Read my text in which I never claimed 1/1000th. I can get to 1/800th which is the max my lenses can get to.Just tried the camera in the studio with Elinchrom studio lights and fastest sync is 1/320th with Skyports. So your 1/1000th is highly unrealistic, Guy!
I have no idea how Dustbak gets sync at 1/1000th... it's the delay in encoding then decoding the signal from thewireless transmitter that won't let it sync this high, claim both PW and ELinchrom. I met with Pocket Wizard people and ELinchrom people at the weekend, you see.
PW are going to look into it closely (and weren't even aware of the 1/1600th flash sync with the P40+).
And Elinchrom had a secret new product with them... and my pal is testing it for them right now on p40+/ Phase DF.
More news soon!
Not sure what those people tell you, I can only tell you it works for me without problems.
Just to show it is possible I have placed a screenshot from a raw file in Phocus. Look in the lower right corner to see at what shutter speed this image has been taken. It says 1/800. This image was done with the skyport on the Quadra and 2 SB800's with universal receivers.

This is just one image, I have a lot more taken at shutter speeds in the /1500th & 1/800th range. It actually works so smoothly I never even gave it a thought it would not work.
