 Couldn't live without it April 7, 2008

I've worked with a lot of other photographers at weddings or other events and they all used the Pocket Wizard. These things work without failure. The radio signal is more reliable than an optical slave. With a range of like 1600 feet, you are pretty much covered in any situation you would find yourself in as a photographer.
They are essential in my studio work too. I use different combinations of lights, even different brands. Alien Bees, Speedotron, and even a shoe mount light as a hair light. The Pocket Wizard makes them all work together, which gives me a lot more flexibility in terms of what I can do for creative lighting.
You might have to pick up a special adapter for some lights. For instance, I had to pick up a "mini to household" cable to get the pocket wizard to sync with my Speedotron Brown line lights. I also picked up a "Hot shoe to mini" adapter so that I could use it with my SB-800 speedlight mounted on a light stand. But it comes with a mini-to-mini cable that works with Alien Bees, Studio Max, and other popular lights right out of the box.
It would be nice if they were a little cheaper but I can't really complain about the price because they have been so useful to me.

In this day and age of Frivalous Law suits, you can not afford to have cords laying all over your studio. It goes without saying that it looks completely and utterly amateurish at that. This unit is great in and out of the studio. I especially enjoy it on location where I can set my lights near the subject and get some spectacular shots from afar. Coupled with the LC-5 wireless remote on my Canon EOS 1DS Mark III makes it exceptionally useful when shooting in the studio.
I only have one negative and that is you better make sure you have the right adapter cable for your strobes since it doesn't come with one.
Reliable, expensive August 22, 2007

I bought four of these after many failed shots with the Nikon SU800, which is part of the CLS (Cantankerous Lighting System). The Pocket Wizards do what they are supposed to do every time, and they should for what they cost.
You can feel good about buying this product. It is one of the few photographic products made in the USA.
Expensive but it works. January 19, 2009

These triggers are extremely expensive but they are in industry standard. If you talk to any professional photographer they use Pocketwizards. If you want to be taken seriously then you must own at least a few. Amazingly enough even on Ebay used Pocketwizards go for abou 90% of the retail price. To me its just better to pay full retail and get the 3 year warranty. An ideal setup is pocketwizards and then use a Sekonic Light Meter with built in Pocketwizard transmitter. It allows you to fire the strobes up to 100feet from the meter. This keeps you from tripping on codes and most sync cables are 10ft. Pocketwizards are made in the USA which is great in these difficult economic times.
Easy to use and reliable January 28, 2009

Just as advertised the PocketWizard is easy to use and reliable. Just take note if you are trying to trigger a camera you will need an extra cable (not included) which can add to the cost. Also if you are triggering studio flash with a mini to mini audio cable make sure the cable is mono not stereo.
