i've been using my cactus v2's for awhile now and havnt had any issues til i got my phottix cleon II c8 in today. it seems the rf in the c8 is interfearing with the v2's reciever. if i just use the wired part of c8 the v2 works everytime but when using the wireless remote the v2 works 1-2 out of 10 tries. i even changed the dip settings and it still the same. is there a way around this or am i forced to replace one of them?

so i resync it and it was still the same. and then about 30mins later i just tried to test it again and it seems to be working. i was thinking maybe it was the resyncing but it didnt work right after so why was it working now. its seems to getting off 7-8 out of 10 shots and now im just thinking that it works fine and the the missed shots was just the reliability of the cactus v2s. kinda confused right now.

ok its seems to be inconsistent. does anyone else have this problem. does anyone have the v4s and this set and if so can u tell me if they work well. i wanna do some outside self portraits.

edit:

ok from what i've been reading all these triggers seems to be send out the same frequency even if you change the channels. so the radio conflicts will still be there. i read somewhere that u set a delay on it so that they dont conflict with each other and i tried it and it seems to be working every single time. i wish the first way worked.
