32 standard channels for simple triggering. Programmable and Upgradeable: Use the PocketWizard Utility with the PowerST4?s USB port to program the receiver to any PocketWizard channel and zone. Manual Power Control: When the PowerST4 is paired with either the MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 on camera Use the AC3 ZoneController to control up to three zones of light with as many lights in each zone as you want. Use the A-B-C zone switch on the PowerST4 to assign the zone. HyperSync: HyperSync allows achieving faster X-sync speeds, as fast as 1/8000 second, with full power flash to better freeze action and use wide apertures in bright ambient-light conditions.
PowerST4 About the PowerST4 The PowerST4 Receiver enables remote power control of Elinchrom RX flashes using PocketWizard ControlTL technology. With a MiniTT1 Transmitter or FlexTT5 Transceiver on your camera and a PowerST4 plugged into your Elinchrom RX flash, you can now adjust the flash power settings directly from the camera position. Add the AC3 ZoneController and you can control three different zones of lights in 1/3-stop increments with up to a six-stop range. Utilize PocketWizard's unique features such as HyperSync and Optimized Rear Curtain Sync for maximum control of your lighting. Key Benefits: Use PowerTracking and when you change ISO or aperture, the lights automatically adjust their power setting. Add the AC3 ZoneController to control up to three zones of light independently. Use the AC3's Manual Mode and adjust the output of your Elinchrom RX flashes from the camera position in 1/3rd stop increments. Combine manual and auto modes or toggle zones on and off and unleash your creativity. Use HyperSync to increase your maximum x-sync speed and Optimized Rear Curtain Sync to create natural looking movement in your images.

Pocket Wizard Elinchrom Ranger from R Jeff Bottari, I have very happy since I ordered my power ST4 PocketWizard receiver for Elinchrom RX. I use it on my Elinchrom Ranger RX and could not be happier. Before, I was a PocketWizard Multimax attachment to an Elinchrom sync to minimize whatever flop around and be a pain, trying to keep from swinging everywhere. Use this ST4 receiver makes life easier and more compact shoot with my Ranger unit. You just need Elinchrom Skyport Adapter and you're ready. I did not need to update the firmware, but PocketWizard Utility allows me to get a new update. Thanks Amazon for saving me a few dollars! All 1 reviews ...

Client more useful on 102 of 103 people found this review helpful. Kenko 420-800mm lens by Daniel Lee Okay I have in this the Canon EOS mount .. in fact they are all the same, only ships with another T-mount adapter, and comes with a fair 420-1600 2x teleconverter. This is a very clear objective, especially for its focal length, has no aperture blades, it is completely empty inside, is like a telescope by hand the old man. When sources of strong contrast / light is coming towards the camera, expect heavy chromatic aberration, chromatic aberration in no other circumstances. However, I found a particularly excellent use for this purpose, which is to take great pictures of the moon on a tripod with a cable release on my Canon 30D. Although be warned, the target physically is very long, although light, it is focusing very difficult, especially on a tripod is because there are no tripod mount, the camera on a tripod, if a zoom lens the whole way (linear pull zoom) lens is longer than 30 cm (12 inches!), although light because its empty, its support as to the tripod base to the camera when the lens or camera or the focus ring, the image combined viewfinder shakes like crazy trying to concentrate, making it difficult to concentrate on the application help with this goal .. on a tripod. You can use this lens hand in broad daylight instead, and if you pretend you are a shutter speed of 1 / 500 sec to blur remove anything from your own movement (due to the massive focal length) is 1 / 250 sec, the minimum for I personally was able to obtain sharper images. And shooting in daylight, whether hand or a tripod, you will want to use a filter 1A heaven and a polarizing filter (or at least one of them) to enhance color and contrast, luckily it comes with an addition of this screw-in lens hood of the lens easily, so you can clean the lens elements, if they ever develop fungus, good for this purpose is water does not hurt, and it has not even open the sheet glass and coated metal alone. Even from the top of the screws, you can cut out a circle of some black card then a hole in the center and inserted in the center of the lens to create your own opening to try to improve sharpness and increase depth of field, and reduce aberration and flare, etc. I hope this helps. Moreover, forgot to mention that this goal has pretty good macro function (in terms of extending the close focus objects with minimal depth of field). October 10 people found this review helpful. Useful, but only in specific situations by randible I did not expect too much from this product considering the price, but I found it useful so far I've used for some animals, photography, and handheld can be used in the full sun. But if you try to use to shoot the moon, I found it too difficult to aim accurately, even with a sturdy frame due to camera movement when focusing. While chromatic aberration can be corrected somewhat, but a negative impact on the overall image quality at high target lengths. Finally, when using the supplied double teleconverter reduces the minimum aperture is f/16 at full zoom. 7 of 19 people found the following review helpful. Great product by Michael Kappel Simple and good quality items. It is a very powerful telescope for your camera. All 3 reviews ....

Customer more profit on 180 of 181 people found this review helpful. With the good battery, a fantastic little device ... Mercedes L. I was using the Kodak Z712 Johnmeyer for the past two years and I love it. However, for a holiday, then it was a bit 'bigger I liked it. I did not want to reduce the size of a 12x zoom to 3X, so I continued using it until something else caught my attention. Enter the Z1485. A good little camera. I received the camera in mid-December. I used the battery that came with it, a non-rechargeable KLIC-8000 Li-Ion battery. It lasted about a month, throughout the Christmas (during which I took lots of pictures) and regular daily peaks (I have a month 11 years, so I take a lot!). I just changed the battery a few days ago to a rechargeable battery KLIC-8000 Li-Ion battery. If you buy this camera, make sure you buy the right battery for this. Of course, you suck normal AA batteries, is a powerful and just shoot. Picture quality is fantastic (remember, I'm just a random picture taker day-to-day pictures of my son and family outings). All the pictures I have downloaded my Kodak program and has been beautifully printed. I usually use the smart scene, but sometimes (like at Christmas) I use other options such as setting light to light for pictures of the Christmas tree. They came out perfect, everything nice and soft. The size of the camera itself is perfect ... I bought an iPod case for jog it, so I can wear it around my wrist or arm during the holidays (nice that the camera always at hand) and it fits pretty well. I have always used Kodak for their children's basic approach to image acquisition, and adjusts the camera at a discount. I'm so glad I upgraded. I will always love my Z712, but this little guy has everything I need. Let yourself be deterred by the mediocre reviews here. Most people do not regularly use AA batteries in a digital camera. It sucks the life out of them in no time. With good batteries, this camera is light, clear, and does a great job all! 59 of 66 found this camera great good, not what I expected. For the star Sirius found this camera at a price that makes it worth a try. And I tried. I would not say it was a disappointment, but certainly not what I wanted. I'm really a point and shoot type of photographer - as seen in my limited jargon below. My conclusion: Pros: Smart Capture is a nice feature that automatically determines the best settings for what we are trying to take a photo. (Perfect for point and shoot types). Button placement is quite intuitive. Cons: No viewfinder. This is obviously a matter of taste, but I found it hard to take pictures in bright sunlight and night shots (lots of pixelation and stripes on the screen). USB cable is very fragile and easily damaged. Many comments I've read, there are a lot of complaints about battery life. My only complaint about the batteries is that was after about 40 shots, the start time between shots and increased significantly - many missed opportunities, most of my night shots were blurry, even if the camera was on a stable surface. Close-up night shots came very pixelated. Face capture never works (even if it could be user error). 14 of 14 people found this review helpful. For exceptional clarity K. Kersten of adrenaline-filled amateur photographer was after, I took the camera Kodak C330, C813 and Z1275 for years to take pictures in caves deep, climbing or rafting. I'm really through the images, the Kodak is the output Z1485IS impressed. The photos are beautiful, strong and contain an incredible amount of detail. The first day I a selection of photos of flowers and took them found a bug, it seemed a journal Nature image! Each image seems to look great when I use Auto Select and connected to recording HD video is fantastic, although many.
