Great video, Thanks Mark. One clarification; when you reduce power on the Einstein the Ready light turns red while it's dumping excess power. Are you triggering the flash out of habit or is Einstein hanging on to the charge?
The Plus line is pricey for a trigger put for TTL control across remote flashes, FlexTTL5s and MiniTTLs are a pretty great deal. But, like the other poster said, if you don't need TTL then just go with the PLUS or even a cheap brand of radio trigger or maybe even some cables!
Yes, they are expensive... but, no I do not think you are fully aware of all that they can do or how to use them. If you did, you would see that it is WAY more than just a trigger. These are the most advanced units made anywhere, of course they will cost more than a standard trigger. If that is what you need, look at the Plus II line. :)

marc,
extremely well presented presentation. The details are exceedlingly helpful and you've made it look easier than it is. (Thats a good thing).
Side question, not sure how one would control 2 "A Heads" from one Ranger RX Speed AS battery pack using an AC3, though. Maybe a video for that?
If using standard Channel receiving only for Studio Strobes, am i still able to use power tracking?
