Received a set of RF-602's to mate with a pair of 285HV's. Compared to the Cactus V2s, they are worlds apart: build quality, reliability, ergonomics (with 285HV - on 430EX the IR beam housing blocks the on/off switch), flash compatibility, etc. On every count they are superior.

Just yesterday I had an incident wherein I knocked over a 6.5' light stand, at nearly full extension, and the bracket that was holding the RF-602 Rx and 285HV fell over, and the flash and Rx hit the concrete floor of the garage. I just about died...

I pick them up, power everything up and grab the Tx...all was well...unbelievable!

Big props to Yongnuo and Vivtar for their fine products!
