Hey peeps,
I posted a review of the PCB, CST and CSR battery powered units on my blog. I also included an unboxing video and a Sekonic light meter hookup video. All of the photos of the units I did this evening.

Here is the second part of my review of the triggers. There will be a part 3 for obvious reasons once you read it.
Cheers,
Andrew

Cool. The Cybers are only rated to work up to 300ft by the way.

Thanks for all the testing. I like my Cybersyncs and have not tried to shoot any anywhere near the ranges you tested. Have you considered testing the repeater mode on the the receiver?

Love the review and thinking about getting some. My question is and you more than likely answered it already. I would be firing the canon 580exII and the 550ex. Do they come with all the cords I would need to start firing, or do I need to buy other items to start shooting? I would love to get them and start shooting rather than get them and then have to order more cables or hotshoes with cables.

Your 550EX does not have a PC connection so you will need a hot shoe for it. Great service from Flash Zebra here: http://www.flashzebra.com/hotshoes-shoes/0065.shtml
My Cybersyncs came with the cables necessary once I got the hotshoe adapter for my 550EX and 430EX.
