I'm just curious if it can be done on the Einstein strobe. I have a bunch of PW flexTT5 already and want to know if it's possible without having to purchase the MC2. TIA!!

You can plug a flex 5 into the mini-jack on the Einstein. The MC2 is required if you want remote power control via the AC3

Also, remember that the Einstein will do HyperSync only at full power. Once you decrease the power every a little the IGBT control circuit cuts off the tail and you get a curtain shadow.

David so with just the FlexTT5 plug into the mini-jack I can do it right? At full power of course.

That's my recollection.
I did beta testing on the MC2 so It's been a long time since I fired an Einstein with a flex.
