AF500ftz question

shiestmiester · 03-14-2009, 04:03 PM

Can anyone confirm or deny whether or not the Pentax AF500ftz does or does not work with the cactus V2s wireless triggers.

Thanks

Ok does anyone know the trigger voltage of the AF500ftz flash. Looked online and can't find an answer. Don't have one to test, deciding on purchase.

AF-500FTZ is 3.8 volts.

Thanks. Hopefully when I buy the flash it will work with my V2s triggers. I have an AF200t that works so hopefully more of the same.

Thanks for the Input.

Yes, I have Cactus V2's and a AF500FTZ and they work fine together on all manual settings. The only issue is that the AF500 has a tendency to auto power off after a period of unuse, but that is a feature of the flash. I don't remember how long that is though.

Very cool. Af500 in the mail now. Just have to order another cactus trigger so i can trigger both with radio and not radio - optical combo.
