I am a working Professional Photographer and I own a Portrait Company in Indiana and I just purchased the CC and an Einstein, and I have to say I think that I am going to Love them. I have very powerful monolights before the Einstein but these are AWESOME. I am just going to have to buy some more.

But, I could not find a way to change the Flashmeter ISO or Shutter speed to anything but whole stops. Is there a way to change this?

Not currently. You can use the CAL adjustment for ISO increments, but not shutter speed. In studio shutterspeed is not very relevent in exposure calculations, but outdoors you may need to do some calculations. We are looking into this, but I cannot make any promises or timelines right now.

It would be really nice to be able to adjust the strobe power in 1/2 stop increments as well. When I change my aperture to modify DOF, it is a pain to adjust the power level to match.

On the Cyber Commander: click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click

On most flash systems it's walk around from light to light and dial each one down one at a time, re meter and amble back to the camera and shoot.

As I said before, if I designed a personal moon rocket and sold it for $1.98, people would bitch they wanted more comfortable seats!

Honestly, do people have any idea what Einstein and Cyber Commander do for the price . . . from any of the Euro companies, CC would sell for $2000 if they had anything like it. Same with Einstein.

Maybe I need to get newer firmware, but it takes ten clicks per stop of output with my CC.

You asked about 1/2f adjustment . . . that's five clicks . . . about one second to bracket one light or your entire light setup.
