* Cactus V6 IIs Wireless Flash Transceiver for Sony Cameras
The Cactus V6 II Wireless Transceiver is a simple yet versatile flash trigger that can support a wide range of different camera and flash brands. With its plug-and-play style system, the transceiver can auto-detect your flash system on start-up and select the correct profile for you to get started. Profiles can also be selected manually and customised for a more precise touch. The unit works on the 2.4 GHz frequency, supporting 16 channels or 4 groups with a Multi-Master mode that allows multiple users to trigger the same flashes, perfect for demonstrations or events with more than one photographer.
Cross-Brand Support
The Cactus V6 II Wireless Flash Transceiver can automatically detect your camera and flash unit type upon start up, selecting the system your flash belongs to and assigns a profile to it. This plug-and-play ability offers incredibly simple set-up, making it an ideal solution for newer flash-users.
Customised Flash Profiles
The Flash Transceiver also lets you manually select profiles for over 60 popular flash models, offering accurate power output. Further customisation can be done via the Cactus Profile Editor for more adjustments based on your preferences and up to 10 separate flash profiles can be saved.
AF-Assist and Multi-Master Support
Operating on a low interference 2.4 GHz radio frequency, flashes can be set-up on 16 channels or 4 groups and can be triggered from up to 100m away. AF-Assist helps with focusing in low light and Multi-Master mode lets up to 20 photographers trigger the same set of flashes using their own settings. This is incredibly convenient and ideal when working at events or for photography teams.
Dual High Speed Sync Modes
The Cactus V6 II features standard High Speed Sync which supports up to 1/8000s for smoother shutter actuations. The Power Sync mode can boost your flash power above the camera’s sync speed for that little bit of extra power when normal HSS is not enough.
NOTE: A minimum of two V6 II units are required, one as a transmitter and the other as a receiver to trigger and remotely change power and zoom of a portable flash.

1 – With the exception of Pentax system flashes due to special timing requirements so it must be paired with a Pentax camera in order to support HSS. 2 – Power Sync may require the user to adjust the sync time in order to eliminate any banding issues (black lines across the image). 3 – AF-assist works when the camera sends out a corresponding signal. 4 – To auto-detect camera system, half-press the shutter release of camera while switching on the V6 II to TX mode. |
