Post subject:  psync to mini jack cable?

where can i find the Psynch to mini jack cable that came with my Einsteins? preferably a higher end cable? i have 3 Einsteins and all 3 cables are now not working at all. during receptions i have an on camera flash and have the cyber sync hooked up to the psync terminal on my A900. its the only way i can think of to allow me to fire an on camera flash with TTL while also triggering the Einsteins without the need for the built in optical slave (since this just goes crazy during a weeding anyway). Any help would be appreciated!

We carry our cords here: http://www.paulcbuff.com/absc.php You may be interested in screw lock type cords, which are carried by flashzebra and places like B&H.

However, you can also connect a CyberSync transmitter to the camera via its included cord, and remain un-tethered to the lights.

yes thats what im doing. im needing the short PC synch cable to 3.5 jack. i think its only like 6 inches long? i just need to go from PC port to the cyber sync transmitter.

and the screw in type sounds like it might be what I'm looking for. do all PC ports have the threads for this? do you know where i can find a short cable? hoping to get one thats just long enough to go from the port to the transmitter that i have attached to the camera via Velcro.

Ah. The cord that goes to the CST is PC to 2.5mm. The one that goes to the Einstein is 3.5mm.

Here is the only one I know of specifically. http://flashzebra.com/products/0148/index.shtml, though I am sure other options exist.

Not all PC ports are threaded, however, most camera PC ports are (including my Sony's). Even if they are not threaded, the PC connection can still work, they are just not locked.
