Cactus V6II Relay mode

JeffBurns · 11-26-2017, 06:00 AM

Relay mode worked with my Pentax K-3, RF 60, and V6II with firmware versions:
RF 60 V205
V6II V1.1.013

Now, with with firmware RF 60 VA01 and V6II PEN.A.001, the flash fires too early.

I contacted Cactus, and they replied indicating it should work, but I still cannot get it to work. Has anyone else been able to get relay mode to work with a K-3?

I have an RF 60X

and set the delay timer to 80mS on the Flash unit. user manuel Page 38-39.
Maybe that is also the case for the RF 60

The latest firmware fixes this problem.
