What are you using to trigger the CL/AD lights? I notice in your signature that you have a 5DIII and a 6D. Those cameras require a Cells II c which is the version with the latest firmware to support those cameras.

They can loose a third of a stop of light over the Cells II. In fact from an ideal timing to a poor one (but still achieving a clean frame) can be as much as 2/3rds to a full stop difference.

Yes, the upgrade that Edward asked for that he has called the Cells II-c. To my knowledge there is no field upgradability for these devices. David | Sharing my Insights, Knowledge & Experience

I still don't think that explains how your only matching a 580EXII though. . Yeah, I need to check it out some more. I had expected over-exposure at 6-10 feet away with the higher settings when in fact it looked pretty close to what I was seeing with the 580EXII. Thanks for the feedback guys! 5D Mark III, 6D, EOS-M 22mm f/2 | 24-70mm f/2.8L II | 50mm f1.4 | 100L | 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II | Rokinon 8mm Fisheye

It looks like Cheetah Stand sells the battery hook that's similar in design to what Quantum makes. Is this what you guys use or are there any other alternatives? 5D Mark III, 6D, EOS-M 22mm f/2 | 24-70mm f/2.8L II | 50mm f1.4 | 100L | 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II | Rokinon 8mm Fisheye

Falcon Eyes CL-35 or two for the price of one CLD-35. I can even hold the battery up-side-down and it won't come off.

The Falcon Eyes CLD-35 is a double C-clamp. The clamps can be separated at which point you will have two PERFECT battery holders. This is the CLD-35:  I use the Adorama-branded version of the CL-35F (http://www.adorama.com/RGCZCL35F.html ) with the 5/8" receptor removed:    If you don't need the 5/8" receptor (and have multiple batteries), the CLD-35 is potentially the better alternative than the CL-35F but note that Adorama ships their CL-35F free but charges shipping for the CLD-35: http://www.adorama.com/RGCZCLD35.html
