m3rdpwr Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 <p>My CS's came with the cables I needed to use with my Elinchrom 400BX's.</p> <p>They work fine...</p> <p>-Mario</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_bolton2 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 <p>Yes.<br> If lights have optical slave triggering, no. Otherwise, yes.<br> You'll get the cables you need with the CyberSyncs.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_prouty Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 <p>I believe that most all monolights will disable the optical slave when a sync cable is plugged in. So a Cybersync, when attached by a sync cable, disables the built in optical sensor. A quick read of the light's manual will be the determining information. I think John is pretty much wrong in saying "If lights have optical slave triggering, no."</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_prouty Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 <p>Sorry John, I tried to add to my reply but ran out of time to edit.</p> <p>If John meant to say that a radio slave is not needed when a built in optical sensor is present, his post is correct. But a radio slave is the preferred way to ensure "privacy' of your lighting. In a wedding situation, optical sensors let everybody with a flash use your lighting. Radio slaves prevent that.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3rdpwr Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 <p>My Elinchrom 400BX's still allow manual turn on of optical slaves when my CS's are plugged in.</p> <p>Whether they will trigger that way is another.</p> <p>Easy for me to test later on...</p> <p>-Mario</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
