Paul C. Buff, Inc. Technical Forum

Just purchased two e640 and cyber commander. I have nikon gear. unit did not come with receiver or transreceiver. I am just wondering how is whole system being triggered and what else should i buy. I am going to be ok with tt5 flex or not? please help

Our triggering and/or power adjustment solution would be the CyberSync system. Specifically the CSXCV and the CST for basic triggering, or adding the Cyber Commander for remote power adjustment: http://www.paulcbuff.com/cybersync.php

A flex TT5 can act as a receiver, provided you are using the correct 1/8 to 1/8 male mono cord. However, you will only have triggering options and not power control with this set up.

thanks. another question is ..would PocketWizard Power MC2 be able to handle cyber commander data?

No. They are completely different frequencies and completely different proprietary encoding.

The MC2 can take power control information from a TT5 or TT1. PocketWizard will be your best resource for the ins and outs of that system.

thanks much. I think this is what i need to make this complete and fully functional?
