PocketWizard AC3 Zone Controller

The AC3 ZoneController for Canon/ Nikon is the gem of the ControlTL™ product line.  Add it to your on-camera MiniTT1™ Transmitter or FlexTT5™ Transceiver and you instantly have three zones of flash control.  Whether working in E-TTL II or Manual mode, you now have control over all your flashes directly from the camera’s position.  Put your flashes wherever you want, without worrying about having to access them during a shoot.  With the AC3 ZoneController, you are in total control of your flash.

Three clearly labeled dials allow you to increase or decrease power to three zones of flash in 1/3-stop increments with a range of up to six stops.  Three switches allow you to change zones between Manual, Auto (PowerTracking/E-TTL II) or OFF.  Best of all, the design is simple with an intuitive interface.  When matched with the PowerST4 or AC9 AlienBees Adapter, you can now control ElinchromRX¹, White Lightning² and AlienBees² flashes right from the camera’s position.

Key Benefits:

·         Three independent zones of flash control

·         6 stops of flash control in 1/3rd stop increments

·         Works in PowerTracking/E-TTL II or Manual mode

·         Turn zones on and off remotely

·         Works with Canon and Nikon Speedlites, AlienBees, White Lightning and Elinchrom RX flash.  (Nikon coming soon).

·         Put your flashes where you want, without worrying about accessing them during a shoot.

Important note: The AC3 Zone Controller requires a MiniTT1 Transmitter or FlexTT5 Transceiver with firmware version 5.150 (or later) as a host. This unit will not function on its own.

1 Elinchrom RX flashes require a PowerST4 Receiver.  Note: Ranger RX requires EL-19374 EL Skyport Transceiver RX Adapter.
2 White Lightning and AlienBees flashes require an AC9 AlienBees Adapter and a FlexTT5 Transceiver on the flash.

Specifications

* Specifications subject to change by the manufacturer without notice

·         ControlTL™:  PocketWizard’s new firmware platform taps into the full potential of your camera and flash system enabling an entirely new level of remote flash capability through our proven radio communications.  ControlTL firmware is configurable and upgradeable for “future-proof” continuous improvement.

·         E-TTL II Compatibility:  Designed to work seamlessly with Canon’s E-TTL II system, the AC3 ZoneController removes operating complexity with its easy-to-use design.  Nikon i-TTL version coming soon.

·         Manual Power Control:  With three simple dials, you can quickly adjust the power settings for three independent zones in 1/3rd stop increments with a six stop range.

·         ZoneControl:  Control up to three zones of light, each with one or more flashes, right from the camera’s position.  Set them all on manual, auto, or mix the settings between zones.  Need to turn a zone off?  Just slide a switch and it’s off.

·         PowerTracking: In Auto Mode, change ISO, aperture, or FEC and the lights automatically adjust their compensating power setting with PocketWizard PowerTracking.  Set your AC3 ZoneController to manual and PowerTracking is turned off for absolute manual control.  PowerTracking can be customized via the PocketWizard Utility.

·         Studio Flash Compatibility:  When used in conjunction with a PowerST4 Receiver for Elinchrom RX, or a FlexTT5 paired with an AC9 AlienBees Adapter, you have remote power control over Elinchrom RX, AlienBees and White Lightning studio flash.  You can also mix these with Canon E-TTL or any other PocketWizard triggered flash.

·         Simple Design:  The AC3 weighs almost nothing and slips into the top-shoe of your on-camera MiniTT1 or FlexTT5.  There are three dials and three switches, one for each zone.

·         Auto-Manual Switch:  This switch allows you to set each zone to either Manual Power Control, Auto (PowerTracking/E-TTL II) or Off.  Set it to off and that zone will not fire.

·         Easy to read dials:  Clearly labeled from +3 to -3 in 1/3rd stop increments.  In Auto mode, the dials act as flash exposure compensation.  In manual mode, +3 on the dial is your flashes maximum power level.  Adjust the dial down to control your power in 1/3rd stop increments for up to six stops of control.
