I want to buy cybersync triggers to replace my ebay triggers. AlienBees: Illuminating the Galaxy with Professional Photographic Lighting Equipment

I need a way to mount them on my lightstands would I need one of these? I have a sb600 and a vivitar 285hv
FlashZebra.com: PC to Flash Hotshoe Adapter (Item #0065)

Are they reliable ?thanks

If your flashes don't have a sync port, then yes, you will need something like that adapter. Actually, I'd recommend THIS ONE, with a miniphone jack. It's a much better type of connection. The CyberSYnc will come with the correct cords.

You can mount that adapter directly to a light stand, as long as the light stand has a 1/4" threaded stud tip. You wouldn't have any adjustability though, just the up & down of the stand. Or you could use one of THESE.

The CyberSync receiver just connects to the flash (or adapter) with the cord...it's it doesn't actually hold the flash like the E-bay ones do. I usually just let mine hang, or use a rubber band to hold it more securely.
