Sony A6000 with RF60 (remote)

mathieucarbou

Hello,

I already have some Cactus V6 II (normal ones) and some RF60 flashes. I usually have a Cactus V6 II on my Nikon D810 that trigger the flashes.

If I want to use the Sony A6000 the same way, with HSS working, what exactly do I need to make this setup work with HSS ?

1. Just the Cactus V6 II Sony ?

2. Or I can just buy the Sony ADPMAA and plug the Cactus V6 II on top of it to trigger the flashes ?

3. Or if I use a simple converter (sony -> nikon) like this one: https://www.amazon.ca/Neewer-Converter-Adapter-Cameras-Camcorders/dp/B00R7H47VW, should I be able to use the Cactus V6 II and have HSS working ?

What is exactly the difference between Cactus V6 II and Cactus V6 IIs ? The shoe mount only ? Or there's some differences in camera support also ? I'd like ideally to re-use my existing V6 II as possible: I just need to TX the signal, I do not need compatibility for sony flashed for example.

Thanks!

Antonio

Hello Mathieu,

Your first guess is correct:

1. Just the Cactus V6 II Sony ?

The entire architecture is different, both hardware and software, between V6 II and V6 IIs.

In order to read all the camera information from the Sony camera, you will need the V6 IIs with the Sony MI Shoe.

The Neewer adapter might work? We haven't tested one so we can't be sure...
