Don't know if this has been posted already, hopefully all Pentax Camera are supported.

This is going to be an issue for cactus with the release of their RQ250 model.

The Godox looks sweet. I’m into the Cactus system with 4 x RF60’s and two V6 transceivers. Have been waiting for the RQ250 but Cactus has been slow releasing it....

Already a thread in the flash area of the forum.

FWIW, Godox also have a booth at Photokina, which will soon give people an opportunity to test this trigger out.

I hope this will work with the yongou 585EX.

So future is a bit brighter for me. Good option to upgrade my Youngnuo setup.

YEEEEESSSSSS!

This is something I'm genuinely excited about.

I'm having a hard time working out what this works with. I have several manual lenses that I use old cactus triggers with for a strobist setup -- as well as a Pentax AF540FGZii for P-TTL work. This appears to be a transmitter, but what does it transmit too?

I think this image sums it up. It can transmit to some strobes and speedlights directly via radio, and indirectly communicate with other strobes via another radio receiver/trigger:

and this table:

I've seen that image, but there was no info about what that receiver is. The table says its might be a XTR-16, but clicking on that on the website brings me to a product that looks nothing like the receiver in that image.

And when I look at the flashes like the V860ii that doesn't need a reciever, I don't see any Pentax compatible ones - only Nikon, Canon, Fuji, Sony, Olympus/Panasonic.

Nothing is written in a way that makes sense! Like: "Note: The range of support functions: The functions that are both owned by XProP and flash" -- That isn't a sentence

Most of the Godox flahses use a unified protocol. Once Godox gets the signal from the camera body, godox uses it's own protocol to carry instructions to the various flashes. I think the only exception might be TTL metering, but HSS should be usable even if the flash says "Canon"/"Nikon"/"Fuji".

What he ^ said. They unit works with any Godox flash listed in the chart. Each trigger is unique to the Camera brand to which it is attached but the Godox flashes share a common protocol which the trigger transmits to them after translating the camera TTL. EAch flash contains a receiver. A Sony godox flash can be attached to a Sony MIS camera directly or controlled remotely by any of the Godox triggers.They will not be able to control Pentax flash units. I do not know about any separate receiver units. Maybe I missed that.

Looks like a nice bit of kit. Shame the hardware is brand specific - Cactus V6ii just need a firmware change to work on any of Canon, Fuji, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax or Sigma; only Sony requires specific hardware.

**landofcourtness** · 08-31-2018, 12:02 AM

Any indication when this is coming out??

Also, I have non-godox flashes. Is there a way to use this transmitter with them? A pocketwizard connection of some kind, maybe. I was planning on getting the AD200, but I also want the option to use my other flashes too.
