Hi,
I'm on a Canon system. How could i fire the the Einstein 640s together with my speedlights?
(Am using Nissin 866 and yongnuo 460ii with rf-602 triggers)
Appreciate any help.

Cheers

I'm also shooting Canon with the RF-602 trigger combined with Einsteins. Building on what you already own, you can trigger the Canon flash with the RF-602 and use the E640's set to slave. This works fine indoors but I haven't tried it out in bright sunshine yet. Another option is to trigger both the Canon and the E640 with the RF-602. The E640 has a sync jack that accepts the 1/8" sync plug that comes with the RF-602 receivers.

If you want to migrate to PCB triggers then you could put a CST on the camera, CSXCV on the E640, and CSRB on the Canon strobe to trigger all at once. I don't use CSRB's so I'll have to let someone else comment further.

There are other options for pocket wizard, radio popper, etc. but I don't have any first hand experience with them. Hope this helps.

Power Engineer pretty much summed it up. I can only add, if you go with the Cyber Commander, you will want a CSRB+ for your speedlite. Even though you cannot change power output of your speedlite, you can still group it and meter it seperately from the E640.
