The body of my personal electromagnetic fields oscillator broke recently on shooting location. The camera was too close to a wall and the Pocket Wizard attached on it hurt the wall and the socket attachment was in two parts after this encounter.
This PW was an emiter, not a transceiver. So no way to trigger my flashes with it anymore. Every Pocket Wizard I & II body share the same plastic parts. So in less than 15 mins. I unscrewed that broken body and made a rapid exchange between the emiter and receiver socket that do not need any socket to be connected or to be properly utilised as a reciever exept be attached somewhere.
Later, back to home, I glued the little parts together to recover a PW reciever in order to be « brend new ». I could make a list of pros & cons about these little electronic items but the fact is the broken parts seems to be easy to fix ones. It’s a good lesson for everybody to learn that Pocket Wizards are fragile.
