tried my Einstein (first use) outside crooked up to a vagabond 2, and after 20-30 shots, the light started continuously firing.

killed the lights power , turned it back on and started strobing again.

brought it in and from both wall power and vagabond 2 seemed to work fine,

flash was being fired from a cyberscync.

maybe catching a stray signal? I didn't think to change the frequency out side, but inside worked fine off the original freq (#1)

anyone seen this before?

Thanks for any ideas.

Einstein slave tripper is somewhat prone to doing this in sunlight, especially when operated from Vagabond. We are tweaking this circuitry. If you turn off the slaves when outdoors with CyberSync the issue will be resolved.

thanks for the info, it had default settings, will make the adjustment.

These were the first photos I've ever shot with a light outside, so so much to learn.

Thanks for supporting the AZ people, this position needs to be done by a lot more businesses.

have a good memorial day.

USAF MSgt, (ret)

I do work for deathfromafar.com, run by retired marine LtCol, supplying precision rifles to the MC and others, always nice to keep dealing with the military types.

Thanks for your service.

I'm not really a military type, but proudly served. I joined as the Korean War was coming to and end so never saw combat . . . but I was ready willing and able. Got my electronics education in USMC/Navy schools - a very intense and rewarding year.

Nice to talk to and hear from people who served proudly,
I am an alien, but I did serve four years in the US army, I met a lot of really great people
from all over United States. The only thing I hate is how your media often portray the military especially when there is a small incident.
