Post subject:  Radio Trigger to go with my new Einstein.
Need some help here. Recently took delivery of PCB's Einstein. Love it. I shoot with the Nikon D90, a SB 600 off camera thru nikon's cls. Have been triggering the Einstein optically but not too consistent.
I want to radio/trigger.
If I say, go with the cyber commander and cst on the einstein, how do I trigger the sb600 ?
OR will the sb600 trigger optically?
I thought the Phottix Strato would work for me(not technically comparable to the ccc), simpler unit but they have TTL pass thru on their triggers.
Thank You

Henry

I believe only the sb800 and sb900 have the SU mode to trigger optically. In their respective menu's the SU-4 mode gets set to ON and it will trigger from the optical slave.

The SB600 does not have an optical slave feature, but MAYBE you could purchase a compatible optical slave adapter here

A CSRB+ and SLFA would be advisable. No, you cannot adjust power from the CC to the SB, but you can still trigger, group, and meter.

But use the CSXCV on Einstein, not the CSRB+ (except on the speedlight.)
