Cactus V5 keeps on triggering

in V5 Problems
Hi,

I have a setup that gives me problems and I can't find the cause: 

Canon 5d mk III (and mk II as well) with a cactus V5 on the hotshoe mount and cable connected to the N3 port and a Speedlite 580EX II with a cactus V5.  Once I make one photo (in burst mode) it keeps on firing and won't stop until I shut down the camera. When I make a single photo it just gets stuck and I can't autofocus for another photo. 

I've changed batteries and tried all different channels, connecting first and then turn on the camera and flash but I can't seem to find the problem. 

I this a problem that sounds familiar?

    May I help?

    When you mound the V5 on the camera hotshoe, you don't need to have a cable connected to the sync port. I guess that is why the V5 keeps on triggering until your camera is stopped.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Ray!

    Thanks for the quick answer! That was indeed the what was causing it, I got confused with making a wireless remote instead of a wireless flash setup. Now I know again. 
    Thanks for the help, your customer support is awesome!
