cactus v4 compatible with canon 400d??

Hi Everyone,

I've want to get into off camera flash photography, i've just ordered some cactus v4's as i've heard off a friend that they will work on my canon 400d and my canon 430 v2 but i haven'r heard of anyone on here that has used them on a canon 400d...now i;m getting a bit worried if they will work with my camera??

Can some one pls put my mind to rest

And if so will i need to buy any extra bits for them to work or will they work straight out of the box?

All comments will be apprecieated

I use the V4s on a my 400D and 430I. You will be fine with them matey. They're great value!

New batteries as supplied batteries in V2 units mostly have been reported DOA. Not sure about this V4 though.

The AAA's in the V4's work fine. I will be replacing them fairly soon though as they're a pretty generic brand.

Can't comment on the V2. But the batteries were the least of their problems.

All cables are supplied too. If you have the right hot-shoe adapters, again, you'll be fine.
