HI guys, have any of you used the new Cactus V6II wireless flash trigger ?
I ask as I have some basic question and hope someone can answer, as I'm quite new to the world of wireless flash systems, having only ever used Nikon's wireless TTL system.
Right, so if I'm shooting with say my Olympus EM1 II, and I have my Olympus FL-600R set up off camera on a stand mounted on a Cactus V6II trigger, I assume I can't just use the accessory flash that came with the EM1 to fire the flash remotely via TTL (like I can if using the Fl-600R without the trigger and just set to wireless mode) - I guess I would need a second Cactus on camera to "control" the one mounted on the flash ?
Second, Cactus promotes cross system compatibility, so does this mean (for instance), again as an example, I could use the EM1 with a V6II on camera hotshoe mounted, and then my 3 Nikon SB-900's and my Olympus FL-600R all fitted into their own cactus triggers (if I wanted a 4 light set up) and my Olympus camera will then control the Nikon and Olympus flashes wirelessly and vis TTL metering including HSS, or does it just mean it will work the Canon, Nikon, Fuji , Olympus etc. but only controlling their own brand flashes ?
Thanks
