No - you have to upgrade to the Pocket Wizards - they do everything.

:(

I haven't found out how to activate that feature on mine.


My village called. I was told that they missed me.

Speedotron users, untie!

Well, from what I read here it has got to be available. And at obscene ranges too.;)

You need a $500 accessory cord and a $200 module to enable that feature. ;)

Will the cybersyncs do my dishes too? I get tired of doing those...

You've heard of voice-activated light stands? In my house the dish washing is voice activated.

Are you talking about securing the cybersyncs to your lightstand? I just used zip-ties and a couple of clips. I'm surprised there was nothing to secure the cybersyncs off the shelf. If I would have had velcro handy, I would have used it instead.

I highly recommend keeping a can of zip ties around the house. They have come in handy time and time again.

I don't have a link for you but I found it by going to the strobist.com group on flickr and searched for cybersync.

Do you have to cut the zip-ties off each time you change/recharge the batteries?

These little organza(?) bags with a drawstring top are less than $2.00 each at Michael's. I drop the receiver in the bag and hang the bag on my lightstand...simple, cheap, re-usable.

I will cut them when I have to change the batteries. I was under the impression that the batteries would last quite awhile though.
