theyre just over $100 for a trans/receiver Cyber Sync (you can get 10% off for being a student!) vs nearly $400 for the Pocket Wizard.
youre fooling yourself if you think spending more gets you a superior product. both of these items are made of monumentally cheap electronics.
you need pocket wizards if:
keep in mind also, that CS's are rated at 350', and PW are rated at 400'. so theres really not much of a difference. with repeater mode you can double the CS's range.
end of story.

youre fooling yourself if you think spending more gets you a superior product. both of these items are made of monumentally cheap electronics.
you need pocket wizards if:
two reasons, and two reasons only.
1) if you need the extra range
2) if you collaborate with others. most pros around here seem to have "standardized" on PW.
No point in showing up, unable to fire 1/2 the lights or vice versa.
As I've said before, this pref might be a regional thing, just a theory of mine.
If neither of those apply to you, then obviously the "benefits" appear to be nil for you because they are.
If so...fill yer boots with the trigger of your choice.
As for why the product itself is priced so much higher...they were priced into a market niche long ago, according to supply/demand and perceived value. Like any product.
Whether that price is meaningful and perceived as "fair" by you...refer to points 1 and 2.
keep in mind also, that CS's are rated at 350', and PW are rated at 400'. so theres really not much of a difference. with repeater mode you can double the CS's range.
