| Post subject: | CC mini review and questions/issues |
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! |

double check the slave eye settings on the Einstein. If they are on, they will still fire. You will need to turn them off via the Cyber Commander, as settings made to the head would be reverted by the Commander. |

Thanks, this helped with the metering problem. |
