Hello,
I have been using my Einstein's with CyberCommander for a few months now. Being able to control the strobes from the camera is a relief. Upon setting up the CC, everything has been easy to use. It is especially nice that you can adjust the overall intensity of the modelling lights to 100% and then have them scale down as you reduce flash power.
However, there are a few things that I don't understand or I would like changed:
-When using the light meter, all of my strobes flash when taking a reading even though only one channel is selected by the controller. Why is this? If I want to measure the light from only one strobe then I would expect only that strobe to flash. Of course they should all flash when the "all" is selected. Is this a bug with my unit?
-It would be *really* nice if there was a mode in which the intensity of the strobes could be moved in 1/2 stop increments per click of the joystick. Right now when I change apertures to adjust DOF, it is a pain to get the lighting right. Individual joystick click increments are too small. Holding the button down causes the intensity to move fast and I overshoot my target. What I want is when i change my camera from f/4 to f/2.8, I tap two clicks on the joystick and I'm good to go. Does this make sense? Would it be hard to add? Am I missing something? It would certainly speed my work up.
For a future controller I would really prefer for it to be larger and have more physical controls. For example 3-5 rotating knobs for adjust the strobes and then another knob for adjusting the overall intensity. I wouldn't mind having a large controller mounted on my camera. It would still be tiny compared to everything else involved :)
Cheers!
