wondering if i should continue with cybersyncs or switch to stratos
presently i have 1 cst and one receiver so ideally would like to add another cst and two more triggers- i am using them with speedlights
in the future i would like to add a monolight and i know if i stick with cybersyncs that would not be a problem
what i want to know however is if stratos triggers are able to fire studio strobes or just speedlights .if they can this would make them more attractive especially since i can order these thru amazon where as i cannot order the paulc buff stuff from jamaica and would have to go thru the hassle of finding someone with a united states based credit card

Buy me a round-trip ticket to Jamaica and get me a place to stay for a week, and I'll personally deliver the Cybersyncs to you!

Seriously it makes more sense to use what you can readily replace if necessary.
I've never seen the Phottix Stratos but this review of the Phottix Strato II Multi (external link) indicates the receiver has a sync port. All you need is the right cord to connect it to your monolight and you're set.

Yep the Strato II should be fine with most monolights, receivers are 300volt safe trigger voltage and they come with all the cords you need.
