They Work Fine Now - Kinks Worked Out
Adding: If you want a recommendation on whether to get the Flex and Mini or just 2 flexes, I'd suggest 2 flexes. First, because the flexes use regular batteries. And second because that gives you more options as you add lights and equipment to your set up (since the Mini can only be used on camera and not as a trigger for the flash). I do like owning the mini because it is so tiny and I hardly even notice it is on my camera. But both the Flex and Mini are very low profile and don't have the 'get knocked off' issues that the Plus IIs had.------A lot of the early reviews are before updates to download for this product had been made available (or used!). It works fine now. I have a very noisy 580EXII and both the Flex and Mini work fine with it. For me, dependability was about making sure the antenna was never pointed down. If you have any problem with the unit, typically it is because the antenna aren't parallel or are pointed at the ground. Just move...

MUCH improved (was: Not ready for Prime Time)
UPDATE: I have had the opportunity to test both the Flex TT5 and Mini TT1 remotes again, with the latest firmware updates and using the Canon 430EX II flash. The results using the 430EX II flash are SIGNIFICANTLY better than using my original 430EX flash. In fact, I would say that shooting indoors using the 430EX II yielded a 99% success rate. And, when using my 430EX flash I did achieve MUCH better results after the latest firmware updates-- probably a 95%+ success rate. Outdoors the success rate dropped a bit for both flashes-- I am hopeful that the forthcoming AC-7 product will get these units back to peak performance. Long story short, I am now 95% convinced that these PWs are capable of performing quite well, 100% if you have the less-noisy Canon strobes. I don't seem to be able to update my star rating, but if I could I would bump it to 4 stars.One other note... Recently, I have had the opportunity to work with the folks in customer service at PocketWizard, and...
