Digital camera reviews of PocketWizard MiniTT1 Radio Transmitter for Canon TTL Flashes and Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: ...after using these for a while
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
My experiences and the resulting review are the result of working with the transmitter (MiniTT1) and transceiver (FlexTT5) for a little while. Others have already posted copious reviews including massive amounts of useful details and chronicles of their pains in getting the units working.
Here is the bottom line: You need to load the firmware upgrades if your units don't come with them already installed. Once loaded you will have a rock solid wireless connection between your camera and your flash.
The competition: There are other "tiers" of wireless flash controllers available and different pricing levels. Cowboy studios and others have them for about 10% the cost and they work most of the time at distances of ten's to maybe 100 feet. There is tremendous variability because the actual manufacturer can change from one week to the next and quality control can be problematic. There is also no on-camera flash control. However, if you are, for example, shooting portraits in a studio setup these may not be a bad alternative. Alien Bee has wireless controllers for for about half the cost. A bit more if you want at-camera flash control and less if you don't. They are reliable and well built but the "at-camera" control unit is cumbersome and not well integrated to the camera.
The MiniTT1/FlexTT5 combo provide a wireless connection that acts as if your flash was attached to your camera. Beyond that, the MiniTT1 (transmitter) is very low profile. That's important if you're moving around a lot such as at a wedding. It's like working with nothing stuck to your camera (as opposed to the original pocketwizard that seemed to get caught on everything).
Here's the real bottom line: If you make money with a camera then any of the bottom tier units is just wrong. The Alien Bee can work well but the additional features features provided by this generation of PocketWizards probably make them your best choice.

Summary of PocketWizard MiniTT1 Radio Transmitter for Canon TTL Flashes and Digital SLR Cameras
The MiniTT1 transmitter is a low-profile unit that slides directly into the camera?s hot shoe. It takes the complex TTL flash data sent through the camera?s hot shoe contacts and transmits it in a secure, unique PocketWizard radio signal. Flash units must be mounted on a FlexTT5 transceiver (ordered sepretaly) for TTL operation or any PocketWizard unit for manual operation. Shoot up to 1/8000 sec. with high-speed flash sync or up to 1/500 sec. with full power flash using exclusive PocketWizard HyperSync. Unique ControlTL system enables shooting remote autoflash at up to 8fps. As all communication takes place through the dedicated hot shoes, there is no need for cables, brackets, VelcroŽ or tape to use them. The MiniTT1 transmitter can be used for TTL auto flash up to 800 feet* and conventional triggering up to 1200 feet*. The unit feature a two-position channel selector that is factory programmed to the PocketWizard classic channel one and two. Using the included software and USB port, you can program either channel to any of the PocketWizard system?s 32 digitally encoded channels and four zones. A special Learning Mode enables simple, in-the-field programming of all channels. Compatible with the following: Canon DSLR Cameras: 1Ds MKIII, MKII; 1D MKIII; MKII; 1DMKII N; 5D, 5D MKII; 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D; Rebel XT/350D, Rebel XTi/400D, Rebel XS/1000D, Rebel XSi/450D Canon Flash Units: 580EX, 580EXII, 430EX, and 430EXIIFlashes
