Portable Flashes and Studio Strobe Lights
Cactus V5 works with all portable flashes
and strobes with triggering voltage
between 0V - 300V , and equipped with any of
the following connection interfaces:
• Hot shoe
• 3. 5mm port
• PC sync female
• 6. 35mm port
Cactus V5 is not compatible with reverse
polarity flashes and some dedicated flash
models, as indicated in Notes on Dedicated
Flash below.
Notes on Dedicated Flash:
1. Cactus V5 does not transmit TTL
information.
2. Connecting Cactus V5 transceiver to a
flash with a Sony Alpha style hot shoe
requires an optional hot shoe adapter
(i.e. the "FS-1200 hot shoe adapter") .
3. Some dedicated flashes (e.g. Nissin
Di-622 and Di-466, Sunpak PZ42x and
PZ30, Sigma EF-530/500 DG ST for Canon,
etc. ) are triggered via system-specific
pins instead of the central hot shoe
contact. Cactus V5 does not work with
these flash models. To check whether
