Description: This is a special remote shutter release cable called a pre-trigger cable. A pre-trigger cable allows you to control the shutter function of your remote with a half-press and a full-press. When a camera is "pre-triggered", it is as if the camera's shutter button is held in the half-press position or metering/focusing position.
This ACK cable allows a compatible PocketWizard radio to control the Half Press and Full Press functions independently.
A standard cable can be used with most PocketWizard radios, but does not have the half-press button capability and is only for basic remote triggering. (Using a CM-N3-ACC cable with an MSMM adapter will perform the same function as a CM-N3 cable.)
A -P cable will work with most PocketWizard radios. This pre-trigger cable has a switch that allows you to half-press or press at the remote position of the camera, but not from the transmitting radio. (Using a CM-N3-ACC cable with a PTMM adapter will perform the same function as a CM-N3-P cable.)
Compatible with the following radios:
PlusX: Use this cable with the PlusX to trigger the camera.
Plus III: Use this cable with the Plus III's exclusive 2-step shutter release to activate or focus your remote, just like the camera's shutter button.
Plus II or MultiMAX without -ACC connector: Use the MSMM adapter with this CM-N3-ACC cable or use the CM-N3.
MultiMAX with -ACC connector: Activate a remote zone with your MultiMAX handset and your remote MultiMAX will activate the remote camera with this cable. As long as the zone is on, the remote camera will stay awake and respond faster and more consistently, but will also consume the camera's batteries much faster. When the remote zone is deactivated, the camera will go into normal sleep mode. The MultiMAX does not support the 2-stage trigger functions.
FlexTT5: This cable is required for automatic relay mode with TTL or for other remote triggering with the FlexTT5. Learn more here. You can use a CM-N3-P cable or a CM-N3 standard cable with a FlexTT5, but your remote camera will not be able to pass a TTL signal to flash units. The FlexTT5 does not support the 2-stage trigger functions.
