I own 1 Einstein with 2 more arriving tomorrow. I was just setting up the Cybersynch System tonight and ran into some problems. I have a Nikon D3, and with the Cybersynch Commander in the hotshoe, I cant seem to trigger the flash of the Einstein. The setup went fine, and when I push the right joystick, the test flash fires. But other than that, I can't get the flash to fire. Can you think of something obvious Im missing here?
First, have you been able to trigger from the hotshoe before? Do you have an alternative camera (even a film one) to test on (some cameras can disable the hotshoe*)? Will the CC fire if you plug in the PC cord to the PC socket of the camera?
I am not suggesting these as permanent solutions, just trouble shooting.
*Nikons do have the option (not sure if it is default or not) to assign a button next to the lens (grip side) to enable and disable the flash. If this got toggled, then press it again to toggle back.
