Anyone use Cactus V4's?

I read elsewhere that they triggering ratio is 7:10. Use for pro work is out of question.

Anyone use the search function? The dodginess of Cactus triggers is a well-trodden path...I'd vote no.

I read elsewhere that they work quite alright.

7:10 that just = utter frustration.


I knew that the V2's sucked, but I thought there had been some massive improvements in the later V4 model.

I got a set of these,haven't used them much,but I'v played with them some.In a metal building at work they fired every time I pressed the test button out to about 100 feet.They have fired off for no reason a few times,and not fired a few time while on the camera but that could have been from a bad connection.
But for me,they will do for now till I can learn how to set the exposure.

PRODUCT : RPS 4 Channel Radio Trigger

DESCRIPTION : RPS Raido Flash Trigger Kit 4 Channel

This kit allows a monolite flash to be triggered without the use of a synch cord or cable. It is done by RF (Radio Frequency) which is more secure then infrared and is not "line of sight."
The kit consists of a receiver which plugs into the flash unit which accepts the 1/" mono plug. Included in the kit are adapters for 3.5 mini plug as well as a PC outlet. Also included is a transmitter which mounts on the cameras hot shoe. When the unit is activated, the shutter release triggers the transmitter which fires
the flash. Other flashes which have a built-in slave synch will also be triggered.
This is a four channel kit.
