Okay so I just purchased 4 of the cybersyncs. But I have nothing to hold it up when I connect it to the strobe. Can you give me ideas on what I can buy to do that? I don't want this thing dangling by the synch cord.

Thanks

I use velcro and cellphone wrist lanyard (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170285944744&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT) (purchased on ebay)

I use velcro strips on the side of the flash and receiver. Some might not like the cosmetics of this method. For myself I don't mind.

When I still owned CyberSyncs, I used to use wrist straps to hang mine on a knob on the lightstand but every time I moved it, it would slap itself on the lightstand. I wasn't comfortable with that so I switched to Velcro. I bought some from a school supply store (Staples, etc.) that came in as a 2' long strip for $4. I put the fuzzy side along the battery cover to cover up the PCB text and the prickly side on my flash units (of the same length). It looked very neat.

I bought a card with about 20 of those elastic thingies that girls use to make pony tails. They are black, and fit through the eyelit. Velcro is also good but I found there is a tendency for the unit to fall off when moving the light.

I picked up some cell phone pouches to put the recievers in. It holds them from dangling by the sync cord but they still bang around when I move them...probably end up switching to velcro or something more 'stable'
