Using the Cybersyncs as a Shutter Release

I just recently found something out--you can use Cybersyncs as a wireless shutter release.


Here's how: Connect a receiver to the camera via motor cable. Set it and another
receiver to a channel (let's say channel 4). Put the transmitter on
your hotshoe, and set it to the same channel as your other receivers
triggering strobes (for example, channel 6). Set the receiver not
connected to your camera in the first group (channel 4) to relay mode.
Use it to trigger the receiver connected to your camera. The camera's
shutter releases, and the transmitter on top of the hotshoe fires your
remote strobes. Alternately, you can use a second transmitter instead
of a receiver in relay mode.



You can't use a single channel to fire all simultaneously because of
the delay of firing a shutter release (the strobes won't be recorded in
the shot if you do a single channel).


I hope that's a concise yet understandable explanation. I just woke up for no good reason and it's nearly 3am. I'm gonna try to get some more sleep.
