PocketWizard Plus X Transceiver 801-129
The PocketWizard Plus X Transceiver 801-129 combines a transmitter and receiver in a single compact unit. It is built for photographers who need reliable wireless triggering for remote camera or flash control. The device works with all Standard Channel-capable PocketWizard gear for broad system integration. Its simple interface suits both newcomers and experienced shooters who value straightforward operation.
Auto-Sensing Transceiver With Relay Modes
The unit operates as an auto-sensing transceiver that switches between transmit and receive roles automatically. It supports Auto-Relay and Transmit Only modes to extend range or simplify multi-light setups. This flexibility helps maintain consistent performance during extended shooting sessions. The internal antenna removes the risk of physical damage while keeping the signal path clear.
Made In The USA With Backlit Channel Dial
Manufactured in the USA, the transceiver measures under 4.2 inches tall and weighs just 4 ounces for minimal bag bulk. Ten selectable channels are set via a backlit dial that stays illuminated for low-light changes. The internal antenna design prevents snagging or breakage on location. Photographers needing more than ten simultaneous channels or advanced grouping features will require a different model.
