@motleypixel I’m Getting into some more action night photography mainly skateboarding and snowboarding And one vivitar flash isn’t enough anymore. So how does the V4 connect to the flash itself. And what flashes do you recommend me getting?
I ordered a generic version of the same triggers. My plan is to mount the flash directly to the bracket and just use the PC cord. From all the reviews I hear these work well but aren’t very strong. Why use the hotshoe then if you don’t have to?
Yes they will. Good news for you too…the V4′s are available and far superior to the V2s and the V5s (which I’m beta testing for the manufacture right now) will be out hopefully early next year. The V4′s are available at Gadget Infinity.
I am sure you have recieved this type of question, but I will ask anyway. Will this system allow me to use my SB-600, my old school Minolta Auto 25, and my other old school flash together? When I say old school, I mean dinosaurs.
Hello,
Great video. I have a Minolta 360PX flashgun, it is good but old. Does the receiver trigger the flash? I’m just wondering if older flashes lack something which may cause them to not work with the cactus
@dexjapitan Gadget Infinity (great place and service) and today the newer version are much better. Thanks for asking!
that a nice demo.
by the way,where did you purchased this item?
Damn you are professional. I totally will upgrade my flash trigger using your videos as a guide. Thank you very much for making these. :–)
Greetings from Finland.
Thanks for posting! Good job
can they work with vivitar sf 4000
@limpciano : actually I can. With some set up with the computer for the high speed sync, my pocket wizard can communicate to my flash and let me shoot at over 1/1000 with F2.8. It only works if your flash support high speed sync.
good review, thanks man
@silmusashi but u can’t use flash over 1/320s
your wife looke nice!! thx for the test by the way!!
it flashed at 70 ft dumbass
Thanks. Good review. 30% seems like a really high failure rate to me. I need a set with 2 receivers for sports photography. I would hate to miss an important shot because of a failure.
Thanks again.
@shrimpinpat: well…what if your shutter speed is 1/500? I think you will need pocketwizard instead of cactus for this situation.
The flashes fire faster faster than the video camera could pick up.
good information
Im fairly new to photography and I wanted a set of wireless triggers, so would these be good for the 430ez speedlite? I’m using the eos 500 which has a crap flash sync of 1/90. (Hopefully when I get more money I will upgrade to 500d)
lol @ the ordering about of wifey.
im pretty sure 90% of the time they didnt fire.
get some epoxy or mighty putty thatyll take care of the broken plastic.
true if u have the money but 34 bucks dude thats not bad.
buying the pocket wizard hmm yes spend like 400 bucks when this kit cost 34
for bigger plants its better to use a shovel
Oh, I live in Bonaire which is full of catus. I want to plant one in my garden here is what I did yesterday to today…I cut a “leaf” (like the first one she did) and then I stuck it in the the grown which is dry with no moisture…should I water it? Im I doing something wrong? Can anyone help me? Thanks!
lol that small one looks cute
I really2x cactuses.. i have a lot of it..
Nice rack
