But the big reason I wanted the PocketWizards is their new Hypersync. It allows you to use studio strobes at a higher shutter speed than you could before.

I tested both a 40D and a 5Dm2 using a MiniTT1 on the camera with the latest firmware. I tried alot of different numbers for the Hypersync offset, but for the test I set it to the minimum of -2500 so I could try to get the most of the shutter out of the image. I used a White Lighting X1600 as the light in the test being fired with a PocketWizard 2Plus.

Here are the results so you can see.

Notice how there is less shutter in the 5Dm2 but the shading at the top of the image is more. After the tests I think you can get to 1/500 with the 5Dm2 and 1/800 (with a touch of shutter) with the 40D.

I am going to go back with the 5Dm2 and change the number to try to get less shading at 500, but thats some trial and error.

Also I tested changing the power on the light to see if it would effect it much (because the flash duration changes with power). But after testing it I don’t think it changes it enough to matter.

I have not see anyone talking about what settings so, if you have any settings that work for you please post them.
