Cyber Commander™
$179.95
Cyber Commander™ is the heart and soul of our all-American CyberSync™ family of ultratech 2.4GHz radio remote control components. Quite simply, it’s light years ahead of anything the photo world has ever seen. In addition to sixteen light channels,
Cyber Commander™ offers sixteen user-selectable frequencies within the 2.4GHz band for complete freedom from interference or misfiring and from other photographers with radio systems.
Extreme signal integrity is assured via 256 bit state-of-the-art encoding, and its extremely low delay of 1/4000 second allows sync speeds as short as 1/2500 second on compatible cameras.
It will not, however, support High Speed Sync (HSS/FP).

Cyber Commander™ Features:
- controls and displays virtually every parameter of a complex studio flash setup of up to sixteen light units
- controls and displays the relative flashpower and modeling lamp brightness of all of the lights in your setup, from 1.56 to 6400WS per light
- displays the actual camera f-stop of each light (or of all lights or of any particular group of lights) from a built-in high accuracy flashmeter that allows setting ISO and exposure time and exact calibration from your lights to your camera
- provides an exact digital readout of the camera f-stop, t.1 flash duration, color temperature, modeling watts, flash WS and the relative flashpower using the European standard numerical 0 to 10 scale for each light (automatically adjusting as adjustments are made)
- allows control of parameters from the camera position, including the status of recycle beepers, slaves, modeling lamps, and even power
- enables manual bracketing of individual lights or a group of lights in precise 1/10f digital steps, while automatically updating the camera f-stops and power levels without re-metering
- automatically compensates for setups containing lights with different WS ratings and model lamp wattages, maintaining deadly accurate what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) proportionality between modeling preview and flash exposure
- displays the light name and version for each connected light – accommodating a combination of AlienBees™, White Lightning™, ZEUS™, and Einstein™ units as well as speedlights and flash units by other manufacturers – allowing you to name individual lights as well with names like “Left Main” or “Hair Light.”
- stores and retrieves over 50 complex lighting setups on an inexpensive Micro SD card (also allows firmware upgrades as they are released)
- offers an extended operating range with high signal integrity - a usable range of up to 150 feet, depending on obstructions such as walls or adverse conditions such as metal buildings, bodies of water, etc.
- runs on a pair of standard alkaline or lithium quick-change AAA batteries

The
Cyber Commander™ mounts on the hot shoe of your camera, syncing with your camera so that the cue to fire is sent when your camera shutter is pressed. All parameters are controlled using the joysticks on the face of the unit.
With the CyberSync™ system, the
Cyber Commander™ serves as the transmitter at the camera position and each light in the setup requires a receiver. The
Cyber Commander™ can be used with all CyberSync™ receivers for the purposes of remotely firing units, however, for adjustment of flashpower and control of all other parameters, the
CSR+ and/or
CSRB+ receivers are required.
