easy and is Pttl exposure rather than manual exposure with the Cactus V6 II.
By the way, I use also use the Cactus V6 II (and Mark I's) and Godox triggers and Godox, Pentax and legacy Nikon flashes so I've kind of tried a bit of everything.
Pttl comes into it's own when you are feeling lazy or are in faster paced environments assuming you are using a K3 (that fixed inconsistent flash exposure on earlier models). However, if I've got the time I'd much rather shoot in manual mode and dial in my flash settings.
You'll also find a recent post (
Finally got my Acon 930 Triggers and receivers! - PentaxForums.com) here at Pentax Forums with another satisfied Acon R930 user so it's not all bad.

I use PTTL not because lazy but for it is correct and I need that.
But when plenty of time and static shoot. and multi flashes. I some times use manual too. but only with stand alone light meter or the R930 light meter.
I refuse to use any trgger make fake manual(not allow light meter). I want to use light meter if I dont use TTL.
I have 3 pentax flashes. but do manual work I use 2 receivers. I left one be triggeted by optical by another on one of the receivers. So I have 2 groups to be controlled by R930 sender.
these are red group and green group. easy to adjust and thanks to the 2 light meter, only several clicks done.

the interface is the only black points. it looks complex but with well designed. it can be fast. any way I don't do multi flash shoot many.
that is OK for me. I tried the v6ii also. I don't like the dial because feel no steps.
I prefer using the cheap Godox X1N and TT600 radio flash to do manual work. in door need not HSS. if need, I use R930II to make convert. as I said in previous posts. I see every flash with a receiver terrible. 1 is my limit.
these are full featrue solution. cool thing is I use one receiver and 3 flashes to make PTTL HSS strobe of course(manual capable). for HSS outside work. 1 flash GN too weak.
