I have several profoto lights and I use the profoto air system to control and sync with them, and I was wondering if it is possible to connect the cybercomander system up with a couple of Einsteins to control the power levels, and still use profoto air to sync with them so I can use them in an integrated setup with my other lights. I really love the look of the ultra short flash durations and the inexpensive price tag, but I need to be able to use them as part of a larger system.

I'm doing something similar w/ my radiopoppers.
The CC controls Einstein power, but I have RP JrX receivers plugged into the Einstein's 3.5mm port to trigger them w/ the RP TX on the camera. I also have RP JrX receivers on speedlights and WLs as needed.
If you're in-studio, you can just run optical slaves and just plug in one receiver on any strobe...

Yes, it is possible to run two different systems in paralell (one camera triggers two transmitters, which trigger thier respective lights) or in series (one camera triggers one transmitter, which then triggers lights and another transmitter, which then triggers lights).

It is also possible to trigger Einstein by one (virtually any) brand of triggers, but maintain control via the Cyber Commander.

thanks!
