Thanks awaldram.
I've been on the Cactus support forums, and ClassA has been an immense help there.
I got the HSS syncing to work via S2-MainFlash and no delay all the way up to 1/8000s. I was shocked it worked at all that fast. I'll have to bring to the studio to test on a good wall to see if the shutter is interfering. I suspect it must be to some extent. I'll only need 1/800 or so in most cases, so it is a great solution for close proximity work!
But since my main need will be in bright daylight with flashes at a distance, the optical sensor won't be reliable.
I'm hoping at this point to get the V6 S2 optical sensor to work and trigger the remote RF60's... just not having much luck there. Waiting for ClassA to check out my setup and see if he notices something wrong.
I'm glad I don't do this sort of work often. With Pentax continuing to crippled their bodies so they won't fire a standard flash above 1/180s and not having the third party support for PTTL makes using Pentax equipment a real bother at times.
Its the best equipment for the price, but dang... they don't make it easy.

Well that's good to hear. I am on the fence with keep these right now. They seem nice and even if they do not pan out for my intended purpose I might keep as extra manual flashes for special use in the studio. It would be interesting to attempt remotely firing the camera body via the v6.
Just hoping I can get HSS to work at a distance to justify the expense of these guys.
If I cannot get that to work I might need to bring some ND filters and my studio strobes on battery for the job.
My assistant's back and the customer would probably hate me for that, though.
