I am going to get some cybersyncs for my AB's, but also to use with speedlights. I couldn't get an understandable answer from AB, but maybe it's just me :)

What cables do the battery powered receivers come with? Or more specifically, What cable might I need for the speedlights?
I have Sigma 500 supers, with no sync connections, So I have a hot shoe adapter with pc connections.

I currently use cactus triggers

Thanks

My Cybersync receivers came with a cable that goes from the receiver to a PC connection. I ordered a couple of these to attach my 430EX and 550EX - http://flashzebra.com/​hotshoes-shoes/0065.shtml (external link) They work just fine, connections are tight, and I just leave the cable connected to the hotshoe.

I could be wrong, but those sound more like these:

Also, BH is closed and will not be shipping until the 23rd.
So use BH only if you can wait...

from what Titus213 said, the his Receiver came with a PC connection & cable... i don't think i'll need that unless someone states differently.

Titus, can you post a picture of your CyberCync Reciever connected to the Hotshoe please?

The unit in the circle is from Flash Zebra - item #65.

The cables, plugs, and receiver came together in one box from Alien Bee

Note: Sorry - not paying attention to my backgrounds again.:lol:

That is not the unit you need. That has a PC connection on it. You need a mini plug to get to the receiver.
