Thanks. Glad you found it helpful.

It would be great if someone could post a detailed review of CyberSyncs also. That's definitely one model (right now) that I might have bought rather than Flashwaves.

Skyport's proprietary battery was a big turn off ... one of the reasons I kept searching for an alternative until I found Flashwaves.

Between Skyports and Cybersyncs, I really don't see ANY advantage of Skyports, if Cybersyncs perform to the specs. Price is definitely very attractive on Cybersyncs. The big questions are (1) Is the range so important as to give up the built-in hot shoe? and (2) is the built-in hot shoe worth the extra cost? Personally, as for question #1, the range wasn't very important for me, and as for #2, I think it was.

I guess the only other very compelling choice would be the yet-to-exist Radio Popper Junior. I read on another forum just yesterday that Radio Popper Jr. might come out with a built-in hot shoe.
