Wireless flash triggers
Cactus V6 II
£89/$89
The original Cactus V6 made waves thanks to its ability to simultaneously trigger flashguns from all major manufacturers, including Canon, Nikon, Nissin and Sigma. The cross-compatible hotshoe design also meant the V6 wasn’t picky about which brand of camera you mounted it to.
This version II model can pull the exact same cross-compatibility tricks, and much more. The V6 II can now wirelessly transmit TTL signals to Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax and Sigma flashguns. There’s also cross-brand wireless manual flash power adjustment, zoom head control, and High-Speed Sync compatibility.
The V6 II is also able to auto-detect the brand of flashgun or camera to which it’s attached, and programme itself accordingly. Range is excellent at 100+ metres. There’s the ability to manage four flash groups over 16 possible channels. Everything’s controlled
