Hi there, I am a recent 645z owner and just realized the banding at 1/125 when using strobes.
Also as an user of the cactus v6II I thought that this might be the problem, but when going back to my first images using elinchrom triggers I also got the banding at the bottom of the image.
By the way I am using profoto b1 and b2
Any way to fix that? Is it a general problem or something wrong with my camera body?
thanks

So here am I again.
I did a reset (in my case goes back to 007 firmware)
camera system: pentax
flash system: canon
flash profile: auto canon
trigger above cactus: air remote ttl-c (canon)
After that had different results: a.) could fire HSS but not the 1st curtain (in case you dont know, there are three options to be set on the trigger:1st,2nd,hss)
2nd curtain never worked for me anyway.
then, turned everything off, had some lunch and came back to retry b.) could fire only the 1st curtain but no HSS this moment the batteries on the profoto trigger was almost empty. recharged the battery and c.) could fire hss in manual mode and 1st curtain only in TTL (even if it doesn't read ttl).
When changing between HSS and 1st in Manual mode I noticed that the shutter speed value in the camera changes. The options between 60th and 160th of a second do not show up, only when i change to TTL.
So that's where I am, downgraded to the 006 firmware and the results are the same.
HSS in manual mode and if I want to use the pentax sync speed or lower have to go TTL

I am using the Canon trigger as well.
I guess I will have to replace my cactus for a new one to see if the problem persists.
Because, as I mentioned, everything worked when I first bought it.
thanks,

Hi there,
thanks for the video.
Bought a v6ii last month with the 007 firmware.
Same setup as yours and the same results too.
Last week, nothing worked and the air remote got frozen, specially when i tried synching with the 2nd curtain (which never worked, does it work for you?).
Since then, I have a lot of misfires. When air remote is frozen I have to trigger it with the cactus button and sometimes it comes back.
tried with a second air remote canon and same happened. Downgraded to 006 and nothing changed.
Any idea why?
Maybe my cactus is not working properly.
thanks
