PocketWizard AC7 RF Shield Hard Cover
The PocketWizard AC7 RF Shield Hard Cover for the FlexTT5 solves the problem of limited performance of the FlexTT5 radio transceiver when used with the Canon 580EX, 580EX II and 430EX flashes, caused by interference from the flashes.
The AC7 is a hard plastic shield with a special RF coating that effectively prevents RF interference (EMI) from obscuring the FlexTT5 antenna. To prevent noise through the connections in the hot shoe, an electronic filter has been added to a hot shoe built into the AC7. Combined, the AC7 shield allows the FlexTT5 to receive transmissions at distances 300 to 500 per cent greater than before and more than meet most off-camera exposure needs.
The AC7 also features a 1/4"-20 attachment point and an Umbrella holder to position your Flash where you want it. With two 1/4"-20 attachment points, the AC7 can be mounted both vertically and horizontally on light stands, clips, brackets or simply handheld. The back of the Flash remains open for full access to the LCD screen and flash controls, and there is access to the Remote connection. The flash head can be rotated when using the AC7 shield thanks to a small cut-out on the side of the shield. When used with an Umbrella, the flat-lying design of the AC7 places the Flash more in the centre of the Umbrella than normal, creating a symmetrical light shape. Most popular diffusers, grids, snoots and reflectors can still be used with the shield.
