Yes, it can be triggered. That's about all. Using one of these custom 45 CT1 cable/plugs from
flashzebra.com.
Originally posted by Class A did you successfully profile it?
Not possible, I think. It's power profile is adjusted in 5 stages via a manually stepped resistor, and then the subsequent amount of flash delivered is up to the in-built 'photo-transistor' and 'telecomputer'. More variations in flash output control are possible via the add-on Mecamat 45-20 sensor (which I also have) but I am not sure if the v6 could control the power output of the 45 CT1 either directly or via the Mecamat.
Originally posted by Class A why you used a sync cable. Did you not want to put the flash on the V6's female hot-shoe?
Not possible. No hotshoe connection on the 45 CT1. Here's a 45 CT1. All you get is an X-sync cable. I could mount the Mecamat on the V6 hotshoe, I guess, then connect the Mecamat to the 45 CT1. No doubt it would work, but then there is a big mess of cables. I wanted everything to be nice and neat, and work on one flash bracket.

Originally posted by Class A Note that you can put the V6 in Tx mode as well; the safe-sync feature will still work (even in TTL pass-through mode).
Didn't work for me. In Tx mode the flash did not fire - and even the 'Flash ready' neon light completely dimmed out on the Metz when the V6 was put into Tx mode. Only in Rx mode did it fire the flash (when the v6 was plugged directly into the Metz).
