Thanks for the thorough post – I am wondering in cases where i may be closer than 10 feet do you any problems with the receiver tripping because it's too close? I know with a few of my Cactus v2's I have that problem and some I don't. I'm looking to switch to these especially since i sometimes use a ring light mounted on a tripod and move around it depending on the shoot.

Yes, 300 feet away is a bit much. But, hey, at least you know it can be done if needed!Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed my review.

Sure. Rather than have your flash on your camera, for example, I may want the flash to come from a 45 degree angle. to accomplish this I have my flash on a stand. There are two ways to make that flash fire when I push the trigger. One is by connecting it with a cable. The other way is by using a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is attached to your camera and when you click the shutter it triggers the receiver and the flash goes pop!Hope that helps!

Wireless flash triggers? Can you please explain to me the meaning of this? Thanks!

hahah awesome review! and that's good cuz today I bought on the alien bees website the busy bee package and I was considering to buy the cybersync. 300 ft's away, it's probable a useless range but it proves that the cybersync it's pretty reliable. great review a thanks for the info!
