Product Information

Full details

The PocketWizard MM1 Flash Sync Cable is an essential tool for professional and enthusiast photographers who need to remotely trigger off-camera flashes using a 3.5mm (1/8-inch) mono sync terminal. It provides reliable, wired connectivity for a wide range of strobe systems including Alien Bees, Broncolor, and Elinchrom, significantly improving lighting flexibility for studio or location shoots. A notable caveat is the fixed 16-inch (0.3m) length, which is optimal for attaching triggers directly to flash packs but may limit distance if the receiver is positioned far from the light source.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this cable be used with a 1/4-inch port?

No, this cable is designed specifically for 3.5mm (1/8-inch) mono sync terminals. You would need an adapter to use it with larger ports.

Is this cable compatible with all PocketWizard models?

It is compatible with any PocketWizard receiver featuring a 3.5mm sync output port.

What is the length of the cable?

The cable is 16 inches, or approximately 0.3 meters long.

Does this cable support TTL (Through-The-Lens) metering?

No, this is a basic sync cable meant for triggering flashes and does not transmit TTL data.

Why is one end right-angled?

The right-angle connector is designed to sit flush against your equipment, reducing the risk of the cable catching on objects and minimizing mechanical strain on the flash sync port.

Troubleshooting

Flash not firing when shutter is pressed

Verify that both ends of the cable are fully inserted into the ports and ensure the receiver is turned on and receiving a signal from your transmitter.

Intermittent triggering

Inspect the cable for any physical damage or kinks and check the sync port on your flash for signs of wear or debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, reliable signal transmission for flash triggering
  • Right-angle connector reduces strain on ports
  • Compact length prevents messy cable tangles
  • Wide compatibility with popular studio lighting systems

Cons

  • Fixed 16-inch length may be too short for some mounting configurations
  • Requires specific 3.5mm mono terminal compatibility
  • Wired connection lacks the mobility of wireless-only setups

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the MM1, simply insert the 3.5mm plug into the corresponding sync port on your flash unit and the receiver. Ensure both ends are fully seated to avoid intermittent firing. This cable is compatible with systems like Broncolor, Visatec, and Bronica 6x6/645. For maintenance, keep the connectors free of debris and avoid sharp bending of the cable near the terminal to prevent internal wire breakage. Store the cable in a cool, dry place and coil it loosely when not in use to maintain the integrity of the shielding.
