Paul C. Buff, Inc. Technical Forum

As has been documented here I ended up going the Elinchrom / Skyport route, but you are 110% correct, after 2 minutes with the Skyports there's no way I'd go back to a non-remote-adjustable lighting system.

If I'd of brought the Einsteins, and my recommendation now, is that the C.C would be mandatory :)

In fact, I'd go as far as to say DON'T buy the Einsteins without the C.C's !!

AB.

I fully agree. I had used the Paul C Buff Radio Remote One system before CyberCommander. It was light gear that was light years ahead of anything in its time, and I came to the same conclusion that I'd never use anything without equally effective remote control ever again--and in fact, no other system at any price yet equals even the old Radio Remote One.

Big-time professionals (bigger than I am, anyway) who have a bunch of assistants don't need electronic remote control, but it makes my work possible. I'm often on location, and I'm able to run through multiple variations of fairly intricate lighting as a one-man-band only because of Paul C Buff remote control capability.



I would agree with this, too. Used manually, they're pretty good lights. With CC, all the Buff lights are just incredible.

Both actually.

The sky, certain areas, the pool, the spill in the pool all required different exposures that were blended into the final image.

Using the remote adjustable modeling lights in the Einstein/CyberCommander is a big help.

Even with extensive metering rooms and objects will sometimes surprise me with how much they reflect or absorb light. Being able to make fine tuning changes from the camera is a great time saver.

I saw that, well o- in a way...!
