Item Description
With a deployment looming (again), I'm streamlining my kit a bit, and part of that is my flash equipment. I've used the Yongnuo system before and quite frankly, it is subpar to the Cactus system. Not only are the Cactus flashes better built, but the user-interface is more intuitive in my opinion. Additionally, the Cactus has two huge advantages.

First, the top of the wireless master controller (that mounts to the hotshoe and allows you to change the power of each flash) has another hotshoe that allows for a flash to be mounted on top anyway. So if you need wireless OCF flash and THEN a flash on top, you have that option. With Yongnuo, you don't.

Also, my favorite feature is that THE FLASHES HAVE TRIPOD MOUNTS BUILT RIGHT INTO THEM!!!!!!!!!!! You can literally mount them anywhere and to anything!





2x RF 60 flashes and 1x V6 transceiver for $285 shipped to anywhere in the US.

OCONUS is an option as well - just let me know via PM and we'll work it out. They are 100% brand new (as I have another set that I use). All boxes, cases, stands, papers, etc. are of course included and in excellent condition.

And as I am the owner of a K-3 and also K-1, I can guarantee that they will be 100% compatible with your camera, or pretty much any other camera as that's another strength of the Cactus system

P.S....unrelated, but soon there will be a front page article (front page of the PF) detailing how the cover photo for the UWA comparison review was made, which involved the same kit. Stay tuned for that...

great bit of kit .. someone better scoop it up.

I have identical with a K5iis and it's solid.



Goodluck!

Thanks loji! It really is - just streamlining my kit otherwise I have no need to sell - they are in perfect condition and work flawlessly.

These things are absolute workhorses. I've had this set for about 2 years now and they've gone through some 30k flashes. Still going strong. Color and control are both great on the Cactus system.

If you want off camera flash, buy these. You will not regret it.

What is the max sync speed these can fire? Of course using on a Pentax (I am using K50, so don't know if it has any limitations).

Using the given hardware, you're limited to your camera sync speed (1/180 on the K50?) If you get a V6II trigger you can go higher. HSS is all the rage these days, but I would not rate it as super useful in a lot of controlled situations.

I'll vouch for Cactus gear any day. I've got 3 RF-60s that I use all the time along with the V6 triggers (using the 2nd generation, now). Best wishes on your deployment once again.
