yeah you can't beat AB's customer service, I use pocket wizards personally but thats just because I had a bad expirence with the elinchrom skyports which were supposed to be awsome so when I switched I figured might as well splurge on 4…

So CS has more or less than 4 channels?
Ryan Armbrust replied to Amber Sigman's discussion 'Alien Bee's vs. Pocket Wizards'
If you are shooting in a busy area, downtown etc...
I have had channels that would be acting up. It is nice to have a few to choose from.
Michael Tigue replied to Amber Sigman's discussion 'Alien Bee's vs. Pocket Wizards'
Yes, but I don't need more than four channels. Some of you guys with fish eye lenses might.

That sounds great Nina! I'd love to. Let me know when you want to do that, after next week though due to travels and such. Thanks. ;)

Amber, while you have my alien bees feel free to come back and check out my PW...maybe we can work out a deal where you take our family portrait???

I borrowing a friend's Alien Bee for the next few days, It's super easy to work with. Would like to try out PW's sometime tho, simply due to the wireless factor. Thanks for all the advice! Seriously guys. ;)

Not really in regards to the two products named above, but beware of buying extremely cheap transmitters. All of them generate magnetic interference, but the quality ones rarely (if ever) affect your image sensor to a noticeable degree. However, the…

4 channels though...
I use the Cyber Syncs and love them. Find me anyone with better customer service than Alien bee / Paul C. Buff and I will hand over a pair of D700's!

They are probably the most recommended trigger on Flickr.com's strobist group.
One because they always work and two because they are cheap.

No kidding? I didn't realize they were that inexpensive.
John Adkins replied to Amber Sigman's discussion 'Alien Bee's vs. Pocket Wizards'
Well, I can honestly say I would never argue with anyone over the quality of the Pocket Wizards, they are indeed the industry standard. However, for the price of 2 Pocket Wizard Plus II tranceivers ($338.00 for 2 on B&H), you could buy a WHOLE…

OK, I just went to the AB website - I didn't realize they came out with a new battery powered remote system. I was thinking of only the AC devices which led me to conclude that they worked only with AC lights.
I also went to your review that…

Hey Jacob,
The Cyber Syncs work with any lighting system just like Pocket Wizards. They don't have the range that PW's have but I usually don't photograph subjects 20 miles away. ;)
Also, replying to what Brent said, if you're…

I have alien bee lights and nikon speed lights (sb600/800) and the AB cyber syncs work with all of them
