Different region pocket wizards?

dazftw

Just a quick question before I head off to work.. Bought a pocket wizard kit about 2 weeks ago.. Working perfectly. Bought 1 more to go with the 2nd flash I have. This won't work at all.. The pocket wizards look different also so im guessing they could be from different regions and wont work together?

Heres a picture to show you: The one that doesn't work is the one in red.. Any ideas? Im trying to get it returned to the seller on ebay atm.



Thanks

The one highlighted is the correct model for use in europe. They use a different radio spectrum than the US version to comply with EC regulations.

The US version uses licensed radio spectrum.

There is most likely nothing wrong with the EC model - it's just not compatible with the kit you purchased to begin with.

Can I return the one I just bought and bought a single US one? I guessing thats my best option unless I can still return the kit I bought at 1st.. ill have to check it on ebay..

Really should have checked this before buying. Oh well.. :mad:

Yeah, just sorted this out now. FCC is US & CE is European

Oh well my own fault now to get a FCC version
