Ok, the search button above does not work my iPhone.
Can the Einstein do high speed sync via the pocket wizard mini tt1 (or 5) and the power MC2 with the canon 5D II. If so what kind of sync speeds are you getting?

It still gets you higher sync speeds by using the tail burn of the flash. The short duration of the Einstein and the 1/200 native sync speed of the 5DII work against this combo.

I cant get a clean one at 1/200 I have to drop to 1/160 Don't try to confuse me with the facts, my mind is already made up.

Its perfect at 160. I am not putting them in Speed mode though. It's because of the big slow FF curtain on the 5D. It's fairly common....Zach Arias mentioned it in his first creativelive workshop. Kacey's 5D also has this problem. Same problem happens w/ different triggers (Arias uses the original PW, not the TT, some people have the issue w/ Cybersyncs which are faster than the PW). If you found out when you bought the 5D, you should have exchanged it because not all are that slow...
