I will try to make this as short as possible and i hope someone sometime will find this information useful.
Problem 1
I had 3 US TT5 triggers for Canon, bought 1 more used from adorama....didn't work with the ones i had. Well trying to figure out why, i noticed the firmware said European. I did some research and us and euro pocketwizards use different frequencies so you cant mix them. Ok ill send it back for a refund since it was not labeled as euro. Frustrating but not a huge deal
Problem 2
I had 2 canon 430exII flashes work fine with the TT5 triggers no problems and full functionality off camera except for off camera TTL but that's because i'm using a T4i and they have not done any firmware changes for that model, but the 2 Yongnuo YN568 flashes i had ordered had arrived and apparently they wont work mounted to the TT5 units...well damn. Ok so i wanted to see if they would trigger through the PC cord from the TT5 units. The TT5 units are 3.5mm and the YN568 are 2.5mm so of the the store to get an adapter. I plug them all in and they trigger fine but of course no HSS this way and they only sync to 1/200 of camera this way but my canon 430exII's will sync at 1/250 off camera with out the TT5's. Oh yeah the AC Zone controller will not work with the 2 Yongnuo YN568 flashes either.
Problem 3
I want to be able to trigger all 4 flashes with HSS off camera and since i cant do it with the Flex/TT5 triggers working with the 2 Yongnuo YN568 flashes. I am kinda frustrated. No sure what route i am going to take yet.
Maybe that will be useful for someone someday or maybe not but i thought i would post it on the World Wide Interweb for someone someday.
