Is there any alternative to triggering my ABs besides getting a second cybersync transmitter and somehow attaching it to my L-358 meter? I'm getting tired of taking it off my hot shoe whenever I reposition my lights and have to meter again.

I simply set up the L-358 to wait for a flash and then I push the "test" button on my transmitter. I'm using Elinchrom EL-Skyport Universal transmitters and receivers. Skip Douglas

Someone on a german forum made one for Elinchrom: https://photography-on-the.net …light=german#post13397527 Might be possible to make one compatible with the Cybersync… Possible, but I don't see Paul taking the time or having an interest in doing that.
