 Adorama Crummy Customer Service August 29, 2008
The Pocketwizard is probably overpriced, since it has been the only game in town, but it works as it should. That may change with the new Radio Poppers coming out. Anyway, I own 3 Pocketwizards. I love them & use them all the time.
My opinion of Adorama is less positive. They sent me an opened, obviously used PW, sold as new. I notified Adorama about it, and they offered to send a replacement. I wanted them to pay the return shipping on the used one. They never responded to that request. Very disappointed in Adorama. I go to B&H for my photo gear now.

Great product, but make sure you have the right cable. May 17, 2008

Some basics: you will use this product most often with studio strobe lights and possibly to trigger your camera remotely (I haven't done that).
I own two Pocket Wizzard transceivers that I use with my 3-light Alien Bees strobe light set up. I attach one to the flash shoe on my Nikon D2Xs and another using the Hildozine Caddy attached to the light stand on one of my strobes. The caddy attaches very firmly and holds the Pocket Wizzard very well.
The only thing to remember is you must have a cable to attach the Pocket Wizzard to the strobe light. Alien Bees use a small plug, and I mistakenly bought a cable and adapter that was the wrong size, which delayed my use of the Pocket Wizzard. The other strobes are fired automatically when they sense the strobe fired by the Pocket Wizzard (at least on the Alien Bees strobes it works that way).
I would rate this a 5-star if the cable wasn't an issue.

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.
