Pocket Wizard Woes…
Hey Techs, just got back from a shoot in a really remote location where I had the misfortune of finding out that if a regular Pocket Wizard (Plus, not II) is left on until the battery runs out, you may end up with a dead unit. Mine was out cold, and no battery swap or reset or anything would get it to work. We did have a hard wire backup, but I’ve never seen this before and wanted to pass it on. Make sure your PW’s are turned off, or be extra cautious and pull the batts if you know you won’t be using them for awhile or if they might get switched on during transit.
