@@whyrural If your speed lights are in a slave mode and set to fire under manual power when they detect a strobe fire, then yes, you can do this without any additional receivers as long as you have one PCB strobe that will fire with a CyberSync receiver connected. Or if you have a CyberSync receiver that is connected to a speed light with a sync cord, then again, yes they will fire. The HUB in that case would just be the simple trigger, as it would for any strobe. Hope this info helps.
@@MikeMcGeePhotography Hi Mike. Thanks for the reply. I use the older PCF transmitter with the pc sync cord to fire my PCB strobe and use the canon flash system to fire my canon flashes in the shoe. The cord and pc sync is fiddly and then I have two triggering system on my camera. I use a Really Right Stuff rail to hold the PCB system. Sometimes I need a strobe but the canon flashes work for side light and hair light. The new PCB transmitter does not have the pc sync. I am wondering if I could replace the PCB transmitter and pc sync cord with the Hub. Then just place my canon flash on it and control my canon flashes through it with a canon 430 exiii. It seems to me that the new link is a colossal failure. It is just toooooo heavy for portable work--and that should have been its purpose. They should have put the battery on the Digibee. Thanks!! I own an AlienBee, Einstein and Digibee. I also own 4 Canon 600 EXii and 7 430 exiii. I need to mix them and hope the Hub is not a fail for me too.
@@whyrural Just a few things: Currently, the HUB Remote from Paul C. Buff is for Nikon only, with the Canon option coming soon, so this would likely be a better option for you. However, the HUB Remote does have a sync port. The HUB is to remain in the hot shoe of the camera, and would you always get a CyberSync receiver that has a sync port to receive the signal from the HUB and essentially keep you existing setup with the HUB. I know what you mean about the weight of the LINK, and that was thew most surprising thing to me. However, I don't think the LINK is a failure, and I have two of them now. They are essential tools if you want to shoot High Speed Sync with excellent power from a PCB strobe. The colored domes are great too and since you own DigiBees, you may want to see my other video on a cheap hack to allow your DigiBees to also use the new colored domes originally designed for the LINK. :)
You saved me 2 to 3 hours of internet surfing, thanks.
That's *exactly* why I made this video. It took me forever to find a case for it. Glad this helped you!
Do a video about the Hub!!!!!
Not a bad idea. I can definitely do one about the HUB remote. Added to my To Do list, thanks.
@@MikeMcGeePhotography Awesome. My question is can I mix in my speedlights and the the Buff Strobes with the Hub.
