CyberSync's Are Here
The UPS woman brought our new light control system form Paul C. Buff company. They are the CyberSync system of transmitters and receivers. http://www.paulcbuff.com/cybersync.php
They attach to the hotshoe of our camera and then on the actual flash or strobe, when we press the shutter button on our camera the transmitter sends out a signal to the receivers and the flash/strobe goes off. This way we do not have to be directly connected to the “off camera” flash. That is really nice!! The range seems to be very good. I have not (yet) done a scientific test but I had Dawn go in the far basement corner with one of the receivers connected to our Canon 580EX II and I went up to the garage and pressed the test button on the transmitter and it fired the flash every time!
Below is the un-boxing of the units.
