So I have a couple of CSTs and CSRBs and I love them. However, one thing I noticed with the Cybersyncs in general is that they seem to have a little slower response time than pocket wizards. For example if you hit the test button on PWs the strobe will cycle as much as the strobe can before it needs to recharge.

If I do the same thing with Cybersyncs I can press the button quickly but only get a flash fire in between button presses. So for example

1 - fire
2 - no fire
3 - fire
4 - no fire

but with PWs it's always a fire. I was just curious if that was just something that is with Cybersyncs or if something is potentially wrong with my Cybersyncs? It only bothers me a small amount when I'm doing fashion shoots and the model is doing well and I really want to get a few quick frames, but otherwise I still love my Cybersyncs and photographers I know with PWs are generally jealous because of their size and portability :D

Depending on when you received your CST, it may only have a 3fps fire rate (not recycle related) In early 2009, we started shipping 10fps versions.

Oh yeh I got them back in 2008 so they would be the 3fps. Okie dokie that's what I was wondering. :)
