Why isn´t Cactus own flashes an option in V6 II?

There is option for flashes like Canon, Nikon and so on, but why isn´t Cactus RF60(X) an option in V6 II?

Comments

  • Because they have their own receiver built in, so there's no need to be using a V6 II with them.
  • Spot on, thanks @paulster.

    TTL or HSS not working on Cactus V6 II and V6 IIs? Be sure to check hot shoe connectivity by doing the <CAMERA INFO> check.

  • Thx for your answer @paulster.
    I know that the RF60(X) has a built in receiever. But if I use the V6 II as sender I have to choose "Auto" for the flash. But there is option for Canon, Nikon with others. It doesn´t matter but I was just curious to know. So that was my more detailed question.
  • Hey @petade,

    On the TX unit, the option you see for flash profiles is for an on-camera flash.

    You can mount a Canon flash (e.g. Canon 600EX-RT) on the V6 II TX, and the V6 II mounted on a Fujifilm X-T2.   By using auto-detect, the V6 II will identify both the camera and on-camera flash system, and you will be able to control the flash power and zoom of the on-camera flash, triggering a flash x-sync and HSS.

    There isn't any Cactus "flash system" nor "flash profile" because you simply would never need to mount one on a V6 / V6 II. And even if you did, the RF60X only has a single pin hot shoe, meaning the V6 will see it as a manual flash, and not any specific system.

    Hope this helps.
