This
receiver works with Cactus Wireless Flash Trigger unit V4 when the
transmitter is activated. Several flash units work together helps fill
in shadows and improve the evenness of lighting.
Each
receiver works with one flash. You can use as many flashes as you wish
as long as you have enough receivers. Simply attach the hot shoe of the
external flash to that of the receiver, or use the flash's connection
cable to connect the receiver and the flash.
With
Cactus wireless flash trigger, you can place the flash at different
angles and distances from the object. This is particularly useful for
portrait and product photography. Most importantly, without the need to
connect the flash by wire or cable, you can move the flash to anywhere
that produces the best lighting to the object you shoot. Flexibility
provides you with the best result. The innovative standing design
allows major portable flash unit to sit securely on it without a
separate light stand.
The
receiver, once picks up the signal emitted from the transmitter when
shutter is pressed, will trigger off the external flash unit. Highest
responding time is 1/1000s. (actual sync speed varies from 1/125s to
1/600s depending on the sync speed limit of the camera system).
Notes
on compatibility:
-
Cactus
V4 does not work with V2s or V2;
-
Cactus
V4 does not transmit TTL information.
-
Some
dedicated flashes (e.g. Nissin Di-622 and Di-466, Sunpak PZ42x and
PZ30, Sigma EF-530/500 DG ST for Canon, etc.) are triggered via
system-specific pins instead of the central contact of the hot shoe.
Cactus V4 does not work with these flash models. To check whether your
dedicated flash units are compatible with Cactus V4, try attaching them
to a camera of other brand (e.g. attaching a Nikon TTL flash to a Canon
DSLR camera). If the flash can be triggered, it will work with Cactus
V4.
