Post subject:  Cybersync and external flash units
I Just purchased the cybersync cst & (2) csrb's. I also had to purchase the adapters for my flashes. I have two Sigma 530 dg st flashes. For some reason I can't get my flash to fire. They are on the same channel, the lights are blinking on the csrb's (green light), when I hit test on the cst it blinks (red). I looked through the direction book and can't seem to figure out why it isn't working.

The cst is on the hot shoe of my canon 60d. My flashes have the adapter on and are connected to the csrbs by one of the cords they came with.

Can anyone help?? Thanks :D

Are you sure you have the 530's set properly for off-camera radio trigger use? I have a 530 DG Super and find that it isn't as intuitive as I would like. This might be worth a read if you haven't done so already: http://flashzebra.com/tips/supersigmama ... ndex.shtml

Good luck! :)

I know very little about the sigmas. What I do know is to
1-follow the link supplied above.
2- something about their slave eyes negates a trigger signal via the foot. Sometimes you can get them to fire by themselves, but if another flash introduced, the same unit may not fire. The solution is to cover the slave eye.
3-most flashes will fire in the old shool manner, via the side rail and center contact points. Some 3rd party flashes with multiple pins will not fire in that same manner. Some, but not all, Sigmas fall into this catagory.
