Thanks, I have set of RF-602's but I dont believe those will work with the bees.

RF-602`s won`t work with the bees? If true, that really sucks cause I just ordered a set! I was sure I read they work?!

Why wouldnt they work? All the bees need is a simple fire signal.

I am getting ready to dive into the world of Alienbees. I have a question, what are the pros and cons of getting the battery powered Cybersync triggers vs. the AC powered. Obviously not needing to change batteries would be great, so why would someone buy the battery powered ones? Thanks.

I think some people use the cybersyncs with battery powered flashes and would not have access to AC.

If you're using them solely with the AB's you probably don't need the battery powered ones, but many people use them to trigger speedlights as well, I use them for both.

I bought a CSRB (battery powered) for my 580ex ii and I buy the CSR (plug in) receivers for my Alien Bee Strobes. The only reason I bought a CSRB is if I am out with ONLY my 580ex ii I can still use the receiver and not have to worry about plugging anything in. The CSR's are my choice for the Alien Bee strobes because you have to plug them in anyways so its no big deal. Hope that helps.
