Cybersyncs Distance Test

Distance test for the Paul C Buff Cybersync transmitter/receiver. http://www.alienbees.com/remotes.html
This is my first video, so excuse the quality and the mix up when stating "receiver" instead of "transmitter"
Tested it on a Canon 430EX Flash with pc/hotshoe connector. Successful test up to 200 feet.

What was that bag hanging on the stand? I assumed a battery pack, but if so what kind of battery back do you have for the 430ex? I have that same setup. I find myself having to use a lot of juice to get useable light through a modifier.

The bag hanging on the stand was the bag for the Canon Elph , that I was shooting the video with. Not an external battery pack, not aware of a battery pack for the 430ex.

Thanks for sharing! now try the distance test using the transmitter on the camera hot shoe at top sync speed. Maybe 1/200 or 1/250. I'd bet distance will be shorter or maybe flash goes out of sync. But how shorter?

Thanks for sharing this! I was getting ready to buy another set of PW's but came across these. From what I gather they are VERY comparable to the PW's. I'd like to see reliability tests along with distance tests. Maybe 3-5 test shots at each distance marker. Thanks for sharing though...great info!
