So, weird happening. I have two Cactus V2S receivers and I just got my second flash last night. Rather excitedly, wired the whole system up to play and found that for some reason I'm only able to fire one flash at a time. here's the run down:
one Canon 430EXII set to M 1/2 power, and attached to a V2S cactus receiver.
one Sigma 530 DG Super set to C1 Slave 1/2 power, and attached to a V2S cactus receiver.
Fire the transmitter once and only the 430EXII flashes.
Fire the transmitter a second time and the 430EXII flashes again.
Fire the transmitter a third time and the Sigma 530 fires while the 430EXII is recycling.
it doesn't matter where they are relative to each other or the trigger, the 430EXII ALWAYS fires first, and the 530 Super NEVER fires at the same time.
anyone have any thoughts or experiences? The only time I've gotten the two flashes to fire simultaneously is using the 530's built in optical slave, which has kind of defeated the purpose of using a radio trigger.
