SUB-PAGE (https://pocketwizard.com/e-release-firmware/) Products – Radios – E Release Firmware – PocketWizard
Get the new PocketWizard E Release!
PocketWizard has been a leader in the radio triggering industry for over 30 years. Our Legacy firmware is legendary for its range and reliability. But we wanted more.
In 2019, we introduced the E Release protocol. This is not a normal firmware update, it is an upgrade and complete protocol change in the way our radios send and receive signals. With the E Release, radio signals now reach farther than they ever have and are less susceptible to outside RF interference for amazing reliability.
The E Release is our new system going forward but instead of having to buy all new radios to get the benefits, you can take advantage of the new system buy upgrading the radios you already own. There is a small one time charge upgrade each radio to access this new technology but any future updates will continue to be free.
This NexGen firmware upgrade will supercharge your PocketWizard®️ radios with more reliability, longer range and better performance. You get it all!
When you upgrade, your radios will:
Overcome ambient RF interference to send and receive signals with greater reliability
Get more than double the range of legacy firmware for remote camera(s) and/or off-camera flash(es)
Pair your PocketWizards with the revolutionary Raven from Fusion TLC
Use Quad Zone Triggering available with all 32 Channels*, instead of just 16
(*Zones are not available with the PlusXe upgrade)
All radios will use the same, single Channel system
Expand the tabs below to see how the E Release upgrade could benefit you!

Features & Benefits
[H4] When you upgrade, your radios will:
Send and receive signals with greater reliability. The firmware makes your radio more resilient to RF noise and interference. Adjacent channel interference is reduced by 99% in events with multiple photographers.
Get more than double the range of legacy firmware for remote camera(s) and/or off-camera flash(es). Legacy firmware could typically reach up to 800-1600 feet. With Long Range (LR) mode, available with the Plus III or Plus IV upgrades, distances have been measured in miles.
Pair your PocketWizards with the revolutionary Raven from Fusion TLC. With FlexTT5 or FlexTT6s, get advanced TTL, power control, and HSS. Use your Plus III and Plus IV radios for advanced HyperSync/SyncView and remote camera triggering with 2 way confirmation.
Use Quad Zone Triggering available with all 32 Channels, instead of just 16. All 32 E Channels have 4 Zones available.
Note: Zones are not available with the PlusXe firmware
All use the same, single Channel system. Instead of ControlTL and Standard Channels, all radios will use the same E Channels so you can mix and match your PocketWizards. There are also 80 new LR Channels for the Plus III and Plus IV, dedicated to triggering cameras in Long Range Mode.
Everything that PocketWizard® does best, made even better – now available worldwide!
Compatibility & Important NotesRadios with the E Release can only communicate with other products using the E Release.
You will need to purchase a Firmware License for each radio you wish to upgrade.  This firmware will only work with other radios that have been upgraded to the E Release, it will not work with radios that are using Legacy firmware.
The PlusX, Plus III, and Plus IV radios are compatible with virtually any camera or flash that can be triggered by a single pin trigger or via the sync port.
The PowerMC2 radios are compatible with the Paul C Buff Einstein, LINK, or Celestial. They are not compatible with DigiBees. You may need to upgrade your flash as well, please contact us for details, especially if you are using the radios with a Raven.
The charts below are for compatibility with the FlexTT5 and/or FlexTT6 radios. Please check your specific camera model below to determine if the E Release is TTL compatible with your camera if you have FlexTT5/FlexTT6 radios. The MiniTT1 cannot be upgraded to the E Release firmware. It will remain a Legacy product and cannot communicate with radios that have been upgraded to the E Release. Virtually all cameras and flashes can be used with Legacy firmware if you set the radios to Basic Trigger mode in PocketWizard Utility.
If your camera is not compatible with the radio as a transmitter, you may be able to use a Raven from Fusion TLC as your transmitter with your PocketWizards as receivers.
Most Sekonic light meters  use our Legacy firmware and cannot communicate with the E Release protocol. The Sekonic L-478DR CAN be sent in for an upgrade in the US. Please contact us before purchasing the L-478DR E Release upgrade.
We are working on options for other Sekonic meters but at this time, only the L-478DR can be upgraded.
Strobes with built-in PocketWizard receivers can only use our Legacy firmware and cannot communicate with the E Release protocol. If you would like to trigger a strobe with a built-in PocketWizard reciever, such as a Profoto or Dynalite, you must use an E Release upgraded PocketWizard connected to the sync port. The internal radio cannot be triggered with the E Release protocol.
Older PocketWizard radios, like the Plus II or MultiMAX, cannot be upgraded to the E Release protocol.

TTL Compatible: The radio can be used with full TTL communication, including TTL, HSS, Power Control, and HyperSync.
TTL Compatible as a Receiver Only: Canon radios only. The radio cannot be used as a transmitter, only as a receiver. You must use a TTL compatible transmitter, such as the Fusion TLC Raven.
Not Compatible as a Transmitter: The FlexTT5 or FlexTT6 radios cannot be used as an on camera transmitter for TTL. You can use them as receivers for TTL when using a Raven by Fusion TLC on the camera. You can use a Plus IIIe or Plus IVe as a transmitter for manual triggering up to X-sync.
Basic Trigger Only – No TTL: This setting will work with virtually any flash or camera on the market. The radios will only use the center pin contact for full manual triggering. The radios must be set to Basic Trigger mode (under the Misc tab in the PocketWizard Utility). The flashes must be set to manual and can sync up to the camera’s X-sync. TTL, HSS, and Power Control are not available in Basic Trigger mode. Basic Trigger mode is only available with Legacy firmware.
* Canon mirrorless cameras including the EOS R, EOS RP, EOS R3, EOS R5, EOS R6, EOS R6 Mark II, R7, and EOS R50.
Specifications
[H4] Which PocketWizard radios can currently be upgraded?
PlusX*
Plus III
Plus IV
FlexTT5 for Nikon
FlexTT5 and FlexTT6 for Canon (as receivers only) **
PowerMC2 (FCC units only) ***
Be sure you purchase the correct version of firmware for your radio and frequency (FCC in North and South America CE for the rest of the world).
Important note: Once you have upgraded your radio, it cannot communicate with a unit that has not been upgraded. However, you can reinstall the legacy firmware at any time and reinstall the E Release as many times as you like.
*The PlusX radios need to be programmed at a board level. You will need to send your PocketWizard to our corporate headquarters to be upgraded.
** The FlexTT5 for Canon and FlexTT6 for Canon with E Release firmware are only usable as receivers, and pair well with the Raven from FusionTLC. A FlexTT5 or FlexTT6 upgraded to the E Release cannot be used as a transmitting radio.
*** The E Release firmware upgrade for PowerMC2 in CE frequency regions is not currently available.
FAQs
[H4]
[H4] Which cameras & flashes are compatible with the E Release?
The PlusX, Plus III, and Plus IV radios are compatible with virtually any camera or flash on the market. The camera must have a center pin contact hot shoe or a PC port and the flash must have a sync port or a hot shoe capable of single pin triggering.
For the FlexTT5 for both Nikon and Canon and the FlexTT6 for Canon, see the compatibility charts.
The PowerMC2 is compatible with the Einstein, LINK, and Celestial flashes from Paul C Buff. (It is not compatible with DigiBees). Note: The latest PowerMC2 E Release firmware upgrade is only compatible with Einstein firmware version 55 or newer.
[H4] Do I have to buy new PocketWizard radios to use the E Release?
The beauty of this update is that most current radio models are USB upgrade-able. See list of radios in question above. If you are using radios that do not have a USB port (such as the Plus or Plus II) or any MultiMAX, you may need to purchase new radios to take advantage of all the new features available in the E Release. The good news is that newly purchased radios include the E Release Firmware License.
[H4] If I buy a new PocketWizard radio, will it have the E Release?
As of October 2024, the PlusX is being sold as either the PlusX or the PlusXe.
All Plus III and Plus IV radios shipped after September 2019 would have the E Release factory installed. Once upgraded, we refer to the units as Plus IIIe and Plus IVe. If you purchased a new Plus III or Plus IV from a PocketWizard Authorized Dealer on or after September 1, 2019, you may be eligible for a free upgrade. Please see our wiki for more information.
The FlexTT5, FlexTT6, and PowerMC2 are available as upgrades only. If you purchased a new FlexTT5 for Nikon or PowerMC2 from a PocketWizard Authorized Dealer on or after February 20, 2020 or a new FlexTT5/FlexTT6 for Canon from a PocketWizard Authorized Dealer on or after January 1, 2022, you may be eligible for a free upgrade. Please see our PocketWizard Wiki for more information.
[H4] Will my upgraded radios work with a PocketWizard radio that has not been upgraded?
Yes and no.
A PocketWizard that has been upgraded to the E Release can only communicate with another PocketWizard that has also been upgraded to the E Release.
However, a PocketWizard that has been upgraded to the E Release CAN be downgraded to the Legacy firmware and will still work with other PocketWizard radios that have not been upgraded.
Once you upgrade to the E Release, the unit is licensed forever to the radio’s serial number. You can connect the upgraded radios to the Utility and select either E Release or Legacy firmware at any time. More details are available in the PocketWizard Wiki.
[H4] How many firmware licenses do I need to purchase?
You will need to purchase a Firmware License for each radio you wish to upgrade. This firmware will only work with other radios that have been upgraded to the E Release, it will not work with radios that have Legacy firmware. You will need to upgrade at least 2 radios to use the E Release.

[H4] How do I upgrade my PocketWizard radios?

For the PlusX, please contact us for details about how to send in your radio for the upgrade.
The license is assigned to the serial number of each radio and is non-transferable.
[H4] Why is there a charge for this new firmware?
The E Release is not a regular firmware update. Those are free of charge and are typically introduced for new camera compatibility or bug fixes. The E Release is a complete protocol change which it totally changes the way your radio w

Your Diagnosis

Before revealing the machine’s verdict, predict the BS score for each signal. Higher = more BS (more fluff, less verifiable substance). Drag each slider, then submit to compare your judgment against the engine.

Information Density 0 / 30
Read the Narrative & headings: do hard facts (prices, dates, numbers) outweigh fluff power-words?
Semantic Coherence 0 / 20
Compare the homepage promise against the sub-page reality. Do they hold the same line?
Trust & Proof 0 / 20
Weigh review mentions against actual external proof links. Claims without verification = theatre.
Commodity Fingerprint 0 / 15
Check headings & narrative against the industry clichés in the setup above.
Identity & Authority 0 / 15
Inspect the schema: is there real Organization/Person identity with sameAs links, or gaps?
Your predicted BS score 0 / 100
💡 Stuck? Reveal the heuristic lens — how the deterministic page-auditor reads each signal (no AI, pure pattern rules)

These are the structural rules a local, deterministic auditor applies — the same lens you can use to judge each signal. They describe what to look for, not this company’s result.

Information Density

Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.

Semantic Alignment

Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.

Trust & Proof

Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.

Commodity Fingerprint

Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.

Identity & Authority

Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.

Want to apply this lens yourself? The free BS Indicator Chrome extension runs these heuristic checks live on any page. Bear in mind it is a single-page, deterministic tool — it relies only on pattern rules for the page in front of it and does not perform the cross-page semantic correlation this audit uses, so its readout is a starting lens, not the full verdict.

PocketWizard is a substance-heavy hardware site that proves its value through exhaustive technical compatibility data.

1. Remove the ‘We are great smart fast’ H3 heading block as it actively degrades the professional brand identity. 2. Customise or remove the WordPress boilerplate H3 sections like ‘Interesting links’ and ‘Categories’ in the footer. 3. Implement Organization and Product schema to link the brand and its specific SKUs to its 30-year industry footprint. 4. Structure the homepage with a clear H1 and hierarchy that categorizes the product list instead of using a flat list of H2 product names.

PocketWizard is a perfect fit for the Photography, Video & Creative Studios category. The site content is entirely dedicated to radio triggering hardware and firmware protocols essential for professional lighting and remote camera workflows.

“The score of 22 reflects a high-substance site with minor BS elements. Points were predominantly accrued from technical identity gaps in schema (Step 5) and the presence of unedited WordPress template artifacts (Step 4). The core information density is excellent, preventing a higher score.”
