My friend and I were planning a shoot in which we needed to see which trigger was more reliable and guess what!

The cybercync somehow destroyed the Pocketwizard Multimax's. It was very confusing.

Our test was solely range. We had just received the multimax's so perhaps we have to configure them a special way???, but we were getting consistent fires from both at 400 odd feet. After that the multimaxes just performed horribly. 50% max while the cybercyncs were 95-100% at around 500-600 feet. It was pretty surprising actually.

Forgot to mention it was outdoors only as that is our shoot.

Thanks for the report. I am planning to use the Cybersync's to trigger a remote camera at either high school softball or baseball games. In the past I have used the Skyports to remotely fire a second camera from about 150-75 feet. From past third base to way beyond first base.

Indoors, the Cybersyncs have worked great for me in high school gyms and arenas. Looking forward to the outside stuff.

I've had the CyberSyncs since about a week after they became available. Rock-solid performers. Period. Not sure I've ever had a misfire.

+1 Love the CST/CSRB's. Never let me down, and their customer service is world class.
