Cactus V6 Flash trigger

Bluefin · 08-28-2017, 10:03 AM

Just wanted to pass on to anyone interested that I am super happy with the Cactus V6 Flash trigger.

I have a Z and 3 Nikon SB600s. I put one unit on the Z in transmit mode and the other units under the SB600s in receiver mode on any of the 4 channels. I can adjust the flash intensity on any of the remote channels from the unit on the Z. I have even put a Cactus between the Z and the Nikon flash and used as an "Onboard" flash. Super easy to use and very inexpensive.

Have a great week.......Mark

Thanks Mark, there's a fair few of us who enjoy the Cactus system, and now with the V6II we have HSS and TTL will be coming soon! Good to hear your Nikon flashes have gained a new life alongside the Z.

Any idea how far off the TTL firmware update will be? I'm getting impatient!
