i have to b800s and the Cyber Commander for about a year now, but i dont use the light-meter or changing power functions from the transmitter b/c i dont know how, i read the manual a few times but its still quite confusing to me, r there any good in depth tutorials anywhere or videos that can show me how to use my Cyber Commander to its full potential?

Do you have a CSR+ or CSRB+ connected to your B800? Had to ask first in case you were trying to control power w/ stuff you can't control power with :)

The CC should be fairly easy to use...I fiddled with it w/o reading the manual and didn't have a problem controlling power or the modeling lamp power, so what are you exactly being stuck on?
And where are you located? Someone nearby might be able to walk you through some of it to make it easier...

We do not have an official videos on Cyber Commander. However, there are several on the web at places like YouTube. If you prefer to give us a call, we can walk you through the set up and operation.

Just to be clear, you mean the CSRB+ receivers, right?
The CSRB will only trigger, not control power...

Conceptually, you do this since you're using B800's:
- tell the CC what is on each channel (put a sticky on each of them and a CSB+ labelled "1", "2", etc. for the channel#)...you do this by selecting the channel w/ the left joystick and then switching to the configure menu w/ the right joystick
- once that's all set, you should only need to use the left joystick in normal operation. Flip through channels w/ it, and adjust each channel's power w/ it.

Keep those two things in mind and it becomes pretty simple. The key to keeping it simple is to label your B800 and associated CSRB+. With Einsteins, you only need to label your Einstein since you configure the channel on the Einstein itself and it magically identifies itself to the CC when you do a refresh.

Seems that I am in the same boat. The more I read the instructions the more confused I seem to get. Wondering if anyone is close to Santa Fe, Texas to give me a hand on getting a handle on programming the cc and lights.
