Hi all,
I have a problem with my vagabon mini.
Indeed, when i plug 2 flashs units (B400+B800) on the vagabon, the flashs units fires together.

Be sure that you have a trigger for each, plugged in. On the AB's, if nothing is plugged into the trigger jack, the slave sensor is enabled and the unit will fire anytime it detects a flash from the other. So one fires, triggers the other, and this would happen if you had them on any power source.

So, you would have to have triggers for each, and set to different frequencies, to be sure that there is some problem caused by the vagabond.

Does this mean when you intentionally trigger one light, the other fires as well? If so, then BDP's advice is good. OR do you mean they start to trigger on thier own, with no intervention on your part? If so, are you using any remotes or a sync cord? What kind of environment are you in?

the both fires when i push test button of flash unit (with cybersync too). i have a trigger plugged for each but it the same problem.

gears :
1x B400
1x B800
1x Vagabond Mini™ Lithium (230 VAC model)
1x CyberSync™ Trigger Transmitter
2x CyberSync™ Receiver Plus - CSRB+

Are you disabling the optical slave eye? You need to or either flash will trigger the other one. Plug a sync cable into the sync port of each Bee, but don't plug the other end of the cables into anything. That disables the eye.

thank you itwimberly ! it was the solution. i disabled optical slave eye with a cable into sync port.
