Cheap wireless trigger that works with 40 volts?

nixcamic · 08-06-2008, 06:17 PM

I have an old flash that has a sync voltage around 35 volts, that I would like to use with my GX-10. Does anyone know if any of the dirt cheap wireless triggers on ebay will support that high of a voltage? If not, does anyone know of a cheap alternative to the safe sync?

The one good thing about the Cacti is that they can handle the sync voltage of even the really old 200-300v trigger voltage flashes.

I think even the V2s (designed to improve performance with LV flashes) can work with high voltage ones. The original Cactus V2 (not V2s) can definately handle 35v. Fairly certain the V2s can handle 35v also.

I seem to remember seeing on several of the cactus V2 pages that they shouldn't be used with anything over 12 volts. They could have been V2ses though.
