I would say another CST set to a different freq. Also your CSRB for the camera needs to be on the same freq.

Mike,
you could use the CC in hand to trigger the camera, but change the frequency from the lights' frequency to the cameras frequency, once all changes to the light are made. (camera and lights cannot be on the same frequency). Additionally, i would reccomend a CSRB over a CSRB+ with Nikon cameras (if you have a + receiver and want to test, thats fine, but i would not reccomend a new + receiver purchase for that purpose).

The best way to do this is with a hand held CST to fire the camera via a CSRB on one frequency, and a CST or Cyber Commander on the camera hot shoe set to a different frequency to fire the lights. You have to use two separate frequencies . . . if the camera and lights fire from the same signal the lights will fore before the camera's mechanical shutter responds.

Cool, thanks....maybe a nice future requirement/enhancement request for to add a camera trigger button on on the CyberCommander (A CC+ LOL) and a second port on the CSRB+ that could attach via a short cable to the camera port - can even be set to a different frequency to match the trigger frequency (also independently configurable if keeping them on sep freq is necessary)?

Net-net would be you can fire the camera and lights remotely with a single hand-held CC and a single CSRB+ on the camera.
