PocketWizard have published some new information on their TTL triggers. No tangible updates on the Nikon Mini/Flex, but the AC3 ZoneController is estimated to be released in “late May” for US$69.95. The AC5 soft ($15) and AC7 hard ($30) shields will be available in April and May respectively.

Ed Pingol has posted an early review of the RadioPopper RPCubes for Nikon (the original ones by Radiopopper, still not released).

IShoot have revealed details of a new flash trigger currently under development.

[Previous IShoot PT-04 triggers] working range is about 30 meters. While the PT-04 D we are researching and developing can up to 500 meters. It may can be released in 3 months.

An upcoming case by Lightware, the Lightwalker II, has been revealed by Dave Black in his Workshop on the Ranch here.
