Hello,

I have an Alien Bee 800 and an SB-800 i'm trying to use together with CyberSync triggers. I can get both of these to fire, but when I turn the AB ( alien Bee)'s slider to 1/32 power it's still blowing out my backgrounds. I can seem to control the output of the SB-800 but oddly, the AB seems to constantly be firing at full power? .... my settings are 5.6, ISO 200, 1/200th .... I can't seem to figure this out?

I'm going to assume you fired multiple shots and it's still not working? When you power down a strobe like AB800, the first shot you take after will still fire at the previous power setting.

What happens when you fire the AB800 without using the SB800? Do the power settings work?
