|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Triggering cameras with cybersyncs Radu Rosca, Photographer Tirgu Mures | MS | Romania | Posted: 11:46 AM on 01.28.11 ->> I've read it's possible, i have a 40d that i would like to use it as a remote camera and have the cst and the csrb and csrb+ receivers. Has anyone did it or knows how to get it work?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Anyway, I haven't tried it, but this seems to be successful for a few people: http://www.paulcbuff.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6016&postdays=0&postorder=a...

People say the same transmitter can't be used for both the remote camera and the strobes, as the triggered body won't capture the flash lights, so my question is this: Assuming i use 2 bodies (A and B), 2 strobes and 2 transmitters for each camera. The first transmitter will be on Camera A, and will trigger camera B. The second one will be on camera B and will trigger the strobes. Will the first camera (A) capture the strobes or just the second one (B)?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Though radio signals are extremely fast, there will be a delay in the time from triggering the camera to triggering the flash that can be a hit or miss deal for Camera A missing the sweet spot for the flash duration when triggered by the transmitter on Camera B.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

A lot cheaper than PW, not sure about reliability though. I haven't had any issues, but I haven't used it on the same scale as some people use PWs.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Fatal flaw IMO.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
