Sekonic has the ability to host a poketwizard trigger. Any word on building a CyberSync module for them?

Or anyone else have a nice way to remotely trigger while using the seconic meter?

No integrated option is available for Sekonic meters, and such a device is unlikely at this time. You can either connect the cord that is included with the CST to connect with the meter. Alternatively, you can set the meter to cordless, press the arm button, and fire the flashes with the CST in the other hand.

The second option worked fine for me as I was testing my CC and Sekonic. They were spot-on, no calibration needed.

so ...Lets play the what if... what options do we have here...

Have 1 radio transmitter at 1, and one on 3. Have one reciever on 2, and allow three to slave off.

That comes to:
CST CyberSync™ Trigger Transmitter X2 @ $60
CSR+ CyberSync™ Receiver Plus - AC Powered x1 @90

gives us a total of $210.

OR


we switch it up...
2 Transmitters @$60
and get 2 CSXCV CyberSync™ Transceiver @$30

That gives us a total of $120.


or third option:
1 Cyber Commander™ @ $150
1 transmitter @$60
2 Transceivers @ $30

Thats a total of @$270


Would the last option let me get rid of my Sekonic since the Cyber Commander has a built in metering?

Choices overload :)

haha. Nice!

I use your 3rd option. Have both CST on camera and CC in hand.

Hi,

I also use the third option but with 2 CSRB+.
It is a bit more expensive but I can use them outdoor with speedlights or with AB strobes.

Regards.

Yes.

The CC has retired my Sekonic L-358. I still keep my L-558 for non-flash spotmetering. But I plan to put my L-358 on eBay and buy another CC.

Well, your options span more than one line of lights. If you have Einsteins, then option 1 is not the best option, as it is more expensive and would limit CyberCommander. If you have Bees or White Lightnings, then the CSXCV's would not work at all. Again, if using AB or WL, then option 1 would not benefit from the + model reciever, unless you plan on Cyber Commander in the future.

PM me if yoiu plan on selling anytime soon. Actually looking to get another meter. I'm scared of getting ebay ones... Never know how well they work. (not sure if we have any swap area on the Forum)

we do not have a dedicated swap area, nor a PM function. I am not going prohibit exchanging of information for the purposes of selling, unless this board turns into a giant swap meet.
