Cactus V4 review

[benhasajeep]

I did a short review on the V4's a while ago. With fresh batteries and clear line of site outdoors they were reliable (20 for 20) at 225' (measured). Approaching 250' and longer misfires started to show. They would fire at 300' but 1 of 2 flashes were intermittent. Antanna position is important. It does matter if its up or down and if anything is in front of it. I even notice a performance change if you turn the camera say 90 to the left. So, the addition of the antenna and position does make a difference.

I now have 2 transmitters and 12 recievers. Not one has failed or broken. They get used probably 3-4 times a month so they are not getting a daily beating. Still happy with them after about 9 months (first 6). Ordered another 6 was so satisfied with them.

Just bringing up an old topic. Everyone still loving their V4's? Is there a sync that does iTTL for Nikon?
